Looking for some advice here....
Every single holiday or bday or anniversary that passes, I seem to get a lot of different people asking me various personal questions like:
*Did your boyfriend pop the question?
*Where's the rock?
*Are you engaged yet?
*Do you think your boyfriend will ask you to marry him on NYE?
I've even had someone ask:
*Why hasn't he proposed yet?
This isn't friends or close family asking me, it's distant relatives and co-workers asking me. Personally, I find that it's rude to ask that or assume that he 'popped the question' for the holidays or whatever.
My boyfriend and I don't feel emotionally or financially ready to make that commitment, even though we've been otgteher for a long time (several years). All these questions are starting to play with my head. I am NOT ready to be married, but I'm starting to get bitter about it, b/c I'm feeling constantly badgered by these people. I almost catch myself thinking "What is wrong with me that he hasn't proposed?", etc. even though I know damn well that I personally have told him I'm not ready and we've had good conversations about it.
Anyways, the point of my post is .....what is the right way to respond to these questions?? I think people are out of line even asking (unless it's a close friend or relative). Any advice??
