and i thought my MIL was a lil overbearing...
my poor best friend...she's been with her BF for about 5 years, they've been living together for about 3 years, recently bought a condo together. She's 26 he's 31. She's hinted around about engagement/marriage.. he sort of does the manly grunt and changes the subject so they've never really talked about it on the serious level even though he knows she has looked at rings before and she's sent him hints about what type of ring she'd like.
Today she fwds me an email from his mom.. apparently she's emailed her about 4 times today to let her know that she's made an appt for them to go see a local jeweler when they come up to visit in September and she even told the jeweler what cut my friend was looking for and setting and all. And she also sent the jeweler my friends info and plans on taking her mother to the store to take pics of some possible settings before my friend and her BF come up to see for themselves.
Ok so here are my thoughts.. either A. her "future MIL" is pushing them along, or pushing her son to get engaged... or B. he talked to his mom about it and she's under the assumption that my friend already knew he was planning to ask her.
Either way, my friend is completely freaked out and doesn't even know how to respond to this email. IMO, it took him about 9 months to even confirm that they were in a relationship so maybe he really does want to marry her but he's being slow about this too. i'm cautiously happy/excited for her because i know she really wants it but i'm soooo scared his mom is up to something and is now putting it in her head that he's going to ask .
