Did anyone accidentally find out their FH was gonna propose?

I accidentally found out, but didn't tell my FH I knew it was coming! We were getting ready to go out to a nice dinner with for our dating anniversary, and I was sitting in the living room while he was in the bedroom, we had reservations at 7, and it was time to leave, so I peaked in and told him we needed to go as he was putting the ring in his pocket. He had a nice table set up for us at a nice restaurant, and had told our waiter, so he captured pictures of it. Even though I knew it was coming, I still cried! And come to find out, he had told everyone (my family, his family, his friends, my friends ) about 2 weeks before and they all kept it secret!

@Greenleaf I feel you!!! Around Valentine's Day last year FH kept making statements about a special something coming in and a surprise. But he said he had to pay it off. I knew it was a ring. Late March we went to New Orleans and the night before we leave he tells me he went over to tell his parents about something. He texts me later and says "So they are super excited about the idea of you and I getting engaged." I thought FOR SURE it was happening in New Orleans.

The last night there we had a fancy dinner planned, we were all dressed up and it was super romantic....Then NOTHING.

I was crushed. Now I had no idea at the time that he did want to but there was an issue with the ring and he was starting over from scratch. It actually caused a lot of tension with us and made me super depressed. But eventually it all worked out and after spazzing about a perfect proposal time, he randomly asked me at an art festival in July.

@Penny that is hilarious, I was the same way never even thought about marriage.

We had the ring made through a jeweler in NY and we live in VA. When the ring was shipped to my house, I knew it was coming. I handed the unopened box to FH and told him to keep it until he was ready. This was March 2016. He told me it would happen by the end of the year.

We visited my parents in May for Mothers Day,. They live 3 hours away. FH kept telling me that he wouldn't propose until he talked to my dad. I assumed he talked that weekend. We took our kids to NYC over Memorial Day and I assumed he would do it there. Every place we went I kept thinking he would do it. We went to the Statue of Liberty and in Central Park. All these romantic spots and no proposal. Plus he had a backpack the entire trip that he would never let me touch. We came home. No proposal.

We woke up one random Sunday in June and FH said let's go visit your parents. It was pouring down rain and I was tired. I didn't want to go so I talked him into going the next weekend that we didn't have kids, which was 2 weekends later. We drove on a Saturday and stayed the night. FH told me on the drive down that he wanted to talk to my dad. That was the longest 24 hours. I kept disappearing and going elsewhere in the house so they could have alone time. I told my mom to stay scarce because FH wanted to talk to my dad. My mom and dad knew about the ring and FH was 44 and I was 43. Not our first marriage but FH wanted to do it "right". There were about 5 times that FH had an opportunity but he couldn't get the nerve and he said my dad kept talking about other stuff. He kept "trying" but couldn't make it happen. My mom and I were getting so frustrated with both FH and my dad. It was time to leave and I went upstairs to get our bags to load the car. I looked outside and saw FH and my dad talking in the driveway. I stayed upstairs and then FH came up. They were talking less than 2 minutes so I assumed it was another unsuccessful attempt. FH didn't say anything one way or another and I was so annoyed, I was tired of asking "did you do it" so we drove home and talked about everything else. I called my mom when we got back and she asked me if FH was able to ask my dad and I told her I didn't know. This was making me insane so I told my mom to ask my dad if FH had "asked" him. My mom didn't ask my dad until later in the week. My dad told her FH did ask. The next weekend we had the kids was the first weekend in July and we went to Gatlinburg, TN for our first family vacation starting that Sunday. I suspected that FH would propose on the 4th because it's his favorite holiday. I assumed he would do it during fireworks because he loves fireworks. He did propose on the 4th of July, but at 6:50 pm when I was hot, tired, sweaty, and not expecting it at all. He does not know that my mom told me he talked to my dad.

Super long story..but I will try and keep it brief. Fh and I have known each other for 20 years. Sometime around 1999 after a romantic dinner he took me to a jewelry store and I got an aquamarine and diamond ring. We never set a date and so it was more of promise ring. We both parented special needs kids and split when teens and circumstances changed but never lost contact. We got back together 2011 and started getting serious. I had given the ring to my oldest daughter (I could not part with it) and wanted it back. she had Lost my ring. I was soo upset. It was replaced but remained my promise ring. 2012 for Christmas he gave me a small Marquis diamond. We announced our engagement and had a commitment ceremony the next summer in Pennsylvania and took all the kids to Hersey Park. Of course, a commitment ceremony does not include marriage license. So we set a date for 8/12/17 a year after deciding on the date. Nothing.. I repeat... Nothing happens quickly here. I have a new ring with a matching bridal set and But a year is enough to save for a nice wedding and I have about six months left. Sorry so long.

I actually didn't know. A friend of ours wanted to buy a ring for his girlfriend and me and FH took him to help him find one and I started looking around just because. We actually (FH and I) both found a ring that day but I never thought he would actually go buy the one I picked out. A couple months later I saw that a girl we both went to school with had just gotten engaged and I showed him and he replied "the suspense is killing you isn't it?" I ignored it and asked him what he meant the next day and he said he never said anything and that I was crazy.. then on Christmas Eve at his family's Christmas dinner he proposed in front on everyone. I had no idea at all.

So, my boyfriend and I are going to a convention this week and I've been suspecting for a long time that he was going to propose while there. Well tonight we had a big fight about the convention. Towards the end of it I said something about how it wasn't important and he left the room. He came back with the ring and told me exactly how he is going to propose to me this Saturday at the convention. About how his friend is coming with his camera to record it and the convention staff is in on it. I felt terrible that I made him so upset that he told me and I could see the instant regret on his face for telling me everything. He just wanted to make me understand why the convention was so important and why he was so stressed about it, but he immediately regretted saying anything at all. I feel awful for ruining the surprise, so I am drinking the rest of the bottle of wine I had in the fridge. I am a huge light-weight, so I am hoping that it will help me forget what he told me. If it doesn't I can pretend it did and he'll believe it hopefully (like I said, I am a complete light weight). I just feel awful about it though and I wish I could unhear everything and unsee the ring.

I knew it was coming. I had always told my FH how I wanted to get engaged over memorial day weekend up north with my family! He had been acting kind of strange the entire way up north, and I even made a comment to my sister (who knew) about him acting strange and she was really bad at brushing it off like it was no big deal. The one thing that did throw me off is I had always dreamed of it happening down by the water, and he didn't do it there probably because he knew I knew.
