Okay so I got engaged yesterday. I was wanting to wait till Friday with dancing and dinner and such, but somethings I suck at waiting with. This has been floating in my head now for a good month or so. It all started with talks of polyamory inspired by the lifestyle being sorta omnipresent in my life with others and such (most notably my ex-wife). However, poly was primarily a catalyst for other thoughts... ones of what does she mean in my life, where I want us to go, what goals and waymarks in my life do I want to hit before upping the relationship and such.
So I crawl in bed with her and start talking about some of this stuff. Some of the waymarks are things like career and job, her finishing nursing school, getting a larger place so my boys have their own room, finalizing the divorce with my ex-wife... oh yeah, most of you don't know this but I'm still legally married (finances and legal advantages are why we haven't finalized it). Weird thing is I can, for now, say Stef and Becka get along really well. I'm talking all this stuff with the lack of usual confidence in my voice, slightly teary and such, and then I ask her:
"Becka, will you marry me?"
And promptly get punched right in the face!
WTF?
"This better be real and not some intellectual discussion?"
~grinning~
"No it's real. I really want you to marry me. I won't guarantee what our lives will be like or that we won't hurt each other in the future. We're both divorced and we both know how things can play out, but I really want you in my life."
All the waymarks I was looking at solidified one thing in my head: I want to marry her.
So she said 'yes'.
Now the engagement orgy can begin.
