my friend went from her boyfriend of 3+ years to this older guy like maybe a year ago? her ex had bought her an engagement ring that she picked out and just hadn't proposed yet when she met this new guy. honestly it's good because the other relationship definitely would have ended in divorce, but anyway. she broke up with the first boyfriend and moved in with the new guy right away, the new guy BOUGHT THE SAME RING FROM THE EX, and they're not engaged yet only because she's ~traditional~ and wants the new guy to ask her father for permission first lol.
idk i mean they're happy together but it has not been long enough yet and they're planning the wedding for spring 2011. the guy is six years older than we are so he's at the right age for this kind of stuff but we're only turning 21 this month so i can't help but feel like she's kind of giving her life away to get married and have kids so young.
