Hey Waffle Gang, I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more Reddit stories. And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider.

I don't like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. Let's crack on with today's first story. Much love, guys. Now, today's first story comes from a throwaway account,

and it says, me, 27 female, heartbroken after my 26 male boyfriend of six years backs out of a planned

proposal. My boyfriend and I have been together six years as of this August. We lived together now

for close to two years as well. We have had many conversations about marriage, babies and

our future together. This past winter we had a more serious and strategic conversation

about our future than we've had in the past. We decided that we both wanted to get married in late January of 2019.

My boyfriend asked me to send him links to rings I was interested in for the engagement.

I sent him links by late January of 2018.

I of course wasn't expecting a proposal within a few weeks of our conversation.

However, I did assume that a proposal

would happen within the first three months of the year, considering we would need at least eight

months to plan a proper wedding. Pass forward to March 2018, and we have a vacation plan for the last

week of March slash the first week of April.

This trip was very representative of our relationship, as it was mainly hiking and outdoors

themed.

Maybe I was naive, but I was almost certain he was going to propose at some point during

our trip.

My friends and family were all expecting a proposal as well, despite the fact that we had not

talked to many people about our plans for marriage.

My boyfriend was seemingly the only person that did not notice what a great opportunity

our trip was for an engagement.
