I just had to put this somewhere because it shows me just how much he truly loves me and how completely amazing he really is.
For Christmas, Donnie got me an absolutely gorgeous diamond cross necklace and diamond and sapphire ring. My mom said there was a story behind the ring, but Donnie would have to tell me....he couldn't tell me to my face, he had to do it over messenger, so here is the convo. I'm still shocked, and finally realizing that he really does love me.
Donnie: so I never did tell you about that ring and what led up to it
Me: no you didn't lol
Donnie: Well here is the deal. I was going to ask you to marry me. I talked to Jelly, and your mom. your mom thought it was a great Idea and without hesitation Jelly flat out said no
Me: omg are you serious? did jelly tell you why?
Donnie: I told jelly that I would not do it because she was not ready, she had a look of horror on her face and I could tell she was very uncomfortable with the idea
Me: wow, i think i know why
Donnie: Because the other guy asked you I think is what she said
Me: and it's not because of you. she's the one that said we'd be married in 5 years. yeah, on Christmas day. that would be something hard for her to handle i think. i know she loves you with all her little heart, and doesn't want you to go anywhere
Donnie: But I told her that she could not change her mind and it might be another year before I could or would do it. so her answer was final and if tomorrow she said it would be ok, I was not going to just do it cause she was ready
Me: understandably. i know and ty
Donnie: I was ready and now I need to get ready again
Me: yeah
Donnie: so the ring was kind of a well I thought about it and I wanted to but now you have to wait
Last night, when we were home, he talked a little more about it. He said my mom said it was the best idea he'd ever had and what took him so long, but Jelly went white like she had seen a ghost and was emphatic about no. He and Jelly were in the car and he called my mom and basically asked both of them at the same time. My mom was like what do you mean no when she talked to Jelly and she just didn't want to talk about it. The ass that molested her had proposed to me on Christmas day.
She's been through counseling and is ok with everything, as ok as she can be, but I think it just brought back so many bad memories for her. She loves Donnie to death, trust me.
So, when Donnie and Jelly are ready, I guess I'll be getting engaged LOL
Hell, he was even trying to convince her in the jewelry store! He said he told her, I can spend this much on this and this much on this or for this much more, I can get this. She said no, again.
He explained to the lady there that he came in with the intention of buying an engagement ring but the boss (Jelly) said no. He said the lady nearly lost it she was laughing so hard. I'm not even upset, I am so thankful that Donnie was man enough to respect my daughter's wishes. That's more than I can say for most men I've known.
