Revelation (and I mean that sarcastically)
I'm in a dead-end relationship.
The other day, my boyfriend - out of spite - proposed to me via AIM. We were talking about some things, and he said, "Maybe we should cool things down a little bit."
And I said, "That's not a bad idea. We need to re-evaluate our relationship. (blah blah blah)"
And he goes "I don't think we should spend so much time together."
And I was kind of confused, because up to this point, I've been under the assumption that we're sort of headed for the altar at some point.
So I told him I was confused.
And he got really mad. He said "I'm only doing this for you, you know. (yadda yadda) I even got you an engagement ring for your birthday" (which is a month away, thanks for spoiling it for me).
And I was like "Whoa whoa whoa," and I totally panicked. I felt like a trapped animal.
Then it comes out that it's not even an engagement ring - it's a ring of "intent." Which means that he intends to intend to marry me at some point in the future.
Fuck that shit. I'm happy with the way that things are sans fake pre-engagement - but if you're going to toy with me and my future like this, don't expect me to just take what's handed to me.
