My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years, we’re young, only 19, and in college 2 hours apart.

We have been in love with each other since Freshman year of high school.

But didn’t get together until Junior year of high school

We’ve both recently started school in different parts of the state and I’ve been feeling the repercussions on top of my depression. Being apart and worried he will find someone better has been causing ALOT of anxiety. He gave me a promise ring for my birthday, which I wore on my right, ring finger so people wouldn’t get the wrong idea that I was engaged so young. Just definitely committed. (Sorry my hand is so ugly)

But the other night, we finally talked about what was bothering me so much. About our distance, worried he’ll find a prettier girl, etc. and I’m sobbing, sitting in his lap, and he’s trying to make me feel better.

Ladies... he takes my ring off and I lose it because I’m convinced he’s about to break up with me... he grabs my left hand, puts it on my ring finger and tells me “I planned on waiting until we were older, and definitely with a bigger diamond, but will you marry me? I’m tired of waiting around when I know what I want” AND YALL I STARTED UGLY CRYING! He told me that he plans to upgrade it and ask again for photographs and such when it’s more acceptable to our families to announce our engagement, (they’ve openly said that we need to wait till we’re almost done w our degrees) but I’m actually getting to marry the man of my dreams and I can’t wait ❤️😭

I can’t tell anyone else, and I can’t keep it a secret, so I’m posting it on here!
