Disappointed by timing of marriage proposal

misc2013 · 2017-01-07 12:33:52

I got engaged over Xmas but I'm a bit disappointed with the timing. We'd always planned to marry but I thought we were agreed that completing our family came first. Background - we have one child and are currently going tho treatment in trying for no 2 which is taking alot longer than expected. I started meds a month back…

I don't get what the big secrecy is about.
Just tell people you're trying for a baby at the moment, so can't drink& don't have time to think about wedding plans. Problem solved.

Have you done this while facing into fertility treatment?

Because while I didn't tell people my business, a family member did and it caused me no end of embarrassment with stupid novena's and medals being shoved into my hands at a family party, getting texts when anything remotely connected with babies or fertility came on telly, being pestered that a raw food diet would cure the endometriosis I didn't have. Being given unsolicited advice left right and centre on my sex life. Being asked every other week if I'd any news.

Problem solved indeed.
