Hello everyone, this is my first post on WW and I hope I can chat with some people that may have been in a similar situation. I really need an outside perspective on my situation.
Here it is: My FI (hope I get all the abbreviations right!) and I have been dating for about 5 years. Within a year, I knew he was the one I wanted to marry, but we started seriously talking about marriage only about 1 year ago. We are both quite shy and were reluctant to make the leap and announce our intentions to everyone. Every time we were about to, it seemed like another family member announced their engagement (his sister, a close friend of ours, and 3 of my cousins!) and we continued to put it off. Finally, about December, we agreed. After his sister got married (the wedding was last weekend), we would finally make it official.
Then, between Christmas and New years this winter, my dad told me his doctors had given him 1 year to live and could no longer treat his cancer. (cont..)
