bring up proposal timing and talked about vacation proposals, etc.

In my mind, I thought I was just excited and communicating what I wanted.

But I can now see how that excitement probably started feeling like pressure to him.

Okay.

It's very domineering.

Yeah.

So she's really bringing it up.

She's really bringing it up, isn't it?

Yeah.

It's not too much pressure.

Yeah.

So a few nights ago, he came home after talking on the phone with one of his sisters and one of his mates and basically told me that the proposal conversations had been stressing him out and putting strain on the relationship.

He said our timelines weren't aligning and that he didn't want to feel pressured into proposing on my terms, she's put my terms, instead of his own.

I completely broke internally hearing that.

She's got excited.

She's built it up in her head.

She's told her friends, September, I'm going to Sicily.

I'm getting engaged.

She's built it up too much that this feels like utter rejection, like him saying, let me just do it on my own terms.

Yes.
