Should I be worried about his reaction to our conversation about how he would feel if we broke up? And is he about to propose?

Question - (8 November 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 8 November 2011)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Coming up to our three year anniversary... We are pretty close. The other day he said I'm the best thing that ever happened to him. Last night, we were talking about random things and I asked him the question of whether he'd be upset if I broke-up with him, would he be upset? He answered by saying that "of course" he would be, but he wouldn't show the type of emotion like you'd expect. He said that he'd most likely hide the emotion. In short, he didn't admit he'd cry but he'd be upset? I just wanted your thoughts. Is this something to be suss about? Any possible explanation would be appreciated.

Secondly, trying to suss out whether my partner is going to propose. Our anniversary falls next Tuesday, we're coming home from holiday the day before. He said he miscalculated his dates, and is happy to give me "my present" the day before. He is insistent on the present being given to me the day before (on the plane), and said that he went to a lot of effort. He said he had to consult somebody to see if he is "on the right" track, and he said that it's not an extravagant present he's giving me but the main thing is we will be spending the time together. I asked him whether we could delay the present giving until the actual day, but he said he arranged it to happen on the plane, and that's where he wants to give me my present. We've been talking about it lately, but he's always been like its not going to happen anytime soon.

Any thoughts?

Sorry I forgot to address the first part of your question. I wouldn't stress over his answer at all. Some men don't show that kind of emotion infront of anyone. Depends what kind of guy he is. I have broken up with my fiance twice in the beginning of our relationship and he didn't cry at all infront of me. But he surely did when he was alone. It's a long story, but we'll leave it that I know he did. So I wouldn't read too much into it especially after he told you, you are the best thing that ever happened to him. I have never been told that in my life (40) and I would love to hear those words. I personally wouldn't be worried about it. That's just my opinion.

Ummm...I think the little hints given may be just that. But then he said it wasn't a huge gift. That could be a mind game. Not negatively, I mean in size reference. A ring is a rather huge gift but small in size. Right?..lol. Are you ready for it? Have you told him you are ready to take that step? I hope if this is what you want, that he does propose. On a plane infront of everyone there, wow, that's pretty romantic, lucky girl! Wish I was a bystander. Good luck and please, let us know if it was infact a proposal. We want details girl!..;D Have a great trip!
