Please help! I have found out accidently from my boyfriends cousin that he is going to propose to me on christmas. Do I tell him? Do I just leave it alone, what do I do??????
I am not going to let him know that I know. Thank you for all of the advice!
I would agree not to tell him and if you can, try and not think about it... yes, easier said than done. He may decide to do it before or do it after (and if it doesn't happen on xmas... don't be sad). It sounds like it will happen, just a matter of when. Congrats.
DON'T TELL HIM!!!!!
My now hubby carried the ring around for 4 months in his pocket waiting for the right moment thinking I could not tell what the big box in his pocket was!! It is so worth the wait.
Keep it to yourself!!! My mom accidently told me when my husband (boyfriend at the time) was going to purpose to me. She let it slip xmas eve the same night he was going to purpose. I have never told him and 6 yrs later he still tells people how excited he was to get on his knee and surprise me. He has no clue I knew - and I know it would crush him to this day if he were to find out. Just make sure your cousin keeps this secret too. Good luck and congrats!
Just keep it your little secret. I'm sure that you'd hate to take the wind out of his sails on something this important. Good luck to you.

Leave it alone! Don't ruin his surprise. Congrats!
ENJOY these next few weeks!!! In fact, maybe what you could do is diarize the days leading up to the moment he asks you. Remark on his changed behaviors, "white" lies, and your anticipation (you can share this with him later -- maybe your first anniversary (which is "paper)). Then, be sure to wear something you look amazing in on the occasion, have lots of film -- so you can capture the moment! You know he is going to be nervous as he is also anticipating the big day -- so be thoughtful of how much thought, love and effort went into this proposal! No matter if you know or not, you will be warmed over when he proposes!
I am really excited for you and your soon-to-be fiancee!
Say NOTHING! Let it be the surprise he intends it to be (I'm assuming you WANT to marry him). If the cousin spills the beans play stupid, say something like "I thought he was just kidding; I didn't really believe him."
Definitely don't tell him. And maybe... just maybe you're wrong, too. I was SURE my boyfriend was going to propose when we were on a trip to Canada several years ago. But he actually asked me about 3 weeks before we left! (We've been happily married for 4 years now). Either way, let him make it special for you and never let him know that you're not surprised :)
Congratulations... Don't tell him you know, and never let him know you knew. Try to act as surprised as possible. I let it slip that I knew there was a surprise party for me, and it crushed everyone who was in on the planning. I should have kept my mouth shut. Good luck and enjoy it all, if that is what you want.
When I was dating my now-husband, his sister made some comment to me that any normal person would have taken as an imminent proposal. I kept my mouth shut. Good thing, because she was just being a, well, you know - the B word. It didn't happen when she said it would. It was 3 months later.
Are you 100% certain that he is going to do it? Is his cousin being completely honest with you?
Proposing to your future wife is something that (hopefully) only happens once in a lifetime and is usually a surprise. Do you really want to steal that from him?
It's hard to do, but lay low.
dont let on that you know about it. just act like you dont know anything and then when he does ask you,just be totally surprised. i wish my husband had proposed to me like that. you are so lucky
He is trying to be romantic and thinking of you. I say don't tell him you know and enjoy the moment when it happens. Good luck!!
DON'T SAY ANYTHING. He cares enough to do this as something special. Let him do it. Don't let him know you already knew. It might hurt his feelings or make him mad. Have fun!
Why would you want to ruin his surprise? I wouldn't tell.
Don't say anything. :) I know it's bad to keep secrets, but in this case this secret can wait to be told. After you say yes or no, then you can tell him that his butthead of a cousin told you before hand. Good luck.
EXCITING!!! I'd keep my mouth shut! :) Don't want to spoil it for him and in case it's not completely accurate news. :)
Well first, congrats in advance. I would not tell him though. I would not want to ruin the surprise or the fun for him. I found out my kids and MIL were having a surprise party for me last year on my birthday which was Dec. 3rd and I did not let anyone know at all. NOBODY! It was so sweet too, because it was my middle daughters idea and she is 9, but was 8 at the time. And my oldest daughter helped too. I would just let it be and not tell him. How exciting though. I wonder where/when/how he is going to do it. You will have to share those details when they happen. I know it is going to be so hard to keep a straight face and "play dumb", but I really think it will be so worth it.
