Lavaliering....???AAACCKK!
Okay, sort of a dilemma... my boyfriend is in a fraternity. He is wonderful and I love him. We both graduate next spring and he wants to lavaliere me basically because he can't afford an engagement ring. There is a curse that comes with lavalieres, I SWEAR IT!! Three of my sisters have been lavaliered in the past year and only one is still with him!!! The other two guys just took off.. it is really annoying! My boyfriend doesn't understand why I am mixed about this! Yes I am stoked that he loves me that much, to give me his letters, that means a lot! But a lot of guys give out letters "Just to do it before I graduate" or whatever.. to get sex out of a waiting woman or whatever, I have seen it all...
The other thing, I told him I would be honored if he did it and that I would wear it proudly with my lavaliere. It really made him mad!!! He was like "You either wear it alone or not at all" Which doesn't make sense to me. I joined my sorority and my letters mean everything to me.. He keeps saying that I have worn them for three years, the excitement of having new letters should be worn off by now but everytime I take of my lavaliere (like if I go out to a bar or something) I think about what those letters mean to me. I wear my lavaliere 24-7 To sleep, to shower, whatever, I always have it on. It means a lot to me, as much as the crucifix I wear reminding me to be a Christian..
What is a good compromise? I mean I know I am not giving up my letters to wear his, but why should I take mine off? I don't want to!!!
HELP!!! I love my boyfriend and would be more than honored, but at the same time, I don't want us to break up and him regret it.
