Big news from the Royals yesterday as Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their 
engagement to the world.
The British press has been calling the future queen Waity Katie as speculation was circulating wildly with attempts to predict the engagement.
So at last it is here. Kate is sporting Princess Diana’s engagement ring and comparisons between these two lovely women are inevitable. Personally, I wish them the best of luck. The Prince and his Lady seem mature beyond their years and one hopes they can endure the public scrutiny.
I wonder about the 8 years of dating….would you wait that long for a ring? I must say, most of the time I advise women to move on if no engagement happens after 2 years. Of course, the lure of being the Queen of England one day would definitely keep most in the game.
How do you tell, though? How do you know if you should stay or go? Here are some thoughts.
The one element that is missing in nearly all of the women I speak to is CLARITY. I can’t tell you how many times the phone goes silent when I ask, “What does your ideal relationship look like?”
“I really don’t care if I get married or not. If he wants to, I am ok with that but if he doesn’t, that is ok too.”
What? Why do women do this? Is it to protect themselves from being hurt or disappointed? I am sure there is something to this. I often encourage singles to let themselves want what they really, really want.
If you have been in a long term relationship, hoping for a ring on your finger and seeing nothing but air on your left hand, you have to let yourself get serious about what you really want.
Do you need an ultimatum? Yes, but not the way you think. HE doesn’t need the ultimatum….YOU do. Put your own feet to the fire and YOU decide. Pick a future date. If no marriage is happening by this date, pack your bag. Be true to yourself and do what you need to do to CLARIFY your VISION.
Perhaps Prince William and Kate’s story inspire you. It is a romantic happily ever after that the Saboteur within you ADORES. However, time’s a wastin’ and if you want to have your own engagement to celebrate, be ready to move on. Create an exit strategy for yourself and set your heart on exactly the romantic life you want to manifest. It really is up to you!
