I think I was the only man in A2's relationship life that ever treated her entirely well. For instance, I came across a very nice microwave oven last month. Much nicer than hers, at a garage sale. Paid $5 for it and insisted she take it in trade for a small, crappy one she had (which I took to my office).
She still comments about how no one ever treated her so nicely as I have.
A relatively inexpensive and innocuous birthday gift had a lot of meaning for her. I think perhaps no one has given her much jewelry in the past, unless it was related to "playing" her or getting a bit more serious.....
I paid maybe $25 for a semi-precious stone birthstone necklace. Just a small ruby set in silverplate. I picked it up at a craft show and thought it would be a nice, inexpensive gift.... which I gave her on her birthday.....

Well, she surprised the absolute hell out of me when one of the things she told me was that she almost told me at the time that she loved me and if that jewelry was intended to be "marital jewelry, the answer is 'yes'."
That just about blew me away.... Here I've been moving toward less involvement, disengaging and detaching.... and she was suddenly surprisingly ready to "jump the broom".
What in the world do you do with THAT kind of information??!! Going from not even being able to hear the word "love" in a sentence without reacting violently against it, never hinting at the full feeling being there.... to declaring love, over and over and as much as saying she was ready to marry!!
I can only shake my head almost in disbelief.... Wow.
