\"What<\/p>\n

You\u2019re engaged! An Exciting time in anyone\u2019s life of course. While you may be thrilled, there are always some party poopers out there who immediately think the worst! Here is what they may actually be thinking about your engagement, and how to handle it.<\/p>\n

Maybe She\u2019s Pregnant!<\/h2>\n

You definitely cannot stop people from thinking this one! And if this is what they think first when you announce your news, there isn\u2019t much you can do (other than wave a pregnancy test in front of them!). You could make a \u201cwe\u2019re not pregnant\u201d joke, but why even entertain it. Maybe have the a family member of your side bring a shotgun, just to be subtle about it! The best thing to do with these comments is just ignore it.<\/p>\n

Wouldn\u2019t Like That Ring Myself Now\u2026<\/h2>\n

\u2018Well it\u2019s a good thing it\u2019s not on your finger then!\u2019 is what you would probably want to say if you heard someone say that. For some reason, when it comes to weddings or engagements \u2013 people love to weigh in with their own opinion. Usually most people don\u2019t say this to your face (even if they think it) but if they hesitate, just reassure them that they have no need to worry. You love the ring and that is what matters most.<\/p>\n

Why Am I Still Single?<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s not easy to watch your friend reach a relationship milestone if you\u2019re still waiting for love to come. But, a friend\u2019s happiness is no excuse to bring attention to yourself (especially if it\u2019s negative). If your friend is complaining about his\/her love life, there is no need to apologise. Simply say you \u201chope they can be happy for you\u201d and when it\u2019s there turn, you will be very happy for them. They should get the message that their reaction wasn\u2019t appropriate from there.<\/p>\n

On a final note, remember that you can\u2019t change what someone thinks of you or feels about your engagement. While nothing you can do can control their thoughts, you can decide on how much it will affect you. If you and your S.O. are happy; does it really matter what they think?<\/p>\n
