Engagement Dilemma

[Velocipede]

I agree with the ladies on this one. If someone is going to be unfaithful, they'll find a way.

And as far as not dating F/As...my best advice: Don't date one from YOUR airline. Because if it goes sideways, you not only have to deal with her, you have to deal with her friends.

I had an F/O once who had a messy divorce from one of our F/As. That poor bastige got treated like crap by over half the F/As at the airline because she went out of her way to make sure they all knew what an icehole he was.

He went about 3 years getting crapped on until the collective finally let him off the hook. Of course, he had to change bases to get away from them.

Sad.

NEVER fish off the Company pier!

My two cents here. My husband and I got engaged about 3 monhs after his youger brother and married about 6 weeks before. Everyone in his family thought he was rushing it to beat his brother out. The truth is, we were just meant to be and in love. We wanted to be with each other. Our wedding was overshadowed by their wedding with family members (not as much money for wedding breakfast, tuxes and flowers according to his parents) but it worked, we made it work. We were happy and the wedding was ours, the engagement was ours. We were engaged for almost a month before telling anyone, and we were only engaged 4 months before we got married. We have now been married for 7 years, his brother has been divorced for 4!

As for your relationship, go through with what you have planned. This brother seems like the type that is just trying to beat you out of your spotlight. Realize you don't care about spotlight from other people, each other is what matters. Pick a time that is special and propose, no matter what the brother is doing. He can live his life and you live yours! Don't put your life on hold for someone else, you might get stuck just waiting around forever!
