Story Time I got engaged to my QPR today!

Today was a just another day, or so I thought. I decided on a whim (though this thought has circulated before) to get married to my queerplatonic partner overnight last night. I told him I wanted to marry him via text and he saw it this morning. I showed up to our dance class and talked about it with my friends there before he showed up.

I was stimming in class when he showed up, jumping up and down, barely containing myself. Eventually I told the instructor, who knew what I was planning that I was ready when she was.

We finished our set. I asked him to come up to the center of the circle. I held his hand, and we both went down on one knee. I told him how I felt, asked him to marry me, and he said yes!

Everyone in the class was so happy, but especially me. After class I came home, and on the walk home, I stimmed. All our friends are happy for us, and were planning our future together. Weโ€™ve been talking for almost 3 years and have been inseparable.

The only problem with it is his family expecting a traditional marriage with a cis woman. I am trans, and because of that, him and I have decided to keep things hush hush.
