Confessions: An engagement ring debacle

Loading player...
An anonymous listener shared the following confession with Stacey and J Sbu:

"I accidentally found out that my partner of nine years bought an engagement ring. I really don’t want to tell him that I know, because it will obviously ruin the surprise. I am nervous about our future (not in a bad way), but now that I know it’s happening soon, I feel like I’m losing my mind. Should I be open and tell him that I know or should I just suck it up and carry the secret and let it consume my entire being?"

The Drive Team duo then asked you, the people of KZN, to weigh in on the confusing matter.

Here's what you had to say.
