How long did you date your s/o till you realized you wanted to get married...

[Cuda1447]

Also, how long do you think is to long to be dating without thinking about getting married/actually getting married.

Also, whose going to win the world cup?

One of my friends knew he wanted to get married within like 2 months.

I don't think there is any limit on the ammount of time you can go before it's 'too long,' aside from the night after a few years that the woman corners you while you both have had a few drinks and wants to talk... After that it's sh1t or get off the pot.

I figured if my original thread didn't get any interest maybe the second portion of it what spark more interest thus more views/posts/bumps and then it would be a very pleseant cycle of two threads in one and many responses. Although I may have miscalculated based on the responses so far...

I don't think there is any set standard for when you want to get married. I have known for a long time (months into the relationship). But tonight I am blinded by anger and sadness, so I am not thinking about long term at the moment.

 

[Cuda1447]

Crap, I killed my own thread before it began!

I think if you don't know within 6 months, that's a good sign you might want to look elsewhere. Assuming you're of appropriate age for marriage. That being... out of college.

If you know within weeks, you may be too desperate to get married.

The b/f fell in love with me on hour 2, date 1... and realized that I was the lifelong one for him.

We have been together for almost 7yrs years, we have lived together for 6yrs.

he asks every day to marry me.

 

[ultimatebob]

For my sister, it was about six months. I have a hunch that her fiance knew a few months before that, though.

I'm an American, though, so I have a God given right to care less about the world cup

:shocked:
For the love of god, I hope you've given him a timeframe that he can expect a yes from someday. A guy can only take so many 'no's before he was a broken man.

Hahaha... we LIVE together!!!! We own a home together!!! We have old fashioned roles in this relationship. We raise nine cats together.... we do joint EVERYTHING!!!

I love him, I respect him. I care for him, I care about him and I take care of him. I treat him as a man deserves to be treated.

Is that not married enough?

If you were a man, I'd say yes. But as the woman, you have no risks and nothing to lose except your last name (and in this day and age, even thats negotiable), so NO.

Move to a state with common law marriage and it will be.

Unless you've got a common-law marriage clause in your state laws... nope.
Why keep saying no if you live together, act as a married couple, love each other, etc... Just go to vegas and get a $30 drive through elvis wedding and make it official. Why keep holding it over his head?

 

[MOCKBA1]

I did proposal after a week, but was ready to marry just only as saw her. I know, I know it was easy for me since my wife ex miss universe.

I guess you just don't love and respect him enough to make it official. I don't get it, you're already playing the role, why not just make it official. It seems a lot less trashy to most people that way, no offense.

Eff that, I don't even have to date them... 3 random supermodels show up to my house every night at 8:00. The loss of the Concord hit them a bit, but I told them to STFU and get here anyways.

Who says I am holding anything over his head?

When we met... I told him, upfront and point blank... that I was not looking for a serious relationship. I wanted someone to hang with occasionally, go to dinner with occasionally, fool around with occasionally and just wanted to keep it light.

He was fine with it, even though he was in love with me. He was patient, because he said that God told him that I was the one he was supposed to be waiting for all those years. He was solid, strong, dependable, faithful, honest and always there when i needed him.

He has won my trust, my loyalty, my love and my faithfulness.

but....

1) I have been married before. Am scared to do it again.
2) I don't need a peice of paper from the State of NJ to show what I have pledged to him.

Why complicate things. It is fine where it is now.

If I were a guy... most ppl would understand it. But since I am a female, it seems weird.

I am just not ready.
