Would you propose to you man? [Archive] - Bub Hub Pregnancy & Parenting Forum

I chose other and here is why...

I proposed to my man and he said yes. Seven years later I then proposed divorce :eek: :p

Not saying it was bad or anything (the proposing). In hindsight (which is a wonderful thing and makes everyone an expert) I should have waited for him to ask. I may have then realised that he didn't have the ***** for such things.

I will be asking DP at the end of next year. I set that date a couple of years ago... that was my "I'm not waiting any longer," date.

I figure that gives him... 4.5 years of committed relationship in which he could have asked me. I don't want to wait 10 years before he asks me... so I'm asking him. If he says no... well... I dunno.

But yeah... next year.

I'll buy him a ring and everything... but I'll expect him to return the favour if he says yes! (And I want a lovely old-fashioned art-deco ring too!).

Same here :yes:

DH proposed to me in a really nice restaurant by slipping my ring in to my glass of champagne when I was not looking. So the next time I went to have a drink there was my ring in the bottom of the glass. DH had picked out the ring by himself Valentine

He got down on one keen and ask me to marry him and of course I said yes, and then everyone in the restaurant cheered :smiliedance:

I voted Other because I probably would, even though I don't think I should have to LOL but DP has told me that I had 'better not propose to him' cos that's his job.

I did.

I love him, we have three years together. I want to be with him forever so why Can't I?
Surely my gender cannot be the reason why I shouldn't.

Talk about gender inequality and disparity if so. :)

I waited 16years for a proposal (we had the ring for 2 of them) and I was ready to do the proposing if he didn't... I guess I was patient for about 13yrs...then started to wonder what was wrong with him...:banghead: :laughing:

:thumbsup: I'm all for it! We had been together for 7yrs, on our 7th anniversary I said to him " this year is our year, I am tired of it being about everyone else ( their weddings,Divorces etc) I want us to get engaged, married and start a family! what do you think? will you marry me?"
he made me wait all day and he finally said "Ok"

13-11-2007, 10:39

Absolutely not. I needed for him to know deep in his heart that he was ready for marriage without any pressure from me.

13-11-2007, 10:43

:yes: I would.....and i did Valentine

mumzdaword

Iam thinking about it, I have been with my man for 2 years and we have a 6mth old daughter. He turns 30 next july so i was thinking of taking him away and proposing but at the same time I want the whole romantic proposal Ive never had one. Ive been married before but it was a mutal agreement my divource came through a year ago, he has also been married and has done the whole propsal thing so he is now hesitant. I dont know what to do someone help! Any ideas?Valentine

I wouldn't/couldn't but I dont think it's out of the question for other couples.

moonblossom

14-11-2007, 20:28

GAWD why would I want to do that Its bad enough when they ask you and your silly enough to say YES :laughing:

squiglet

18-11-2007, 07:30

I proposed to my dh:kiss:
I bought him a ring and worked up the couage and asked him to marry me. He said yes and we just celabrated our 3rd aniversary this month.

I don't think there is any problem with the girl asking the big question. No romance is lost, it's just if your going to do the asking you have to organise the romantic side of things for the proposal.........

19-11-2007, 15:05

Am married. He proposed. I would never even have considered proposing. He also picked the ring. I would have hated having to pick my own.

Elmofan

19-11-2007, 15:29

I wanted to but he bet me to it - exactly 13 days before we found out about bub

Kayangel

19-11-2007, 15:32

NO! I wouldnt its the guys job. I would rather not be married then have to pop the question myself.

Tulp

19-11-2007, 15:41

Nope I left it to him. I reckon it's harder for a man to make a commitment to marriage. Once a man knows he's found the woman of his dream and does not want to lose her, he'll propose. I am just old fashioned.

QTB

19-11-2007, 15:47

I couldnt... im too old fashioned!

:D and i didnt get a chance too cos he proposed 2hrs after we met Valentine

TTannyaa

21-11-2007, 12:44

I couldn't either.....I'm too old fashioned.

i did n we are still engaged but planning ongetting married next yrish

Nickyps

21-11-2007, 13:48

If I weren't already married, I'd definately ask DH to marry me.

I think it would be rather sweet and romantic actually... It would definately be memorable and a little bit unique. *sigh*

tootiredtosleep

21-11-2007, 14:24

I don't think that I would, although if I had it would have been more memorable than been proposed to on the couch, in front of the TV. I would have made it a bit better than that.

megaminz

22-11-2007, 14:55

heheheh I totally would but with my husband I kinda got sick of waiting and told him if he didn't propose that weekend I was going to buy a ring and just tell everyone he did anyway!!

He was so caught up with thinking he had to do it perfectly he got perfomance anxiety and was never gonna do it otherwise! So after my ultimatum he proposed two days later with no ring (apart from one a friend made out of the foil from her champagne bottle) no set up nothing and it was perfecT!

Sometimes there comes a pivotal
moment in your relationship and it's
either you make a deeper commitment
or
you move on...

I recently proposed to my DP and it was
romantic and memorable for both of us
for a traditional girl it was a bold move believe me

10-01-2008, 14:25

I actually did one night when we were in Paris..We had both been dropping hints as to both being ready,so after a few and i mean probably one to many drinks i asked him!

But he said NO!!!!:laughing:

And then he asked me the next day on one knee outside the most beautiful church!!:yes:

When i asked him why he told me that i was to tipsy to say yes to and the fact that he had already had it planned!!:laughing:

I'm all for equality between men and women however I still like to be romanced and have certain ideals about men and women and how they are placed within a relationship. Personally I think the man should propose. I don't think less of a women who does it though, let me just make sure that is clear.

10-01-2008, 20:42

Wow, i am stunned by how many people said "No,it's his job" :eek: ( Not bagging anyone out there or anything, i was just really surprised!! ).

I proposed to Stephen, only because he wouldn't pluck up the courage to do it first...i really wish in the end we had had a romantic proposal so i could treasure the memory, but it didn't work out that way.

I'm all for it, if you marry your man go ahead and ask him:D my DH asked me after 3mths of dating so I didnt get a chance to ask:laughing:

kymmy

11-01-2008, 09:02

I think its good to ask the man. Some are too slow!

It was a mutual thing for us but I do believe I brang it up first.
