on 6/23/2009 My man and I have been together for 3 yrs. now; he's 27 and I'm 39; we've talked about marriage and have even picked out the rings, but he hasn't actually asked yet. We have 3 different financial things we want to take care of 1st. However, he does know that I don't plan to wait a whole lot longer; now, I didn't give him an ultimatum, because that's not fair; a woman can only decide how long she's willing to wait - she can put a time limit on herself, but not on anyone else - and I won't tell him what my time limit is, because then that's putting one on him too. However, just like your woman, I know the proposal is coming, therefore, I am just being patient and letting him do this at his own pace and since she apparently knows one is coming too, then she should just be patient, as well; do you really want to marry somebody who throws such childish temper tantrums if they don'...

on 6/11/2009 Dear aarondru77 - how old are the 2 of you? If you (or she) is under 30, WAIT. Hate to say it, but she sounds immature. She should give you time time to be romantic and do it on your schedule. That said, if you've dated exclusively for >2 years and you have yet to pop said question, and you're over 30, she has every right to offer an ultimatum. Rock or walk. But pressuring you? Come on now.

on 4/4/2009 And my arguement is that isn't the guy supposed to go get the ring and sneek slash surprise her with a proposal and ring at once because this isn't heading in that direction because she knows everything.And with the change of time women asking men I don't know what to think or who to turn to for addvice either or a manual only movies and books I've read.So am I wrong or is she , or does she need to relax or does she. Or do I need to and shes right and just go get her ring and give it to her, or she mine as well come with me and put it right on and that be it and no proposal or romance. please only respond if serious, need advice from al perspectives and ages please forgive my spelling am grammer please help! Thank you this is continued the first one cut me off

on 4/4/2009 MY names Aaron and my girlfriends been pressuring me to go pick the ring and now shes set on it and now she wants it. Like everyday stress and mentions it in till its so exhausted we get into a fight over it and then argue to no end. And I feel that she robbing herself of a romantic sweet surprise proposal cause thats way out the window now. Shes got this thing all planed out and the way she wants it and all, all layed out before her. And again the pressure and she won't give it a rest to where I'm ready to go get the ring and just be like here were broke but theres your ring put it on. And shes told friends that we already have plans and now were realy under pressure plus her friends are getting married plus her wanting to be proposed to before certain ones. And my arguement is that isn't the guy supposed to go get the ring and sneek slash surprise her with a proposal and ring at once b
