Very simple, how long would you Be in a relationship with a man before you start to get anxious of him not proposing(married women can chime in also)

Does it matter? Would you stay with a man for 10+ years and be ok just essentially "Playing house"?

I ask because I've seen this scenario a lot of times where the women is in a happy relationship for years then start to get nervous that he'll never propose, often giving him an ultimatum

It happened to a friend of mine who ended up proposing to his GF at 26(wasn't really ready, But he didn't really want to lose her so he bit the bullet)

3 years max. If he's not marrying you by then, then he's not marrying you.

For the rest of my life. I can see no compelling reason to get married again.

I dont want a ring and dont want to marry again. My last marriage I waited about 7 years before I said something. He moved in with me then we bought a house together and I figured we might as well be married. And my job didnt offer health insurance and his did.
I can see how a younger woman who wanted a family would not waste too much time in a relationship if it were not leading to what she wanted (or vice versa).

My BF better not propose. Yeesh. Been there done that. Neither of us plan to ever marry, or live together for that matter. We are perfectly fine as we are.

I'm seeing a lot of posts from women who have already been married before. What about women in their 20's who have never been married. Would they still be willing to play house?
