Oh, I agree, sometimes it can happen very quickly!

But our OP is saying she was under the impression ALL men know within weeks that they want to marry the one they end up marrying. This is just not true.

I believe it's true too. Most just don't say it until later because they know it's too soon to say to her. The ones who don't know, will never marry her.

I'm pretty sure the OP had a point, beyond what she was posting about. It comes in dribs and drabs, more "shocking" statements to keep everything going.

What's interesting here is that our OP believes this, yet she still has no ring on her finger.

Why would she have dated this guy for 2.5 years and moved in with him when he has not done anything to advance the idea of marriage? After all, according to her logic he should have known over 2 years ago whether or not he wanted to marry her.

I don't know. I already said to her that he's not going to marry her if he hasn't yet. I've seen women be stuck in this delusion for 10+ years.

I have to say I agree with him. I wouldn't be planning to marry someone who couldn't even decide if they were staying with me or not.
