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 wouldn't want to be in a relationship for more than two years before getting engaged, at this point. I don't want to live with a man before marriage at all.
I've been with the same person for several years. I want to be married. Obviously, he doesn't. If he wanted to marry me, what is the purpose of waiting? It is just another time when actions speak louder than words.
Yea...I can't understand why get married for a "little peice of sausage" when you can have the whole pig. LOL
I said I'd never marry again as well. But, someone found me that compelled me to feel differently. I don't think I'd have a time limit on a "ring" as long as we loved each other, honest and committed relationship...The time frame wouldn't matter, as long as it was understood that someday we would get married...and we had that, and it was he that wanted us to get married...so we did.
But it's true, if I'm getting all those benefits, why would I get married?
The only reason I would is because you(the Girl) put some type of pressure on me and I loved you so much that I didn't want to risk losing you so I bite the bullet
That's happens ALOT in relationships.
Guys wouldn't get married if they could just "play house" with their girlfriend
It may be true for you. What are all the benefits your getting? If you get married under those circumstances chances are good you will lose her anyway it might just take a little longer. Honestly I dont know of any of my married friends where the marriage was a result of an ultimatum.
Many guys WANT to get married. They want the same things women do.
I think the difference between the real-life men I know and the men on these forums is that the ones I know don't see their partners as sexless, money-leeching, future alimony checks.

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)
I think it depends on the woman's age. A 35+ year old woman, for example, does NOT have two years to waste on a man who is actively or passive-aggressively resisting the idea of their marrying. If I'm with a guy and we have discovered we are in love and compatible, then a decent guy would make a move after about 12-14 months.
