If I was engaged we would to get married by the two year mark but if there is a financial problem or a pandemic like we are in now I can see why it take longer to get married but 7 years is a bit long to be engaged.
If he does not ask you to marry by 3 years then he has issues. Or he is still hoping someone better will come along.
If you’re 18 right out of high school, 3-5 years is fine. Once you’re out of college, 1-3 years.
I waited 13 years. Me and my wife were teenagers when we got together. We weren’t ready to be married until we got older. We’ve been together 16 years, but got married back in 2018.
If he or she decides to drag things out more than a year to get married then end the relationship.
They are wasting your time if your goal is to get married because it's obviously marriage isn't a priority for them.
i proposed to mine about 2 years into it and never got a yes or a no and i asked multiple times and each time i'm always left hanging without an answer
Wow... did you guys talked about it?
They won't bring it up or mention it and when I try to it gets ignored
Wow that's weird... hopefully one day you find the one who would be thrilled to get married to you!
I don't want to be with anybody else other than the one I'm with now the one who won't give me an answer
Leave her man. No women worth the effort will play such games and no woman that really wants you will leave you open and free.
There is no “too long”. Everyone is different. Do not compare yourself to others timelines.
we can talk about a posible proposal afther 2 yares and i think is to much afther 5yares not to propose her.
I would consider ten years of exclusive relationship to be too long, and anything under three too short. If you really want marriage to last you have to know what your getting into.
I don’t know. But I am not dating anyone. If I was dating, I wouldn’t expect her to propose, but it would be cool if she does. I think women should definitely propose if they figured they want to spend their whole life with their boyfriend.
Yes... That is a Google idea
7+ years? Too long already, especially If you’re in your late 20’s and plan on having kids.
I did it in 2. But got married in 4.. sorta. I didn't stick around for the city hall because she was batshit nuts and her grandmother was a bitch
Marriage seems like more of a responsibility than a loving binding.
Though if she truly wants it, then I guess I'll oblige.
Never do ANYTHING that you do not fully believe is a good idea because as a man you will always be held 100% accountable for your choices, regardless of who influenced you to make them. Women get the luxury of saying it's somebody else's fault when they make mistakes and society just pats them on the back and says, "poor baby". So think real hard before you do anything you might regret, whatever the topic is.
@hahahmm
will the victim playing and woman bashing ever stop?
@markayd Don't know, all I do know is that this argument which is about to occur is something I need some popcorn to watch.
sounds like you need a job.
@markayd Probably
But watching random fights on the internet is more fun
@Jayplays900
because you don't have a life
@markayd Mhm, yup
You wanna keep wasting ya time?
@Jayplays900
you have too much time on your hands so you need to waste some of your time
@markayd Naw, I'm just casually wasting your time. Cause I'm so "DEvIOuS"!
@markayd It's a fact that men have lost their jobs over what their wives did/said in public. That doesn't happen to women. It's a fact that if a man and women agree 50/50 to do some crime that when they get caught the man will get all or most of the punishment. It's a fact that if a couple are out in public and the guy's woman runs her mouth too much to another man, then her boyfriend will be the target of attacks, not her. Happens all the time. I could go on and on. This is reality. Men who are responsible types aren't looking to "play victim". They accept being responsible. They have to also avoid getting with classless, bottom feeder type women who love to create drama and do everything in life based on momentary feelings.
@markayd Be sure to look up responsibility in the dictionary sometime. I'm sure you'll learn something.
@Jayplays900
You’re not wasting my time at all. Because I’m having a lot of fun talking to you.
@hahahmm
If you had a lot of responsibility, you wouldn’t be on here.
I’d say once you hit a year you should know if you want to get married or not
I personally don’t have a timeframe of how long it should take to become engage but that’s just me
In my opinion 8 months to 1 year and half is enough
I've been engaged for three years and I'm about to leave since there's not attempt to marry me
Just because he hasn’t married you yet you’re going to throw all that time and energy in the relationship away? At least you’re engaged
We've been together for seven years every attempt to plan a wedding even a courthouse wedding gets ignored
Do you know why though? Have you talked about it? Don’t manipulate by saying if we don’t get married we’re breaking up
No I think after trying to talk about it multiple times, varying ways. He says he doesn't want to be in front of people but that isn't the case if it was just a courthouse. He proposed so he wouldn't lose me after breaking up with me. For a few months. It was a love bomb attempt and now he never attempts any positivity, romAnce, nothing
Once you guys feel like safe and loved with each other.
I mean, for most guys marriage is not worthwhile now so it's not surprising really.
Everybody is different. Each person has to feel they are ready for the commitment
