Search Results: marriage advice

I’m not asking advice , just asking for fun. The way I see it, if both people are relaxed about it see it as a learning experience , and there is legal protection so no one can get screwed financially, I don’t see the harm. Obviously if you’ve been dreaming of a wedding and eternity then this would be very negative. But in itself its essentially like dating but without the ambiguity.

>>>Are we dating or seeing each other or in a casual relationship exclusive or exclusive but casual 🙄🙄🙄

Lolol

I’d rather just elope then get it annulled. That’s more fun and in a way , it’s time consuming.

Whereas for me... I’d never intended marriage so It’s easy for me to look at it differently. I Totally get this idea would be horrific to some. And sorry if I offended anyone. Not my intention at all. Just curious to ask 😊

Oh and obviously with someone you care for and can see marrying.. I wouldn’t do it with a stranger.

Imagine if this were more common it would totally neutralize the hysteria over the “crazy person bc they thought of marriage early on.”.. So what.🤷‍♀️ Get married —then see how you like it. No need to freak out over things you plan on doing anyhow.

Anyhow think it over , let me know what you think. ✨✨✨

A little help needed please.

I’m 32 and my boyfriend is 36. We’ve been together for just under 9 months.

Things have been good, but slow. Didn’t kiss until 6 weeks of being together, and even still, he doesn’t kiss me much. He likes to hold my hand almost all the time. He likes to cuddle a lot too.

haven’t slept together. We’re both Christian, so are trying to put it off. don’t question this - it’s just personally important to me. We’ve both done it previously. And we did have 2 close calls.

He never talks about feelings. And he’s not romantic. He’s generally not the type to do that -very pragmatic.

He’s even told me that he doesn’t know if he loves me yet. However he then clarified that he thinks that you tell someone you love them when you’re at the stage of proposing. So it’s obviously more a choice than a feeling to him. He said that he thinks a relationship needs to be given 1 - 1.5 years before coming to a decision like that.

Despite being difficult, I can live with this.

However, I need to know that he isn’t wasting my time.

I’m wanting to move forward in my life, and I want marriage and kids. I’m turning 33 this year.

I did tell him that I need to see that the relationship is progressing. He told me that he thinks we need to go away together for at least a week to see how we go together, and progress the relationship more.

I asked him when, and he mentioned his work situation, the uncertainty, how busy he is, and that he’d need to save a bit for a holiday, so suggested June/July.

This seems like ages to me, and I’m not sure that I can risk waiting this long if he isn’t sure about me.

I really like him, and don’t want to lose him. However also really value my time. So I need a little more certainty if I’m going to wait that long.

Do I communicate this to him? If so, how?

I don’t want him to feel pressured, but I also don’t want him wasting my time.

Male advice would be really appreciated right now. Especially any rational/pragmatic men.
