    Oh my days...I've just found my perfect wedding dress! Looked on a link from another part of the board and saw the most amazing dress.

    Awww, it's so pretty and I want it but guess I need an engagement ring first :rotfl:

    Maybe you should just buy it anyway, then he may get the hint! :rotfl:

    I read an article in the sun about a couple of girls who didn't even have boyfriends but had already bought their wedding dress! I find that a little odd! It did say in my stars yesterday that it was the perfect day for a marriage proposal...I mentioned it to OH but he declined to comment :rotfl:, bloody bloke!

    Pffftt, me? Propose? NEVER!

    I would love a romantic proposal but I think in all likelihood it will be at some random time like when I am doing the washing up...that's assuming he does propose of course.....he bloody better :rotfl:

    At least your OH wants to get married Jody. Have been with mine for almost ten years and he is dead against it!

    I did wonder about you Woo but didn't want to ask :o.

    I have, in my head, a deadline by which I want OH to propose by, if he hasn't by then we will have to have a very serious talk about our future. If he then said he didn't want to get married I think I would leave him. I know that might sound a little OTT but it's important to me and as he has said many times that he does want to marry me I would find it too much if he just changed his mind!

    I am starting to feel very resentful towards my OH if I'm honest.

    I meet him when I was 20 and he was 28. He said from day one he didn't want kids and had the snip last Nov, I can live with this as I have never been maternal.

    I always wanted to get married though and to buy a house together. Unfortunately he brought a house just after we got together so it was to soon for me to go in with him, this means I am a lodger that pays him rent.

    He refuses to get married and Im left with no commitment what so ever.

    I could literally pack my bags tonight and never have to speak to him again, which after almost ten years together is quite sad!

    Friends tell me to look at it another way, in that at least we are together because we want to be.

    But I am starting to feel like I have given up my twenties for what in return?
