I think I might still be waiting a while, but at least I know it is def in the pipe line now!!

P.s. I seem to be spending most of my day trying to work out what his plan is and why he has to wait for it to be just perfect!! Any ideas? I don't really want to find out but it will be fun

Hello ladies!!

well what can I say I have got some fantastic news for you all...I am now officially engaged!! :j

My lovely OH asked me to marry him on my birthday and it was lovely, after all of my moaning on here i feel really bad!! He was very sweet (he even got down one knee) and once he had asked me he said I hadnt pressured him that he loved me loads and he has promised my mum and dad he will take care of me!!

He asked my mum and dad before he asked me and they said they were honoured that he actually asked them first - which is lovely.

Anyway I will stop going on - I supposed I will no longer be allowed to visit this thread anymore - but thank you all for your support and help. I hope everyone is ok and well and I will keep my fingers crossed for all you other ladies xx

Congratulations DaisyMay!!

There is nothing to stop you from being on this thread - others who have become engaged since it started remain here - they are known as the 'graduates' and give the rest of us who are still waiting some hope!

If he really is your very best friend then you shouldn't push him into it just because it's what you want. You need to respect that this isn't the right time for him; it doesn't mean he loves you any less. I've been happily living with my OH for 12 years, he proposed on our 12th anniversary, we marry on our 13th. It will happen if it's meant to be, I don't understand what the rush is. Getting married doesn't change how you feel, it just celebrates what you already have! Good luck!

You can only really claim that for yourself though. For us, after 9 years together, getting married last year has proved completely different to living together. We were already happy, but marriage has given us so much more. I've seen my DH blossom. Wouldn't be true for everyone of course but certainly has been for us.
Marriage also does good things like making you legal next of kin etc, so I do think there is some element of rush after 4-5 years especially if you are over 30 if you plan to always be together.
