    Offence taken!

    Out of seven paragraphs, one of them mentioned that I've had chances to run off elsewhere. Because I am not an a**eh*le, I've rejected every single one of those women and stayed loyal to mine. Somehow this was (as you put it): a long rant. Of course I am offended! That one paragraph consisted of four sentences out of thirty which equates to 13.3% of my post. Do you honestly call that a long rant?

    No wonder he hasn't married you! Worse you now admit to showing him my reply to your topic - all about him not wanting to marry you. I did try to make it clear that pressure wasn't a good thing.. you just added even more on to your man! :T

    Oh.. and yes I may be a 'tool' as you put it but I'm the one who is engaged to be married! :p Good luck getting there yourself ;)

    I gave you a mans perspective. I never said you would like it.

    WOW! Your fiancee is the luckiest woman in the world. You have had sooooo many offers from all these horny dames, who are after you to be their betrothed, and you STILL stayed true and faithful to your lucky lucky lady. What a hero! :T

    And you're such a hard done by man who is constantly fights against the world! All these wimmin making you pay for everything while they keep their purses tightly shut and sit on their lazy fat backsides doing nothing, and all the grubby little immigrants taking jobs 'you' could have, and breathing your oxygen!

    :rotfl: Seriously, best laugh I've had all day. FTR, my husband works with a man who claims he has women trying it on with him every single time he goes out, sometimes actually asking him for sex (just coming up to him in Morrisons or in the queue in the post office,) and rubbing against him provocatively. Yet not one single person has ever witnessed this happening, and he looks like a cross between Danny DeVito and Shrek apparently.

    You're not him are you?

    BTW, nice rubbing it in about the OP not being asked to be married!
    Proud to have lost over 3 stone (45 pounds,) in the past year! :j Now a size 14!


    You're not singing anymore........ You're not singing any-more! :D

    Oh dear some people really can't read behind the lines. Didn't think it was that difficult in this instance but I supposed more fun to pick on someone who only meant well by posting here.

    There is me trying to help you feel a bit more secure and reassure you that a man stalling marriage does not mean he's on the prowl for another woman, having an affair and may have issues etc and you claim I went off into a long rant? Seriously? No wonder he hasn't married you! Worse you now admit to showing him my reply to your topic - all about him not wanting to marry you.

    I gave you a mans perspective. I never said you would like it.

    I would take offence at that too. I can't see why people are having a go at you TW? All you have done is express (very well might I add) a mans POV on the subject, but I guess as it maybe wasn't what the OP wanted to hear, she's taken a strop on you....

    Oh, and btw TW, not all us women wanted a big white wedding! Ours cost about a £1000, nearer £5000 if you include the honeymoon!

    OP, yes you might have been with your OH for 6 years, but you've only lived together for a short while, how on earth can you be even contemplating marriage? I mean seriously, you talk about taking all the romance out of it...,you doing that all by yourself! Give your OH a break. I appreciate how blooming annoying it is to be constantly asked by other people when you are getting married, and 'oh, it'll be you next!', as I had it myself....but seriously, put the brakes on and enjoy just living together first.

    Nobody's "picking on" anyone, they're just expressing their opinions. It's not like we've been generalising and scapegoating an entire group of people *cough* immigrants *cough*

    <sarcasm> Yes, that's the reason why! All the other people that "had a go at" TW were clearly in a strop with him too. </sarcasm>

    As I said, SOME of TW's comments were most helpful in putting across a male persepctive. However, imho, I thought the rest of this post wasn't needed (and it appears quite a few people agreed with me).

    Again, I stated that I didn't want a big white wedding either. Just something small and simple. The main reason for me wanting to get married is to be husband and wife. Not all women are that shallow or materialistic.

    There was no need at all to say that you and your future husband thought TW sounded a bit like a tool especially to add that you didn't mean to offend when it didn't get much more offending than that.

    Ultimately your boyfriend told you exactly what TW said ie. needing to wait for the time to be right so maybe less of a tool than you think.

    Yes, it appears they were. He expressed an opinion from a male point of view that was basically spot on so I can't see why people would have a problem with that? Unless it touched a nerve for some reason perhaps?

    I can understand that, but what's the rush? How long have you lived together? A few months? I can understand your OH feeling under pressure tbh.

    Bunny you sound very much like a couple of female friends I have who are afraid of being single and would rather be with somebody for the wrong reasons than be single for the right reasons.

    Also I feel sorry for TW here as people do seem to be unjustifiably rude to him.
