How long should you/did you wait for your man to propose?

Hi Ambreya, It depends on the relationship. There could be many reasons to your question. I'm traditional and dont believe in women proposing to men but I would ask him in a way that is soft and not demanding. Maybe something like this.... Sweetie, We've been together for four years and have had this amazing child together. I know we have our own passions/goals in life but I would like to make our connection more formal and secure. Do you see us getting married within a year or two. I'm ready to be a wife to you. What do ya think? Are you ready? See how he responds to something like this ( doctor it up as per your situation). However, he should have proposed already but ask him and see where his head is at. Best of luck ;)

Hi Ambreya, Well its under totally different circumstances but how about 30 years. That's how long my mother knew my stepfather before he finally popped the question. Kind of a fairy tale romance straight out of hollywood. There relationship survived being 250 miles apart for over 15 years, and yet they stayed in contact, and after my grandmother passed away in 2000, my mother moved back, to where we all live now, to be with him. 7 years later he finally popped the question, and they have been married for a year and a half. Probably not helping you much, but better late than never. Just curious if you have discussed your feelings on the matter with your significant other recently. Its not something that comes up often in alot of relationships in your situation, but there's nothing wrong with bringing it up once in a while.

Hello, how are you? Exactly, I assume there is a problem. If you have known each other for four years and have a child then it's time to get married. Have you tried to ask him to get married? Have you asked him why you aren't married? Do you want to just live together or be married?

no reason you can't ask. it took us 8 years to get round to getting engaged though, and it will be our 10 year anniversary of meeting on new years eve, and we've been married 3 months now. so if its not happened yet, it doesn't mean it won't. but if its that important to you, you need to talk together about it.
