would you ask him to marry you?

My friend is in that situation now. She has been with this guy for 2 years now and there's no proposal yet but of course she really wanted to get married already. It seems that the guy isnt ready for the commitment yet since he is the one supporting his family in all aspects. I told my friend to wait since the guy isnt ready yet.

There is no head person while in love. We are suppose to love equally so I don't see anything wrong with the woman asking. If she wants to and is waiting for him to ask she may never know what his true intentions and or feelings are about marriage and I don't feel she should waiting forever to have the question asked. I suppose if a couple wants to wed the who asked really in my opinion not important.

I'll never understand why people insist on pretending marriage is some kind of sacred taboo. If you are in a relationship that is serious and long-lasting enough that you have considered and interest in marrying that person, TALK TO THEM ABOUT IT! Getting married is a JOINT decision. It's not about women flitting around, obsessively wondering if he is going to propose, if they will ever get married. It's not about men being left to make that step and decision entirely on his own, worried that he's making the right choice, does she want to, when is the right time, etc. All relationships are about COMMUNICATION and if you can't even talk about getting married then you have no business actually getting married.

It doesn't just have to be up to the man to do the proposing. If i feel love for a man and am ready to make that commitment one of marriage, i would definitely do the asking. You never know how it will turn out if you don't try and let the relationship slip away from you.

I want to say that if my boyfriend wouldnt propose to me that I would ask him because we are just that comfortable with eachother and I know were going to be together and I love him BUT (lol) I still dont know if I could ask him. I would feel like he should be the one to make that commitment. I would want to feel like I ever pressured him or him to feel like I rushed him into it. But if you really love him and you know he really loves you then just bring it up in casual conversation to see how he feels about being married and his plans for the future.
