Marriage?

Question

I've noticed that a lot of women get very anxious to get married and get upset waiting for their boyfriends to propose. I have never felt that way, I am perfectly content with just being with someone for years and years with no marriage. I'm just wondering for those who were specifically looking to get married, why? (not being rude, just curious because I have never felt that way)

Answer

Been with my guy 4.5 years im not in any rush and I'm 38. He just turned 28 and is not ready for marriage any time soon. He's still figuring out life and I don't pressure him. He's figuring out what careers suit him best. We are best friends. I don't see why women demand engagement or marriage after a year. So many don't work out. And really don't get to know someone for a long time. Most people put on their best face and you  don't learn who someone really is, or you learn what you can or can't tolerate etc. You meet someone, no one says hi I'm an abusive manipulative person. No you learn that later On when a situation happens. No one wears a sign with their negative traits so you know ahead of time. Wish they would say him I'm a jerk that's psycho. Nope you have to find out first hand. Growing up I thought by the time I was 30 I would have been married with 3 kids and a stay at home mom, but clearly was dealt a different hand of cards. Take your time. Really get to know someone. Why rush into marriage.

Answer

I have always wondered the same thing. I would be so annoyed if someone expected a decision on my behalf that I wasn't ready for and kept pushing it or being upset about it.

Answer

I'm anxious to get married because of the wedding and getting to pick out a dress

Answer

I never really thought marriage was something I wanted. Even when I was in long term relationships it never seemed to be on my mind until I met my fiancé. After I met him it became something I wanted but never something I was anxious about because I knew he was the right man and it would happen when it happened. I've talked to some women who have said to me they don't really mind who it is as long as they have a ring. I guess everyone just sees marriage a bit differently?
