I loved this proposal because not only did she intend on marrying him but he also had the intention of marrying her. But if its been 10 years and a woman is on her knee because she's fed up and just wants to get married I think thats horrible because it seems like the man had little intention of marrying her and is just accepting it to shut her up
That’s why it’s important to discuss intentions early on. If you want to married within 5 years or so and the other doesn’t have an idea if they want to get married, move on. It seems harsh, but when you’re intentional you can’t gamble on whether the person will eventually make up their mind.
i think it’s more the issue of someone proposing JUST because their partner won’t. like if u’ve been begging to get married and there’s no movement on the other side so u just take it into ur own hands, it kind of feels like ur partner maybe just didn’t want to get married/didn’t care to put the effort in. it shouldn’t be done out of desperation. proposals should happen bc the person just wanted to, not as a last ditch effort to lock down their partner.
it’s still really doesn’t change anything. If you’re setting a standard based off of a gender, then getting mad for them, not doing something that you could do. Then that is setting up a manipulative toxic environment. I’m glad I’m gay because it seriously seems like straight people hate each other. Y’all set up so many contradictive and archaic ways of having a relationship.
i just wouldn’t want to have to take the next step if my partner isn’t willing to either. it should be a conversation of if u want to be proposed to or if u want to do the proposing for sure and i’ve been in relationships where the man wants to be the one to propose and he still won’t and i’m not going to be waiting around with the hope that one day he’ll finally make the commitment.
it’s kind of a feeling. guys that i’ve dealt with in the past never actually talked or acted like they were all in. it felt like if i didn’t propose, then they never would so why would i. in contrast my current partner i would do anything for because i KNOW that he would do anything for me. i want to see and feel effort from my partner without having to fight for it. it should be a natural want, not something i have to beg for.
