No proposal/ring on Valentines Day

[Anonymous]

Get happy with yourself and friends, then go get setup with new dates.

Dont worry about flakey ex BF, he’ll disappoint whomever he ends up with in the long run. Dudes who don’t know what they want or need another adult to tell them what to do, fail over and over at adulting.

Risk there is the boy couldn’t handle that and was resentful, OR he’d hem & haw about how he just doesn’t know…

Either way, she would have smoked out a loser and been single. Same as now!

No drama no fight. She dated others rather than him and in 6months to a year he had decided, he would like to be married. And he hoped to marry her and hoped she was still available. She was, and they got married.

This happens a lot.

It happens way more than most women admit. Plenty of women I know did this to get married. Are they happy though?

I’m not. But he has mental disorders he won’t manage. So that may have been driving his lack of emotion and action and decisions.

No, it worked. He revealed his non-intentions, and she walked. Good for her.

Ultimately, if women want to have kids with a husband they realize they need to get married sooner rather than later.

Once you get to your mid 20s, it's best to find someone else if current guy doesn't want to commit. I found out the hard way.

Smart woman. If she’s in her mid 20s these are her prime dating years. Best not to waste them on a guy who won’t commit. Two years is plenty of time.

Do women put a ring on it now?

This is such an idiotic question, and idiotic phrasing.

Why? Do women propose in 2026?

Yes but they do it in a passive-aggressive way… by issuing an ultimatum. 😀

Your daughter sounds immature and high maintenance. He’s lucky.

She was disappointed that he didn’t propose at Christmas, so she gave him until Valentines Day. He didn’t and that’s over. They were together over two years and it seems to me that she's so sad. What is a normal length of time to just date someone now?

the guy dodged a bullet for sure.

demanding a proposal on a specific holiday.

wow, you must be a troll.

She sounds spoiled and demanding. I think this guy really dogged a bullet here!

Sensible and mature approach after two years.

Why not? If men want equality and women to bring in money and do parenting and chores, women have as much say.

Nobody needs to put a ring on the other but if both want to, they can ring shop together and buy their own or each other's rings.
