My friends are telling me (f) not to propose to my boyfriend

[Anonymous]

Has anyone btdt?
One of my closest friends thinks because he is traditional he will feel emasculated. Another friend says it's a terrible idea. I have only told the two of them and it didn't go well.

It's a terrible idea especiallyif he's traditional. May not be a good match.

Generally it’s a bad idea. How long have you been dating? How old are you guys?

Ask the boyfriend first.

Once you’re roughly on the same page, ask him to marry you. Don’t do the “proposal” stuff. No knee, no open the box, come up with your own unique way.

What? Why is it a terrible idea?

Yes he would make comments about me being a " larla smith" one day. I think he's just slow about it. We talked about doing it once he got his business of the ground. He's done that and he's been in the black for 2 yrs.

I don't remember what I said. I did once joke about our marriage in 10 yrs to some friends and he was visibly mad. Excused himself from the table mad. He's said something as recently as this summer.
