[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I truly did not realize women waited for men to propose. This is so odd to me.[/quote]

How old are you and what is your gender?[/quote]

45yo female

When I met my H at 23 I told him I was not looking to be serious, we dated on and off, not monogamous.
3 years later when I realized he might be the guy and I was 26 I told him that I wanted to get married evnetually and I was going to look for a monogamous relationship, I asked if he was interested. He said, I am not ready for a commitment. So I said, "Awesome, love you, hope you have a great life". No big awful break-up, I was sad, he was sad.... but life goes on.
8 months later he asked me on a a date and I told him I was not interested unless he was thinking of a monogamous relationship. He said he was.
We were monogamous for 2 years and moved in together, ate mac and cheese and jug wine for the next 2 years and bought a house... got married somewhere in between.

I was never just waiting to be proposed to, I had an idea of what I wanted out of life, I communicated that consistently for years and he had the same goals. When he didn't we were not together. [/quote]

So neither of you proposed?  And you moved in before you got married?  Huh. I'm a 48 year old female and wouldn't have done it your way. By chance, do you have children?[/quote]

37yr old female and we moved in together, purchased a house together, converted it to a rental and purchased another house (in thr middle got two dogs) and then got married. We then quickly had kids. All done prior to age 30.[/quote]
