[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's semantics. I was very clear with my husband that I wanted to marry him. But it was important to me that he actively decide that he wanted this too. So I waited for him but it was like waiting for him to be in the same place that he knew I was in. I think for a lot of couples it is not out of thin air, just that women tend to know first and then the guy has to decide he's on board too.[/quote] This, but I think it’s more than semanotice and still indicates troubling gender relationships. For most couples I know, the woman wanted to get married before the man, so she indicated this in subtle or not subtle ways—which was essentially like asking him to marry her. When he was ready to say yes, he then proposed to her. It’s not generally a real question in that the conclusion is foregone. But I find the whole thing icky. And I’m not some new finagled millennial. I’m almost 50, and I’ve always found it icky. [/quote]
