[quote=Anonymous]Propose now, op. No woman that’s ever wanted to marry a guy would say no if you asked sooner.  If she’s the sort that would only say yes after a lavish weekend then you need to know that now.

My husband points out that the two of you need to be at the same level of covid caution.  When I read your op, I had the impression that you were the dad planning a trip for the kids then deciding to cancel.  It didn’t set well with me because you assume your girlfriend wants the trip, you assume her schedule is clear and what would be the plan for her to gracefully leave if she said no to your proposal?  I’m not saying you’re a bad guy, just that you are marrying a woman not parenting a child.  If you want a relationship where you surprise her with things, the two of you need to set that up.  What if she’d planned to do something that weekend and hadn’t told you?  What if she didn’t feel the trip was safe?  What if she needed to work?  It’s hard to mess with a work schedule no matter the job.

Finally, the things that make a girlfriend a problem are the same behaviors and traits that a wife needs.  Look at all the posts on here that say “tell your husband to be home” “Tell him that while the baby may not need a vacation, you as a family unit do”

As for your question though, I’d propose now. Who knows when things will get better.  You don’t want to be a person that kicks the can down the road to the point you forget to enjoy today.  Nobody has a lock on tomorrow.  [/quote]
