[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm interested to know how many guys proposed because their girlfriend had a 'sh!t or get off the pot' conversation with them. [/quote]

I did, although it wasn't put to me by my GF (now DW) as shit or get off the pot.  [b]More of "this is what I want in life, married, kids by mid-30s, and if you wan't something different, I need to move on"[/b]

We were both late 20s when she said that to me, dating 4 years.  Honestly, marriage just wasn't on my radar, but her bringing it up made me choose whether I wanted her to be my wife or to chance it and be single again.  We are happily married, 2 kids.

I think women should push for this if they want a marriage and family by a certain date.  Relationships start to lose their passion around the 3-5 year mark.  I have seen plenty of men waste a woman's prime dating years (20s, early 30s) dating, only to have the relationship lose their passion as many relationships do through no fault of anyone (see all the threads on women who love their men but no longer have the urge for frequent sex.  Men in that situation - single, no kids - may move on without the frequent sex or marriage and kids holding them together .  Then the man's eye wanders to a new relationship leaving the woman single without a large pool of eligible men.[/quote]

+1.  This was how it went down in our relationship - right from the start it was clear what each of our expectations and goals were.  While it was totally fine if I wasn't ready to settle down, she was and didn't want to waste time long term with someone who didn't.[/quote]
