[quote=Anonymous]From the start of the relationship I made it pretty clear I was looking to get married and have a family.  DW said she'd kind of let go of that particular goal, but wasn't at all averse to it - she wasn't looking for that, but happy to find it.  So, the idea was there from the beginning of the relationship.

We dated for a year because even though it was pretty clear right off that we got on well, and was really clear 3-4 months in that we were an excellent fit and "right" for each other, it just seemed sensible to give dating a year before actually getting engaged.

What finally tipped me into asking was that we were able to have our first big "conflict" (job|career and where to live) and get through it in a really mature and productive way.  After that I knew I was dealing with an adult who I could trust to "fight fair" and who would be a partner in finding a solution that took care of my needs and her needs.  Every previous relationship (including a marriage) had involved women who weren't able to do that, and were immature and insecure.  The situation meant we were in an LDR for a little over a year, and I proposed about a month after she had moved for a new job (and didn't freak out about us being in an LDR). [/quote]
