[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the 2 year deadline but I think it’s wise for young women to tell men, bluntly, that they are willing to DTR/go exclusive/whatever but the clock is starting and by year 2 they expect to be broken up or planning a wedding. This kind of conversation, in my experience, scares off exactly who it should. [/quote]

That's more or less what I told my now-husband when discussing my plans for after law school.  I would be graduating around the 2-year dating mark (a little less) and I told him straight up that we'd either be engaged and planning a wedding or going our separate ways.  I think it freaked him out a little but he proposed a few months later.  [/quote]

My wife did this to me. I had no thoughts of marriage when I graduated law school at 28 and was prepared to date and party for a while. Then girlfriend now wife gave an ultimatum and I didn't want to lose her[/quote]

Eh, my law school girlfriend did this to me, and we broke up because I didn't want to be pressured into marriage. I ended up getting married to someone else a couple of years later. She did too, but she is supremely unhappy in her marriage and wishes things worked out differently with us. I suspect she gave her now husband (and apparently soon to be ex) an ultimatum too. So, yeah, it doesn't always work out to give ultimatums.[/quote]

But in your head you didn’t care which one you married, just the ultimatum was enough?  [/quote]
