[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Completely disagree with 33-year-old man posting. It must be nice to have all the time in the world (almost) to have children, but that's not the reality for women.

OP, if you love this guy, you need to propose. Simple as that. Stop waiting and take matters into your own hands. If he says no, time to leave.

Speaking as a 34-year-old woman, what I have learned and what a wise older friend told me about life is that you don't wait until the "perfect time" for what you want. You might wait until it's practical or possible, but don't wait until everything is "just right." This is why so many men in LTR who get broken up with suddenly get engaged and married -- after they get dumped, they realize that waiting for the perfect time FAILED and they lost out. They don't make that mistake again.

Don't wait for the perfect moment to get married, have a baby, expand your family, buy a house. You can't get that time back. If you have the basics (financial stability, a good relationship, etc), you ARE ready. If he's not, time to move on.

(I should add, DH and I got married in our mid-20s and started having kids at 30, despite us both not feeling "perfectly ready" for either step, we were ready enough. Looking back, I am glad I followed my friend's advice and didn't drag my feet on the things that were important to me.)[/quote]
Funny you disagreed with the 33yo PP, but end up with the same advice....[/quote]
