How long were you with your partners before you got engaged?

[aidensxmomma]

My OH and I had been together 2 1/2 years before he proposed. Right in the middle of our living room . We will be getting married next November, so we will be together for 4 1/2 years when we get married.

Hi hun,

Well I'd been with DH for 11 months when he asked me to marry him. We knew it was on the cards for the future but I didn't expect it to be so soon. Luckily all sets of parents were over the moon and saw it coming (I was completely blind it seemed).

He asked me after 3 months to move in with him but we waited until we'd been together for 7 months. He then asked 4 months later to marry him. We've been married just over 2 years now and have lived together for 3 1/2 years, so something's 'right'

No children on either side.

Oo and I should state that he started to plan asking me after we'd been together for 6 months. He wanted to ask me then but was scared of my mum's reaction Apparently he just 'knew'.

Hi there!

My OH and I had been friends for a solid year before we started "dating." I never liked to call it that, but that was technically what we were doing. And 4 months later, he proposed. 5 months after that, we were married. 15 months later we had a beautiful baby boy.

Perhaps you could bring up the subject to see how he feels about the topic in general. It's such a huge deal when you're only even thinking about marriage; it's definitely worth discussing to maybe feel better about the prospect of your feelings being reciprocated. Hope everything goes the way you're hoping it will.

we were together 10 months and he popped the question...tho we had known from about 6 months that we would get engaged 10 months after that we got married...i think theres something in the saying when you meet the one you just know. doesnt always need to be an easy ride but theres just something inside you that says this is it xx

We had been together just about 4 years when he finally proposed this past Christmas and we're getting married in July! I think he finally got tired of me nagging him and gave in, haha! No kids on either side.

If you truely think he's the one and you're ready then I think you should casually bring it up and see what his thoughts are on your future and see what he's thinking. Best of luck to you!

I really feel that I could be with my partner forever! I have been engaged before, to my son's dad, but it always felt wrong - I just tried to kid myself that it was right!

I may have a chat with him soon. I'm not getting any younger hehehe

I met df at my senior prom. He had been dating my best friend for over a year, yet somehow I knew I would marry him. She soon after starting seeing his best friend on the side, and I convinced her to break Io with him. We all went on a double date, but it was so awkward nothing really happened. 11 months ago, we started seriously dating. We were verbally engaged 6 weeks later, moved in together 2 weeks after that. We had been together almost 5 months when he got down on one knee, and we get married in June!!

We got engaged after 1 year and 6 months. He proposed to me and no children yet!

Thats a brilliant story! I love a nice happy ending. Congrats to you both xx

Oh yeah no children for either and as I believe I said he asked!

Hi, well I am newly engaged. My OH asked after being together just over 2 years together. We had said from early in that marriage and children was something we would do together. I was like you Jenba I basically couldn't wait, we had said when I moved in that we would have an engagement party in summer but I fell pregnant then suffered a miscarriage, then a second so it kind of put things on the back burner. However my OH always said we will get married, but I was shocked when he proposed the other week.

The proposal was very impromptu and was not part of his plans for that evening but the moment just took him and now we are engaged. We have spoken since as i am a major worrier and tbh we are very happy and we could have carried on as we were without problem. My OH has already been married and has 1 daughter from that relationship so I was worried that he may feel negative towards doing this as it wasn't a good marriage for him or her and I didn't want him to feel the same about this wedding, as without sounding awful his words are he would still spend the rest of his life with me if we didn't get married, its not a necessity to our relationship lasting or working. Hope that makes sense.

I do see me and OH spending the rest of our lives together, and it looks like the marriage thing will happen sooner than I expected too which is fantastic. I can only say my OH had said we would get married but he isn't a planner so it just happened for us when it was meant too. So perhaps it will happen for you too sooner than you think
