When and how did you realize you wanted to propose?

7 comments

1. I was in boot camp. Being isolated from the outside world for 3 months and the only contact you have is a letter every other week from your gf makes you want to get married.

2. As soon as the army stuck me in the barracks, I realized I’d propose to anyone to move out of those dumps. As to when? I proposed at any opportunity I had. Someone eventually said yes.

3. When I realized we had the same values.

4. We bought a house together eventually and I realised I didn’t want to be without her and never felt that way ever before having been very independent. So took her to Europe on a surprise trip and proposed.

   That was 15 years ago now. Ish. I think. Lol

5. Thought it would fix our relationship

   It didn’t.

   Engaged a year before we split and thank God we did she was fucking toxic and a narcissist.

   She’s a dude now as well. Which isn’t really an issue for me so much as an explanation.

6. She kept pushing.

7. After dating/ seeing many different people, usually short term before I’d leave because they weren’t close enough to what I wanted; we were up late after a party and I realized she was. First time I’ve had someone move in too
