how long into your relationship did he propose?

[Ialwaysgetbulliedonmumssnet]

How long had you been together before your partner proposed to you?

Obsessed!

7 months, but we talked about it 6 weeks in. No proposal really, just a 'fuck it, let's get married'. Then he went and bought me a ring.

A week actually. I told him to wait & he proposed again a week later. We were engaged within 4 months officially & married in 14 months. 32nd Wedding Anniversary this year.

3 weeks. It was a mutual decision rather than a proposal. In Wetherspoons. Then buying a ring in the Cash Converters next door. Classy ha

About 5 months with most of it long-distance. We about 1.5 months in person during what was originally intended as 'just' a summer together.

We'd discussed marriage/future, but his proposal was spontaneous - no ring or anything, and he understood when I asked for time to consider it. Married 3 months after that. Decades on, it's still the best choice I ever made.

In my experience, only to a certain type of woman. Not to any type of man, ever, really.

That’s lovely for your stepdaughter, I hope she has a long and happy marriage. I just don’t really understand why proposing is still a thing.

2 years, married after 3 years. Just celebrated our 48th anniversary.

It must mean something to some men or they wouldn’t go to the lengths they do to make it special.

Just over a year

We got married 4 months after that.

I think answers will be wholly dependent on when people got together with their partners. Meeting as teenagers = normal to wait 6/7 years to mid twenties before proposing. Meeting in your thirties, perhaps a year or two is more standard.

Two months, but as we lived on different continents we were only physically in the same place for five days of that. We dealt with immigration requirements (mine to USA from UK) and got married ten months later. That was nearly 21 years ago.

First date.....I said no.....should have kept saying no😂

4 months. Married 2.5 years later (post graduation). Married for 32 years so far.

2.5 years. We are in our 20s.

One year to the day

Nearly five years. We were pretty young when we got together though (20 and 23)

We had the chat after 12 years. We were in no rush! Together 25 now, married 13. Still goofy nuts about each other

A year but he had discussed a couple of months in that he wanted to marry me, but he wanted to save up for a ring so it was official. We already had a baby together at that point.

6 months but he had mentioned it before that.

We had been to a wedding reception when we had been together less than four months where they had an A-list and a B-list and I found it to be rude and grabby. He said: "Yes, it is. We won't be doing that at our wedding."

4.5 months

4 years I think but we were young only mid twenties. Didn't get married till early 30s and had a child before then

20 years, and to be fair it only came about because he didn't want his family making some medical decisions in case he was hospitalised. (they have strong opinions that repeatedly go against sound medical advice)

It doesn't sound very romantic, I know - but we had been happy as just 'partners' for years so we both didn't feel the need. Our respective families have no clue we tied the knot as we did it on a big trip all the family knew about - we just visited more than casinos in Vegas (yes, we did the pre work and yes its valid in the UK)

Four months

After just over 1.5 years but we had already discussed it. We married over 3 years after that though. Been married over 5 years now (together for almost 10 years in total).
