Marriage?

[beachcitygirl]

Both in our 50’s - would be a second marriage - adult kids on both sides. Living together 8 years, financial agreements sorted. (In my benefit really) Would you expect a proposal to be forthcoming/ I do & I’m sad it’s not.

Does he definitely know you would like to marry him?

8 years living together??! Yes a wedding should have taken place by now if that’s what you want!

Does he know you want to get married?

We remarried after I made it clear that’s what I wanted. We had lived together almost 7 years when I asked why we weren’t married. He just thought I didn’t want to as I had said when we first met I would never do that again (bad first marriage) we ironed that out and just arranged a wedding. No grand proposal no big announcement. We just organised a gorgeous little wedding for our family and us and then went away on a fab holiday. Job done.

just have the conversation

Hi all, thanks. My previous marriage was hideous and the divorce worse and traumatising. He didn’t think I’d want to go through that again and I don’t have a good relationship with my mum but he felt that may be hard for me. He has said he would love to get married if I want to, but that’s why he arranged all the financial aspects so I’m protected regardless.
turns out communicating is the key. Who knew x
