To be curious about how many times women have been proposed to or engaged?

[WiseGreyOtter]

I find it so interesting hearing about women’s past experiences, especially when it comes to proposals or engagements. Some people are only proposed to once, while others have different stories.

How many times has it happened for you and what’s the story behind it?

none

None

You first, OP.

Just the once.

None

4 proposals - 2 engagements and marriages.

Every time I got married.

Twice

Neither by men I was in love with (still married both 😂)

None. Married for 25 years.

0 and 0 but I also put no effort into dating and generally don’t like men who like me

Never been proposed, engaged or married.

none

met DH at 17, at 19 we just decided to get married, no proposal or anything, that was nearly 40 years ago

OK adjective/colour/animal name with no posting history.

If it looks like a bot, and sounds like a bot, chances are, it's a bot.

Never proposed to, I suppose technically engaged once and married once.

Yep Op - if your curious Google it.

Proposed to - once
Engaged - once
Married - once
Divorced - once

Twice. We got engaged in our mid-20's but eventually he said that he categorically didn't want to have children so I broke it off. We stayed in touch a little. Then one day, out of the blue, I was informed by a mutual friend that he'd died. He was only in his early 50's.

Second time to exH, 2 children.

None, which is the perfect number for me.

Any plans for this information when you get it OP? Obviously this is definitely just for your personal interest... definitely not research because that's against the site rules. I totally believe you. 🙄

Nope, not research - just nosy in the classic Mumsnet way. But thanks for the… enthusiastic concern.

Why the arsiness? Mn is a constant resource for lazy journalists cranking out ‘lifestyle’ features.

Engaged three times
Married twice
Divorced once.

I wasn’t being arsy, I just replied in kind to the tone I got. If someone had simply asked “are you doing research?” I’d have happily clarified. Also, Mumsnet being used by journalists isn’t exactly news and I’m clearly not one. Just a regular user asking a regular question.

Well we decided to get married and did so once I guess

Proposed to twice, married once.
