Marry me?

[Shalaytrice]

My DP and I have been together for 3.5 years, started living together after 6 months. Neither of us have been married before.

We have never discussed marriage, not once. I was thinking(hoping) he might ask me on our 2nd or 3rd year anniversary but nothing...I am traditional in that I would want him to ask me not the other way around. Does it sound ridiculous that I'm too shy to bring the subject up? I think I'm afraid that he will make a joke or tell me he doesn't ever want to and I know I will take this personally and feel upset. How to I bring the subject up without sounding desperate?

Congratulations OP!

@YukoandHiro wow! Strong reaction to an opinion!

There are always a few anomalies but yes ime generally speaking it's the case, that if the subject of marriage doesn't arise in the first 3 years generally speaking the guy isn't interested.

Ops update is great and I'm very happy for you both op congratulations 🍾 enjoy the champagne

But ops update indicates that the subject WAS raised by her partner she kind of hadn't noticed though...so I was right

Even among these type of threads on mn this is a rarity!

Again VERY happy for you op. Great stuff!

Yay! Good on you OP...

Congratulations

YAY OP.

How wonderful for you!!! Worried about nothing, hope your happily ever after is as wonderful and perfect as you dream it to be.

To add, have no idea what those going on about age gap were trying to say? If I remember right there's about 12 years between you and your DP? That's honestly nothing between adults. There's 18 years between my DP and dad I!

Only you know your relationship and im so glad you brought it up with him and its just added another strength to your relationship, he sounds like a great guy who you can communicate with, so next time don't be afraid.

Congratulations op, lovely update.
