Am I the only one who watched this thing loop several times expecting something horrible to happen?
That's accurate.
That makes one feel secure. I'm not saying everyone can or should feel this way. I do. And many women do.
Can and does frequently end in divorce, there is something about a man stepping up and proclaiming forever in a legal capacity
I for one know what it feels like to be in a relationship with someone who always has one foot out the door. While I recognize that marriage
And now for some reason I can't see your comment, so I'll just reply to mine and hope you can see it.
Hey, I didn't downvote that. I literally just logged in. 1/2
It's not about romance. While the wedding is romantic, marriage itself is kind of the most un-romantic thing. It's about accountability.
It's not about the ceremony, it's about the level of commitment. And yes, I know people who are happily together, unmarried.
Yep. But if you want marriage, and your partner doesn't, that's a very, very big problem. My husband agrees: Shit or get off the pot.
I think that's a perfectly valid perspective. If my husband still hadn't proposed after 8 years (hell, even 3 years!) I would have moved on.
Have that conversation. She could definitely propose to him, but she may be old fashioned and have the engagement "dream."
Again, I tend to think that if marriage isn't discussed after 8 years, there is a problem. You're right, both partners are responsible to
Then, he needs to tell her that's how he feels so she can decide whether she's okay with that or not and move on if need be.
You're right about having children without being married, but she said she wanted that before kids.
Well, at 8 years together, personally I think he's not interested in being in it for the long haul, otherwise he'd have said it.
Nope. I'm acting like any woman whose fertility declines at 35! Luckily my husband was smart and wasted no time, but I feel sad for her.
I knew what being gay was when I was her age.
It's not a sleeve if it's on your leg. It's a pant leg. Very cool tattoos!

Is that only if it's an emergency?
How on earth could a child that age not know what gay is? Unless they grew up under a rock?
I have to admit, I find this family sorta refreshing.
I'd take any single one of these adorbs babies.
Have you two discussed marriage? Like, is it in the plan, or are you not sure he'll ever propose?
8 years is a selfish amount of time for someone to take up (especially if it's your 20's and you want kids) without sealing the deal.
I could go for a plate of nachos.
We call this our cat's "slack jaw yokel" face.
In New Jersey, they call Dirty Thunderstorms "The Devil is Beating His Wife."
