It sounds like you're settling yourself. " It's more than some women ever get"...Wooooowwwwww maybe you should reevaluate your own relationship because from the way you're ranting it doesn't sound like you're to happy about being together for 6 years with no security in your relationship, PROMISES can be broken.

Reevaluated my relationship: Going strong and happier than you'll ever be. And if you could comprehend properly, you would understand we haven't already been together 6 years, we will be together that long when we get married. So if you can do math, that's four years we've been together. And yes, you are right, promises do have the possibility to be broken, but that is not what happened to this woman which is why I believe her post is essentially invalid. It wasn't like he was a runaway groom. Two days after their engagement, perhaps that was his suggestion for when they should set a date. Still sounds to me like this woman blew things out of proportion. And my comment about engagement is more than some women ever get is alluding to the stories of other women who have been in a relationship for 5,6,10 years, waiting for the next step which never comes. I'm not sure if you thought I was talking about myself, because I clearly stated I am engaged.. In any case, your judgment of me and my relationship was off the mark, as was your understanding of my comment overall so you're welcome for clearing it all up for you.

How do you know that I'm not happy....smh....LoL... Women who wait around that long for a ring should just hang it up in the first place because they've made a commitment that he CLEARLY hasn't made nor does he plan to....I understand that you said you were engaged my point was that you didn't sound too happy about the wait by the way you're attacking this woman about her not KNOWING that he intended to wait so long. People have a right to know what their partners want up front. It's better to say that I'm uncertain about my ability to make this commitment up front before presenting a ring. If he's uncertain now their is no guarantee that he will be ready in 2 years.

"Marriage isn't something you dive into"... you said it. If it's not something you dive into, why propose to your significant other if you aren't "ready for marriage"?

Since when does marriage = engagement? I also said the engagement is like a getting ready period and it sounds like the guy needs at least two years before he's ready for the marriage day itself. I also said he must be at some degree of readiness because he went ahead with obtaining a ring to give her in a very public proposal. He's obviously sure he wants to marry her, they just clearly haven't decided on when. And frankly, instead of whining on here about it like a child she should be discussing it with her finace and they should be working this out and setting a date so they ARE both on the same page, and that would clear up uncertainty on both parts.

Sounds more like she ASSUMED they'd get married in a year's time or something, after the engagement. If someone proposed to me, I'd assume that they wanted to wait at least 2 years before the actual marriage.

And if people proposed when they were ready, there wouldn't be an engagement which is essentially a "getting ready" period, they would get hitched the next day. And I would argue that he is at some degree of readiness because he clearly went ahead to purchase a ring and make a very public proposal. I also doubt it was some scheme to "make sure that she is there". She has the right to leave at anytime. Didn't sound to me like he is holding her hostage. Did she tell him that she would be ready and wants to marry next month? If she hasn't put her two cents in then she really cannot whine. Like the Tango, it takes two for marriage.

Clearly she didn't assume that it would be that long and as far as I know I've never met anyone that proposes and says that they are ready but not for At LEAST another 2 years which has a possibility of extending. People shouldn't propose if they are unsure of the commitment. It should come when they are sure and if they choose to have a long engagement to plan an elaborate wedding, for a certain day, or to make sure finances and other life essentials are in order then that makes sense but to say that and engagement is a test run for the uncertain is absurd. The 3 or 4 years you were together was a test run. I'm essentially promising myself to you while you're teetering on the edge of uncertainty....All I'm saying is that if you want to be married then let me know that you are sure that I'm the one and we are getting married NOT that you're unsure and you need 2 years to get your head together, by the way here's a ring to mark my territory. Life is not a trial stage and you only get one.
