Although I think that at 5 months, even talk or planning of a wedding is a little silly, I for one as well as many women I know pretty much have to set down the marry me or it is over bullshit...
I think everyone here screaming that the ultamatium is evidence of a sick realtionship, (and I have not read any other post about this guys realtionship, so I am sure I am a tad misinformed) I have been in a realtionship for 2(living together) years, setting wedding dates dealing with controlling inlaws, and finally just said, look if we are not married by such and such a date, it is OVER...After reading this thread, I felt like a immature bitch, but sometimes a girl has to say, He dude, I love ya, but yeah, if you can't commit we have to call it quits..
Then again he kept on saying he "wanted to get married" but something always "CAME UP" and it just felt like he was stalling for time. He is in the military, and I am expected to give up my plans in order to futher him, so the I start planning my life for just me, or marriage helps me include him in the future...We are not married yet, but he says he wants to be, I can't live the next year with that....I am out, and off to school in the southwest, if we are not married...Am I so bad?????
What is wrong with noticing the different values, plans and opionions of a partner, and realizing they may not have the same plans,and you would like to keep your options open to have a fulfilling realtionship with somone on the same page as you...
You don't know how many people I know who were married, or thrown into a realtionship because the chick got preggos, that hurts a lot of people, not to mention the kid when mommy and daddy did'nt even know that each other was a crazy fuck before they concieved JR. and now they are battling each other in court, and using the kid against one another...I have seen some painful shit, and it is not worth it...
Sometimes there is a place for ultamatiums, bikinimom, you are one sassy bright lady, but it is offensive to drop a blanket judgment on all people all the time, and from what I see a smart women in a long term living toghter realtionship is entitled to ask for a proposal after a few years, or to say she is GETTING OUT>
MY 0.2
DON"T lead this girl on, either be SERIOUS about her long term, and tell her so....OR say, I AM NOT LOOKING TO GET MARRIED...No matter what happens don't be a coward, the truth will always rear it's head in a realtionship when lies are told to keep it together out of FEAR of losing someone...Take it from me....hard to recover from that crap....
