How long after knowing your partner did you propose?

Me and Mrs Dimple haven't had a major argument in 38 years.

That is amazing, I hope we can be the same. I couldn't even imagine upseting or being nasty in any way to my wife....we disagree sometimes, but I always live by the adage that if you give in on all the small things that don't really matter, then you are more likely to get what you want with the important things.....

Also I know my wife, I know when to shut up basically. :)

That's great mate, good on the three of you!

I often wonder how I'd handle it if I really loved someone but they couldn't live with my career choice. I tell myself I'd always say my career comes first, but then I've never experienced love. So who knows...

I think you got the balance perfect. The best of both worlds. :)

My wife knew what I did from the beginning I think that helps. It also helps when your partner understands that the last minute deployments and sudden recalls are not your fault and they are not done to inconvience you, but because it is important.

She wouldn't tolerate it in my 'normal' job, not that I tried or had too.

If you love someone enough, your career is secondary, trust me.
 
about 1 year... we also got a mortgage together after just over a year, and have had a child together after nearly 5 years. Also in our 5th home together in 5 years lol. Still not married :p
 
Not me, but my aunt was dating a guy for 8 years and was getting tired of waiting around. Fast forward, she went to a wedding with the him, met a really great bloke, and left her bf to get hitched with him the very next night. Still married for around 15 years now :p
 
For those that say "when you know, you know"

I call BS. Some years back I knew I was with the one, I just couldn't imagine life without her and everything in our relationship was so perfect, and there were so many unbelievable events and coincidences that I knew she must be the one. after 2 years the day came when I went to ask her and she stopped me before I could even finish and said No.

Took over 3 years before I started dating again.
Now I certainly will not make the mistake asking too soon.

Sounds pretty soul destroying, don't let one bad experience affect your life though...

I had a relationship when I was a lot younger (17) where I was absolutely besotted with the girl, I didn't ask her to marry me or anything, but I was devastated when I found out she was cheating....I would have probably asked her in different circumstances as I thought she was the love of my life at the time, in hindsight and with the experience of what I feel with my wife I wasn't in love with her, she wasn't the one, and I was simply obsessed with her in my own naivety.

My wife was different, I felt different and it was not until that point that I recognised the difference.
 
Been with the better half 6 years, living together for 4 but not going to just yet as I'm only 25 and we're looking to buy a house this year. A year or so in the house to save up for a bit of money then we'll see...

Seems incredibly selfish.

Then it is good thing that not everything is always as it seems then isn't it. Of course you could always simply jump to making accusations about someone and about something you don't know anything about instead.

Castiels wife.

Age old question:

What do you do when you end up meeting a girl that you really do like but she has a boyfriend? :/

Did she give a reason?

She gave some not very convincing reasons, so I guess in the end she just never loved me as much as I loved her. There were complications with it being LD for a time and she was American but I made it clear that I was willing to leave my family behind in the UK. We met when I was workin n the Uas for a year, then she came over to the UK.


Funnily enough, 7 years later I am back in the US on the west coast with a GF on the East coast.:(
 
I proposed on our 10th year together and got married on our 13th year and we are coming up to our 16th year this year. I like to take things slowly :D
