Hey all, using this name as an alias as the other half knows I post on here and I’m a bit paranoid.

I’ve been with my other half for just over a year now, we are both mid/late twenties. I’m thinking of proposing, spoke to my brother about it who thinks I’m an idiot as it’s been just over a year. I love this woman and I’m quite sure she’ll say yes so I’m going to just go with my head. Just wanting to hear from those of you who are married and those who are in long term relationships:

To those who are married; how long were you together before you proposed and what made you know it was the right? (also how did you do it?).

Those in long term relationships; how long have you been together and has the thought crossed your mind at all?
 
Surely if you have ask for advice on the right time you cant be at that point yourself?

But as you said if you think its the right time, go for it.

I guess you'll just know.
 
When you know, you know.

Make sure as Ahleckz states, that you live together. Things can change when you live together, the dynamic especially :)
 
There's definitely a thread where people said how long they'd been together and stuff. Doesn't Castiel have the record for the shortest proposal or something? (And still being together)

I'm 29, she's 26. We were living together for 3 months before we became a couple so never really had the dynamics change. Not really asking for advice so much, just wanted to be nosey!

3 months, we were lying on the floor talking stuff and nonsense and it just sort of came out. It just felt right, can't really say why but I just couldn't think of not being wit her.

To be fair I had known her for 3 years previously.
 
my parents got married just under a year from first knowing each other and are still happilly married 28ish years later
 
I say go for it!!
As long as it feels right for you to ask her, that should be the right time.

Yeah some people say a 1 year relationship isn't long enough to get engaged but it depends on the couple - my mother was married to my dad only 11 months after getting together and they've just celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.
 
14 posts and no one jumping on the OP for a duplicate accounts?! Not even KD as a UB? Standards are slipping :p
 
My fiance proposed to me a little over 2 years together, we currently aren't living together (although we never spend a night apart at each others parents houses) but we are in the process of buying a house together now.

We've been engaged over a year and it will probably be a good few years before we even get married because the house is going to suck up all of our money for the near future, but it's nice to know we're engaged and not just boyfriend/girlfriend. I feel it makes people take us a little more seriously.

But yeah, no-one else can tell you when it's the right time :)
 
hang on. your trying to be discreet here so using a different username (star trek fan?). so far you have given us both your ages, how long you have been together and that you lived together before becoming a couple. I hope she's not a rocket scientist or you might get rumbled!

Ask her if your deeply in love with her and if you think the time is right. Don't just pop the question if you think it will make the relationship better in some way, it won't. What I mean is, if your having any doubts, to be more stable, more sex etc.
