Why buy the cow when you are getting the milk for free. Look here, you tell that boy that he needs to propose soon or you are walking. 6 years?! Hell no.
Thankyou for all your comments really means a lot, we har spoke a lot about marriage even who's going to come ect he wants the same but still nothing yet and it does upset me , I don't want to keep asking as I do want it to be his idea but don't want to wait forever , thanx guys x

I can see how it starts that way but once it is established that you are going to be together for a the duration, I'm with you-- I think it is odd that people don't take that step.
