I was stupid when I was 22.
I can’t judge.
How old is ‘ex having’ man in question?
Also crying man is...naah.
Though lots of women here love crying men...
If I saw my men crying...it’s better be due to allergies or shit...
Why did he cry?

"Have told him that I want him to marry me because he truly loves me but not for keeping me around. He said he thought they are the same thing."
Because to a bull, love means both possessing AND protecting someone. You're his possession now. Getting married would make that official. But it sounds like he doesn't know how to protect you.

Why can't you be assertive? When I was going to get married he asked me without a ring. I told him: "Probably, but without a ring who knows?" He laughed and said he is sorry and will ask again when he had one.
You can't wait for guys to magically know what you want and give it to you.
Men are morons, just ask one and he will tell you haha.

LOL. He hasn’t proposed to me yet. Still waiting. We’ve been together for only 8 months tho. He spent more than 4 yrs with his ex but never did the same thing for her. He admitted that he was not sure about her. He said that he sees me as wife material and I’m the one that he wants to spend the rest of his life with 🤷♀️click to expand

He knows that I want a ring. That’s why he took me to the jewelry shop to get some idea about the knida ring that I like. Not expecting him to propose any time soon because I need time to let things go. He knows that too. But he will do it for sure.click to expand

Look, u don't know what went on between him and his ex. Only they do. He can say whatever to appease you but only they know.

I hope he doesn’t marry you.
You sound like a manipulative bitch.

Posted by CancaGal
He said that after we had a big argument about his ex. His ex was so annoying and I told him to cut her off. He did it, but poorly worded. He said something like “not ready to be friend” and “for a while” to her, and I was not happy with it. I wanted to break up with him, I thought that he was waiting my time. He cried and said that he would marry me so that I can’t leave him. He did call my parents to ask for the permission to marry me and took me to the jewelry shop to have a look at the engagement ring.
I’m confused. I do want to marry him, but I think I deserve better. I deserve to be asked when he’s happy, not when he messes shit up. Have told him that I want him to marry me because he truly loves me but not for keeping me around. He said he thought they are the same thing.
Guess my EQ is higher than him. Need some insight from you bulls

my answer to this is you are 22.
I’m Asian. It is common to get married at my age. But yeah, we take it into consideration and he’d like to wait for a couple years. Things happened and suddenly he asked me to marry him.
Posted by snowballer
If he didn't buy you a ring, he probably won't. He'll probably act like this never happened in a week or two lol. Taurus people talk but rarely ever do. You have to do way more drastic shit to disrupt their comfort zone if you want them to move. Like I left to a different state. Get pregnant or something.

am a taurus man but didn't read thread and not sure what insight you're looking for....all sounds very familiar to me though wrt my views on and hesitance around marriage in general, my 1st marriage to a Cancer and how she wasn't having any of my friendships with exes or any females really....I was always impressed with how easily all the Cancers I've been with controlled me with their emotions....In some ways, it was actually very healthy for me and our relationships IMO...
on a practical note, I think its best though, if you're going to propose, to get tons of input on the ring from your partner (e.g. exactly what they want), take them to look at it/pick it out beforehand, etc., as he seems to be doing...I don't think marriage should involve elements of surprise, save for maybe the exact timing of the proposal. Its not a birthday party but a lifelong commitment in theory, almost all aspects of which should be discussed and agreed upon...plus you have to wear the thing, and I've seen some dudes make some really tacky/horrible choices there when left to their own devices....
How did it go with the cancer wife and the controlling?

How did it go with the cancer wife and the controlling?
I'm getting hostile takeover vibes from this whole thread.
lolol...hostile takeover might be the best way to describe it....she was super demanding/temperamental (Aries Moon/Leo Venus)....she gave me an ultimatum on marrying her - basically she was moving and if I didn't propose, we'd have to part ways....It didn't last but we were just incompatible in so many other ways...
as for positive aspects of the controlling, which I know sounds off, I guess it helped me to have some oversight/accountability with my relationships with other women and also drug/alcohol use - most sober I've been in both regards...She just wasn't having it, e.g., at the time we were engaged, one of her former close female friends and roommate (now more of a rival), was one of my closest friends....very beautiful girl, we used to go out a lot...lots of dinner "dates", saw my first play with her, she spent the night several times. I never fooled around with her and didn't even allow my thoughts to go there, bc I respected her so much, but at the end of the day, that risk was always there. I idealized the hell out of this girl and our friendship. I'm sure that may have complicated things when I hit hard times with the Cancer, if I kept that friendship going, and on some level it did feel inappropriate....The girl was fairly negative about the Cancer whenever she came up, basically an enemy, so I felt I did have to choose sides....still feels like a shitty thing to do, but I also know I wouldn't be cool if the Cancer had the same thing going on with a dude....

am a taurus man but didn't read thread and not sure what insight you're looking for....all sounds very familiar to me though wrt my views on and hesitance around marriage in general, my 1st marriage to a Cancer and how she wasn't having any of my friendships with exes or any females really....I was always impressed with how easily all the Cancers I've been with controlled me with their emotions....In some ways, it was actually very healthy for me and our relationships IMO...
on a practical note, I think its best though, if you're going to propose, to get tons of input on the ring from your partner (e.g. exactly what they want), take them to look at it/pick it out beforehand, etc., as he seems to be doing...I don't think marriage should involve elements of surprise, save for maybe the exact timing of the proposal. Its not a birthday party but a lifelong commitment in theory, almost all aspects of which should be discussed and agreed upon...plus you have to wear the thing, and I've seen some dudes make some really tacky/horrible choices there when left to their own devices....
How did it go with the cancer wife and the controlling?
I'm getting hostile takeover vibes from this whole thread.
lolol...hostile takeover might be the best way to describe it....she was super demanding/temperamental (Aries Moon/Leo Venus)....she gave me an ultimatum on marrying her - basically she was moving and if I didn't propose, we'd have to part ways....It didn't last but we were just incompatible in so many other ways...
as for positive aspects of the controlling, which I know sounds off, I guess it helped me to have some oversight/accountability with my relationships with other women and also drug/alcohol use - most sober I've been in both regards...She just wasn't having it, e.g., at the time we were engaged, one of her former close female friends and roommate (now more of a rival), was one of my closest friends....very beautiful girl, we used to go out a lot...lots of dinner "dates", saw my first play with her, she spent the night several times. I never fooled around with her and didn't even allow my thoughts to go there, bc I respected her so much, but at the end of the day, that risk was always there. I idealized the hell out of this girl and our friendship. I'm sure that may have complicated things when I hit hard times with the Cancer, if I kept that friendship going, and on some level it did feel inappropriate....The girl was fairly negative about the Cancer whenever she came up, basically an enemy, so I felt I did have to choose sides....still feels like a shitty thing to do, but I also know I wouldn't be cool if the Cancer had the same thing going on with a dude....
What was the "friend's" 😉 jk sign?
I swear, if you say scorpio....
aaaaaaaahahah!!! so I wish I was more into astro during that time period. I never did her chart though I did know about charts at that time. She was on the Aries/Taurus cusp, on the Taurus side - I think the very first day of Taurus....which makes sense given how we loved going out to eat together, and how comfortable I felt around her. Aries chicks tend to make me a bit anxious...she wasn't boring at all though; she kinda forced me out of my own shell a bit...
April taurus is the best... it's like an actual cow: you get the horns at the beginning and the other end is where the poop is.. jfwu 😜 good to see ya on here, my udder-brudder! Are you guys still friends?click to expand

He said that after we had a big argument about his ex. His ex was so annoying and I told him to cut her off. He did it, but poorly worded. He said something like “not ready to be friend” and “for a while” to her, and I was not happy with it. I wanted to break up with him, I thought that he was waiting my time. He cried and said that he would marry me so that I can’t leave him. He did call my parents to ask for the permission to marry me and took me to the jewelry shop to have a look at the engagement ring.
I’m confused. I do want to marry him, but I think I deserve better. I deserve to be asked when he’s happy, not when he messes shit up. Have told him that I want him to marry me because he truly loves me but not for keeping me around. He said he thought they are the same thing.

omg! congratulations! that is brilliant news.
you've known him for 8 months.
you're telling him who he can and cannot speak to
he proposed when he felt under pressure and in a state of fear
you think that you are smarter and more mature than him
you think that he is not good enough for you
mazel tov! it's going to be great.
I’ve known him more than 1 year. I know, it’s not long enough. I’m not telling him who he can/ cannot speak to. But I won’t let him speak to someone who says things like “tomorrow is our Valentines”. I’m not saying I’m smarter than him, I’m saying that I’m more sensitive than him. And I don’t think that he is not good enough for me, otherwise I’d have dumped him. Don’t be overthinking about my words.
not a whole year?! you've known him for that long? amazing.
" I’m not telling him who he can/ cannot speak to. But I won’t let him speak to someone who says things like “tomorrow is our Valentines”."
read that sentence again.
you said that you deserve better. you said he is not considerate. you said he is immature and he needs to act like an adult.
really, listen to the way you speak about him. you do think you are better than him.
these thoughts would never even enter my mind when talking about my partner, let alone type them out without shame.
don't blame me for what you see when a mirror is held up.click to expand
