Is she the one?

[Platypus]

The funny thing is they are probably really unhappy at home, but too gutless to do anything about it.

I seem to recall someone else on here posting the other day that they needed to be single but didn't have the heart to dump their bloke. I guess they're really unhappy at home too.

Ni, I'm Dave Mac and I'm Scottish, not AussieLong who's Australian. I was reading through. Been in a meeting. Very poignant speech you gave.

Are you also called Dave?

Ooooh is the Aussie chap "long"?!!

2 years in, love her...

Still constantly analysing the relationship in my head...

Can i find a better partner? a more attractive one...better than me

Do i want to live here? Should i go travelling before i'm too old

Should i mate with more wimmin before i settle down?

Should i earn more money in horrible places before opting for the easy life?

What questions should i ask myself when making a decision about whther to marry her. she has given me a marriage ultimatum

Ok I've read the thread, here's my 2c,

(1) When you tell her "I love you", do you secretly cringe a little inside? I suspect yes.

(2) Do you want to start a family? A women who nags you to propose will soon start nagging about a family. It's the slippery slope. She will lie about this point. To be fair, she may not think she wants to start a family almost immediately, but she does.

(3) If you think you want/need to sleep with more babes, then you probably do. Best get that out the way before you get married. You'll always regret it if you don't. See also (5) and resentment.

(4) Would you turn down sex from a decent looking bird right now? If no, you're not ready for monogamy which is kinda important in a marriage.

(5) Bottom line: you have doubts, therefore don't do it. If you do, you will resent the decision and this will inevitably cause the relationship to fail.

So speaks "Dr. Relationship"

P.S. Can you find a better partner? Probably. Reading in New Scientist recently, it's surprising how few people we meet before we find "miss right". In effect most people make the choice having been acquainted with only a few hundred potential partners, and choose based on that pool.

However, it's fair to say that if you need to consult New Scientist in order to answer this question, then for the love of god stick with this woman!! There wont be another!!

she will reveal her true personality after you marry here and you will end up ordering your Fathers For Justice Spiderman suit from amazon.co.uk years later.

Ask Wilmslow - he will know the answer.

The font of things relationships

[Ruprect]

Does her dad own a brewery?

...or will you show them to me?...

[DiscoStu]

...or will you show them to me?...

...Cause you've you've got a nice head
And you look pretty honest
So me face'll be leavin' in a quarter of an hour
I'd like you to be on it...

Very good advice here for the guy in denial.

Reckon here's some more lists (programmers like them!)

Is she often moody?
Ditch immedately

Does she blame others for her "problems"?
Ditch immediately

If she has aspects of below, then enjoy but NEVER marry (and wear a condom) she has to be mega fit though!
- She likes to be spoiled
- Moans a lot (its your fault etc)
- Is interested in the finer things in life (nice holidays etc)
- Is great in bed


Finally, If she's all of the below then marry immediately - cos there's not many human beings like this - let alone women!
- kind
- quietish but popular
- good with kids
- keeps calm in emergancies
- has interests in life (sport, hobby)
- Has no personal image problems
- Keeps themsleves healthy with exercise and a good diet (not a slimming diet)
- Is happy having a cheap picnic with you on a Summer's day even though it's started to rain - and you both laugh about your "bad" luck with weather.
