So I just read all the proposal stories in the July contest, and I must say I loved every single one! Whether it was fancy or simple, it was so special and so completely YOURS! I don't have one of those stories. Infact I’ve been married twice and have never been proposed to. My 1st marriage, I was...

So I just read all the proposal stories in the July contest, and I must say I loved every single one! Whether it was fancy or simple, it was so special and so completely YOURS!

I don't have one of those stories. Infact I’ve been married twice and have never been proposed to. My 1st marriage, I was 18 and pregnant. My mother made me marry the DB. She invited his mother over for tea, they chose a date. 3 weeks later we were married. (Biggest mistake ever!)

My current husband and I dated in highschool, we just knew we would be together forever. He joined the AirForce right after HS and before he left he bought me an engagement ring. He never said the words though, never got down on a knee, just put it on my finger and we both cried.

While he was gone I missed him so incredibly much and had a really hard time dealing with things. So what did I do...? I cheated on him. Just looking for someone to numb the pain I guess.

    HisMrs. - I went and found it (I have wayyy too much time on my hands, lol) and it looks like someone on here who was saying something unpopular and shall remain unnamed went over to TK and provided the link for your thread then asked if she was out of line. The ladies at TK basically said she has a right to post her opinions, but that she didn't need to and that it was kinda b**chy of her to have done so...they also appear to not think very highly of WW overall *shrugs* don't sweat it HisMrs. {hugs}

    My proposal wasn't 100% traditional. FH and i already knew (since the day we met) we were going to get married. he is just super adamant about paying for things in cash and finances at the time didn't warrant him buying me the "dream ring" i wanted for a while. and he wanted to buy me that ring.

    we had already started actively planning our wedding. even went and looked at a venue, chose the venue and picked a date before he officially proposed.

    even though we were starting to plan a wedding, he still wanted to do an official proposal. and i wanted him to also. it was "how it's supposed to work." lol. he planned it out. we had an amazing dinner date afterwards and a month later on our 2nd year anniversary he gifted me the photos from the secret photographer he had hired to take photos of the proposal. and i didn't even know! it was the best gift in the world. Smiley smile

    i can't wait to marry the man of my dreams! <3

    I can relate to not being proposed to...I have been married twice and neither time did I get proposed to...granted the first time I at least did get a ring but this second time I didn't even get a ring either...I had to buy it myself. Then I had to buy both wedding bands. My dumbass husband's response, his response to everything, I've never done this before...I don't know what to do. It's not a happy marriage...when I was pregnant with my daughter and giving birth he didn't help, didn't get up with her at night when she cried in the hospital so I had to struggle to get up...I gave natural childbirth and was in a lot of pain the first day...he couldn't get up and go to the cafeteria and get my son breakfast so I had to get up and take my son down there, and then he had the nerve to say bring me back something, while HE slept. And nothing has changed, he still doesn't help with the kids, is non romantic...has no good qualities about him at all, he's insensitive, self centered, unloving...why do I stay you ask? I currently don't work and have no where to go, I gave up my apartment when we got together and moved, he was living at his mommy's house when we got together, he didn't give up anything, I've told him to move out and go back to mommy's and he won't and I've said you've got no reason to stay here, you don't contribute and you spend all your time talking about how we ruined your life so go...and he won't. Then as if I wasn't stupid enough I wanted another child, which I didn't get because he said no...to me, it should not be his decision but I feel that he robbed me of my third child because I am now too old to probably conceive and it was always said when we were together that we would have two kids together. So that's my story. I'm pretty upset and sad, I don't know why some women have such glamorous romantic lives, proposals and helpful husbands while some of us get the leftovers. I wish I could get better. Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, I'm not mean to him, I cook, clean, wash his clothes, I sit here alone every weekend when he goes fishing, I moved into the house where he wanted to live, right by his mommy and 30 miles away from mine and this house is a dump in every sense of the word. I get nothing ever, no presents, no card for birthday mother's day anniversary Christmas.

    Since we had kids (two his, one mine. 3, 9, 10 ... I was 22, he was 29) and had been dating almost a year one day I told him we should marry. He said why. I said well the kids for one. We married but he never asked me to marry him. The thing that helped him know he wanted to marry me was that if we married that weekend he could get out of National Guard duty. It hurt me he blew me off at first, then it hurt me later when I realized he didn't want to do it for me and the kids but to get out of duty that weekend (yeah, I'm slow). We've been married 40 years and I have been the most faithful, hardworking helpmate imaginable plus raised his kids for him (he had custody). Every year or so I'd tell him it hurt me he never asked. I even had to pay for my cheap little rings. He never has asked. Guess I'm supposed to not care but I do and I just can't help it. I was good to his mom, I always held down good jobs, I put up with kid exchange with his ex ... who always showed up late. I helped him in all his employments, almost like a secretary. Cooked, cleaned. Helped him with his college work while doing my own as well. I kinda blew it off over time but am still very angry at times. By the way, he couldn't care less about my feelings. My bad to ever have married him. Getting late in the day to keep bringing it up but I'm bitter as I can be.
