Proposing to my boyfriend

[anamyishveggie]

I have been with my boyfriend Tim for about 5 years, and after about 2 1/2 he proposed to me. I accepted, but we later broke up, (I had a brief commitment-phobic bout, and i broke off the engagement:-() and separated for a few months. We have been back together and happier than ever for two years, and we constantly talk about getting married, but are not officially re-engaged. I don't really care about an engagement ring or any of that, but I would like to propose to HIM, to show him that I really do want to be with him forever and am no longer afraid of commitment. He's not a macho guy, and wouldn't feel belittled or anything by my proposing, but does anyone have any suggestions about this particular situation?

sure, go for it. good luck

[crazyhorse]

Yes. Do it.

He may be afraid to make another first move himself, in case he gets turned down again.

honey it sounds like a good idea but . it isnt you might end up resenting him. I had a friend get engaged and he propossed with a ring same sit
so they got back together and she was ok at first with out the ring but he told everyone this is my fiance for several months. never made an attempt to get a engagement ring and as it turned out the ring was her moms ring that he origanlly propossed with. so if yo do be aware what do being engaged really mean , do you just want him to know your not afraid of committment and ready for that step if you are then you should be able to tell him.

i say go for it. he may very well be apprehensive about proposing for a second time, especially since you were the one who broke it off after the first time.
