I don't thin 6 years is too long. If you both are happy with your current situation don't change it. As you know, I've been with B for 4 years and marriage is the furthest thing on my mind right now.

Most of the people I know who got married discussed it beforehand so it was not some big secret that they were getting engaged. Maybe the timing, but the rest of it was discussed. If you have discussed it and are happy waiting then that's all that matters. Plus, ideally it should never be about the ring. It should be about making a commitment to each other. 6 years is a long commitment already. Longer than some marriages!Miz JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416250760689332164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18002888.post-49961317779957598762007-07-02T20:05:00.000-04:002007-07-02T20:05:00.000-04:00West, you shouldn't ask such questions of a group ...West, you shouldn't ask such questions of a group of ladies unless you have already purchased the ring. As a dude, I say yes it's too long, but then again misery loves company. OK, I'm far from miserable. Marriage like so many other things has it good and bad points but in my opinion the good outweigh the bad. The question I always ask guys is can you see your life without her?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18002888.post-45955901998222318562007-07-02T14:17:00.000-04:002007-07-02T14:17:00.000-04:00Thanks, ladies.Since a couple of you alluded to ma...Thanks, ladies.<BR/><BR/>Since a couple of you alluded to marriage (and then some), do you feel six years is or would be "too long" for you to be with someone, without the ring?<BR/><BR/>Just curious.Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06305755944694741335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18002888.post-44551705086973861832007-07-02T11:55:00.000-04:002007-07-02T11:55:00.000-04:00That truly speaks to the virtue of patience.
