I''m thinking of proposing to my BF and I really need some feedback on this. Background-both in our 40''s. We''ve been living together for 10 years. Both have kids we''re raising together but are almost grown. Both had bad first marriages. Both been divorced over 10 years. Neither one of us wanted to get married again for quite a while. Now, here''s the situation. For the past year or so, I''ve been thinking that I''m finally ready to get married again. Not sure how he feels but lately he''s been calling me his "wife" and not snickering at it or anything. Had friends over a few months ago that we haven''t seen in about 5 years and she asked us why we weren''t married yet, she seemed shocked. He gave her the impression that I didn''t want to. I think he''s uncomfortable talking about the subject with me since we never really discussed getting married. We live our lives like we are already married so I''m thinking it would just be a "legal" thing if we do it.
Now the question. How do I bring up the subject that I''m finally ready, or do I just surprise him and propose? I was thinking of buying a man''s wedding ring and presenting it when I do. Plus, we have a trip to Vegas coming up in a month or so. Should I wait and do it there?
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!! I keep going around and around on this-should I or shouldn''t I?
