Should I or shouldn't I?
Poll Should I or shouldn't I?I've been thinking... yes, that's what the burning smell is, my brain cells.
Seriously now, I was thinking whether I should propose or not.
My reasoning is as follows:
a) Dear Heart already sort-of proposed, last year;
b) he wants me to go back ASAP;
c) the only way I could stay legally is getting married;
d) I'm the sort of woman who takes matters into her own hands.
A part of me wants him to do it but I don't know if he's actually given it any serious thought lately. Besides, he might be thinking of just living together, which I wouldn't mind if it weren't for the immigration thing.
Also, I need to sit down with him and discuss a lot of things before we take that step: living arrangements, work, family planing, financial planning (three guesses as to who's going to manage the money in this partnership) and in-case-of-something-bad-happening plans.
There's also the matter of whether to celebrate it or just elope. If we do throw the party, that's a whole other kettle of stinking fish I'll have to deal with later.
What I want deep down is to just drag him off somewhere... cave-girl instincts, I suppose.
So, what do you think?
