How long were you together before you started talking about marriage?

[caterpillar-girl]

How long were you together before you started talking about settling down? Not just the formal proposal, but even just talking about it. My bf and I have been together for a year and we have NEVER talked about it. (Once lang, when he joked that "Pag kasal na ba tayo, mommy at daddy na ang tawagan natin sa isa't isa?" Something dumb like that. To which we both laughed because it sounded funny  We never talked about anything related to us getting married ever again) I think it's still early in the game... or is it? I have friends who started talking about getting married na 3 months palang sila. I would like to know my options of course, but I'm not rushing. I just want to know the "industry standard" if there is one

less than a month

[caterpillar-girl]

^Wow!

[xxxloixxx]

We're not even "on" yet but we both know we like each other. Sa showbiz lingo: exclusively dating! hehe. But he talks about it a lot lalo na lately...hmmm

[carmilina]

^same here

[mariedairy]

^Wow!

kasal siya sa relihiyon nila noong time na makilala ko siya ngunit simula noong kami ay nagkadevelopan , less than a month kami mag - on nung nagdecide siya na magsama kaming dalawa. noong una akala ko nagbibiro lang , pero habang tumatagal naramdaman ko na seryoso na siya. pinakilala na niya ako sa magulang niya, kapatid, at kamag - anak at sinasama na rin ako sa mga pagdiriwang ng family niya sa probinsya. Tanggap ako ng family niya at suportado sa kalokohan namin dalawa. Kakunchaba namin yung mom sa ginagawa namin. Dahil sabi nga ng mom niya, first time niya makita ang anak niya na napakasaya at seryoso. First time magmahal ang anak niya ng ganun sa babae and ako ang kauna-unahang babae na pinaglalaban. Ako naman si ogags, na touch ng lubusan.  Hindi kasi talaga mahal ng asawa ko yung ex-wife niya, nabuntis lang niya, at pinakasalan dahil because of his biyenan. May communication pa din naman with his children, kasi mahal namin yun kids, pero not the ex-wife.

He talks about you spending the rest of your life with each other? Ayos ah.  How do you feel about that? Ikaw din you can imagine yourself getting married to him this early?

[xxxloixxx]

I guess we both are in the stage of our lives na we're both ready na and kasi we've known each other for years already but we never dated before because we both were committed to our exes then. I do like him a lot but I guess no marriage plans for me pa this early...  Bahala na...

[sweetscience]

Nung naka-graduate na kami and nagka-work.. that was 3 years ago.. napag-uusapan ni passing lang.. pero recently lagi na kasi marami na kaming friends na kinakasal.. he's yet to propose..

ON Topic:
7-9 months siguro bago kami nag usap about it. wala lang. pangarap lang. haha

[aya_chan]

3 years as far as i can remember.

[asia711]

On the second day of our relationship! Seriously! I laughed, akala ko nagjojoke lang siya, yun pala seryoso!

 

ngayon formally engaged na kami...


@mariedairy: parang pareho tayo ng kwento, minus the part with the ex-wife and kids nga lang hehe. kung saan2x na rin ako bigla dinala at pinakilala, wala pa kaming one month nun! haha.

[yellowscrubs]

My partner and I are so madly in love that we have been talking about marriage after four months of dating. 

Wish us luck!

[caterpillar-girl]

^ Wow!! That's great! Best wishes asia711 and yellowscrubs!!

Asia711, how long have you been together na?

I guess meron talagang ganoon, mabilis. And then meron like mine, jusko, ambagal. Hindi ko nga alam kung mabagal lang, or talagang, never na! My parents got engaged after only 6 months of dating. And in less than 6 months they got married. Today, Jan. 5, is their 34th wedding anniversary   Fairy tales do come true talaga for some people ano? Hay.

[asia711]

^ thanks sis! almost a year na but we got engaged 4 mos. into our relationship pa lang. Don't worry sis, time will come. Maybe for now he's just not yet ready to commit sa ganung level ng relationship, kumbaga wala pa siya siguro sa marrying stage. But it doesn't mean he loves you any less, diba? Malay mo, malapit na siya dumating sa stage na yun kasi nagagawa na niyang magjoke tungkol dun e hehe.

And for us naman na "mabilis", nagkataon lang yun sis na bago pa lang kami pumasok sa relationship ay "ready" na talaga sila to settle down.

Anyway, i am sure you will find your fairy tale ending like your parents did, someday... Patience is a virtue!:)

[asia711]

and by the way, don't worry sis may mas malala akong kwento sa'yo...

One year na kami ng ex ko nun dati... linoloko na kami ng mga kaibigan namin kung kailan kami ikakasal... bigla ba naman sinagot niya:

"KASAL? ANONG KASAL? WALA YUN SA BOKABULARYO KO."

in front of me niya pa yan sinabi ha... ansama diba... buti nalang hiniwalayan ko siya at nahanap ko prince charming ko.

i'm sure naman sis na hindi ganito sitwasyon niyo... mas ok na yung hindi niyo pagusapan kaysa tulad sakin na harap harapan sabihin na never kami ikakasal hahahaha...

Ang mean naman ng ex mo sis. sana binatukan mo agad. haha

Kami ni H2B nagstart ng formal planning August last year lang, 11 months palang kami nung time na nagplano kami.

[orangerain]

Simula pa lang ng relationship namin, he talked about it na but I wasn't on that level yet. It was when he gave me a ring on our second year that I started thinking about it as well and we started to talk about it more often. We're on our fourth year and we're getting married.

[norms]

i think after one year na namin.

[ashleyhan]

been together for 6 years when we started planning about the wedding. Been married for almost 2 years, and now planning for the annulment....what a roller coaster ride. BTW, Its gonna be our 2nd wedding anniversary on Feb 24! It sucks
