Question

How will I know if he is getting ready to pop the question?

Community Answer

When he's talking about the future, be sure he says "we" and "us" instead of just "me" or "I".

Question

Is it right to make love after being proposed to?

Community Answer

Yes, because romance and emotions are in the air. It must be consensual though.

Question

What happens if I lose my ring?

Community Answer

Losing a ring is normal; it can happen to anybody. Tell your fiance/husband about it and apologize. Most rings come with some form of insurance that can be used to replace it.

Question

How do I tell someone I'll do my best when proposing marriage?

Community Answer

It can be as simple as, "You know, I don't know what the future holds and I don't know if everything will go as planned, but I do know that as long as I have you in my life, everything will be perfect."

Question

How do I know if someone is going to ask me for marriage?

Community Answer

Look for 'subtle' hints... if they say things like "this would be a perfect home for a married couple," then they're definitely thinking about it. Your friends may also be involved - if they start asking questions like "What is more romantic, a ring in a glass or a shell?", then your partner is probably asking them to give out hints.

Question

How to ask about prior love affairs with a partner before marriage?

Community Answer

If both of you are comfortable, then it is okay to ask. Demanding to know about the past is not nice. Open up about your past, or crush or anything in this regards and then nudge them to share about any deep relationships. It feels relieving to share. If it creates fear or worry about how you'll react, they may not want to share. Share your motives behind asking, like being able to let it go once and for all, moving on, knowing them better, etc. And keep it dignified, no matter what the truth.
