Everyone has their own outlook on whether or not they plan to get married but one way or another, they should be in a relationship where both parties agree. Ultimatums might be a powerful negotiation tool, but they are not the bedrock of a lasting partnership.

    I wish more women felt empowered to forego the tradition of waiting for the man to propose. If you know what you want, just say it. Have a conversation and move forward. Don't leave the timeline of your life in someone else's hands, especially if you both aren't on the same page.

    Doesn't sound like either of them are mature enough for marriage

    ESH - you for stringing her along, her for trying to push it. Are either of you actually ready for marriage?
