I'm almost 6 months pregnant and he KNOWS that I was never interested in marriage.... until recently. I realize just how much I love him. He's my homemaker, housewife and my everything when I get home from a long day of work. I manage a large portion of a company and have just recently been too sick to function. He has nursed me and been by my side the entire time, never leaving me for more than a few minutes at a time (he has to shower and go to the bathroom afterall.) We're a solid foundation together, and now that I'm feeling better (and I have a ring).. I want to do it. I'm going to ask him to marry me. How do you think I should go about doing it? Something romantic, he loves that sort of thing. Oh, and healthy food and dessert dishes, we're both health nuts. Tips? Recipes? Thank you, I really appreciate it.

one night you should tell him to take it easy, and you should cook like your favorite meal, and then pop the question.....make it a speech tell him "He's my homemaker, housewife and my everything when I get home from a long day of work. I manage a large portion of a company and have just recently been too sick to function. He has nursed me and been by my side the entire time, never leaving me for more than a few minutes at a time (he has to shower and go to the bathroom afterall.)

I want to do it." its very much from the heart i can tell, good luck sweety with everything and congrats on the baby!!

Almost 6 months pregnant, well girlfriend you need to sit your guy down and say to him, we have a big day coming up and I think we should do the right thing before that big day arrives and just go and get married. No hoopala until after the baby is born. Either go for a very quiet civil ceremony or a very quiet religious ceremony. Then after the baby is born you can celebrate with a party to introduce your baby to your family & friends and let them know that the 2 of you are "legally" husband and wife. No need to try having a party or celebration to tie the knot, that will just make your family & friends talk about you trying to beet the baby's arrival. A quiet ceremony until the big day when you bring a new life into the world then you have reason to celebrate...

Housewife? Hmmm... anyways. Try and make it sweet. Talk to him now to see about his feelings. See what his stand on marriage is and see how you can incorporate that into popping the question.
Me? Well I am all about the surprise factor. Take a picture of yourself with his friends and family holding up a sign that says "will you marry me _____?"
Put it into a cute frame, and put it in the freezer. Ask him to get you a glass of ice water, with ice cubes. When he goes to the freezer he will open it up and see the picture. Then you come up behind him and propose.
good luck with your proposal... But just a side thought here- according to what you wrote, he is doing MOST of the woman things, maybe he might want to ask you himself and take more of a manly stance.
But if you are comfortable and know he is the one- then there is no reason why you shouldnt ask.

Incorporate something significant from how you met. Like, if you met at a club, recreate something from there. Not the whole place, but maybe the music and if the place had a cool name, you could do something with that.
You mentioned sports and pregnancy, so it's probably not comfortable for you to do something with that, but maybe?
What does he like? If it's sports, consider the score board proposal, or have the announcer say something during a game. It might take some planning, but he will be blown away.

at the beginning, BREATHE. ok now, do you get this sense when you consider which you quite are in love or consistent with hazard you're only so delicate that it sounds like love. specially circumstances as people we would somewhat stay in a topic it is undesirable, or that we dont like only because of the fact we are familiar with it or we expect of we cant do better or we are frightened of exchange or we only dont decide to be on my own, or worse yet, the different guy or woman has confident us that we desire them. so which you're able to desire to ask your self is this certainly one of those situations? Step 2, that's enormous that he asked you back, yet ask your self what his motives could be. Is he lonely, is he feeling a similar way you're. heavily this would sound like infants stuff yet re-marriage isn't any shaggy dog tale. that's a extreme step. previously you do something rash i could advise which you initiate relationship him back directly and seeing the way it is and then perhaps shifting in back for a at a similar time as and then if all of it nonetheless feels good then you definately remarry. it is the try good there. If he's extreme then he will wait and see to start the relationship technique yet back, i'm not saying to make him leap by way of hoops yet only like the 1st time you're able to desire to get to comprehend one yet another yet back and marriage won't do this for you. You dont decide to excite your son then have this blow up good? So act and behave as though this have been the 1st time. Date, pass in, Marry. Oh Yeah, dont be too rapid to leap in mattress. i'm not saying you should be mom Theresa yet the two certainly one of you should carry out for a minute, only like the 1st time. that's greater for you and the relationship. If he's affected person by way of all of this, it provides you with the two time to verify if those thoughts are actual. If he insists on skipping those needed factors then he has yet another reason and it heavily isn't a solid one.

hmmmm
make a nice candle lit dinner, put 2 tall candles in the center of the table and then in the center of those put a small bowl (with the ring box or just the ring in it, and put a pretty napkin over it with a large flower on top without the stem) Like a carnation or a fully bloomed rose.
ask him to dance to his fave slow song, and at the end while the music is slowing down say:
"Could I please have this dance for the rest of my life"?
And WHEN he says yes, give the bowl to him, and have him look inside.

Marriage is something that you can take your time in doing...believe me, being married is definitely going to change your relationship and you will more than likely begin to aggrivate each other sooner or later. If I could relive my life I would have gotten married after being engaged for at least 5 years. Instead I rushed into it and as a result the little stuff we did for each other has seemed to die down. When your married...you begin to realize that this person is going to be with you until death do you part. You will constantly run into different things that will try and break you guys up. Marriage does a mind job on you...In my opinion, I think you should take your time in getting married. You should let him be the one to propose to you...if he hasn't asked you then maybe you should just drop hints in a way that your mind set has changed since you are having a baby soon. GOD Bless.

Now that you've held a gun to our heads for an answer, I'm wondering why someone who manages a large portion of a company can't think up a proposal on her own. Is the stress of being in charge of the whole french fry making section at Burger King getting to you?

How about this: photoshop your ultrasound picture together with pictures of each of you. Frame the picture and give it to him. Say, "This is our family. This is how I want to spend the rest of my life, and I want everyone to know it."
What do you mean you have a ring? You're going to give him an engagement ring? Hmm, obviously you know him better than any of us, but personally I'd say that sounds not cool. I understand why you're asking him, especially since in the past you've basically told him not to ask you, but that's too much.

Take him out for dinner, then go some where you both like to go to be alone, then ask him if he really loves you, when he says how much he loves you, ask him to marry you, and take it from there... Happy Wedding. CHEERS
