“It’s not because I’m in love.” ??? The rest of it flowed wonderfully, but that start was a dark cloud over the whole thing. What does that translate to? “I’m not in love, I just want a shared workload”?
At 40ish w/ 2 girls, one a teen already, she need help. I think Mark is in love with her at some level. He’s always admired her, but he’s had a chance to see her as she is, and where she’s at now, and he’s STILL willing to make a commitment to help her out. If it ain’t Love, it’s at least very deep friendship, and that can be worth a whole lot more than love.Reid (a 50ish guy married 30 yrs).
This was pretty much the way it happened for us. We were in the grocery store and I was explaining to him how I needed to move out as I was just a new babe in Christ and didn’t want to live like that. After 3 months of knowing each other…he said, well we could get married.. I said, “That’s a thought”
Thanks for the Firefox hints, Saxie5..worked perfectlyThat proposal was so PERFECT it’s even making me reconsider my “single forever” vow. My criteria has always been, is it more fun being with him, or without him? Men can be such whiners when I’m crawling through swamps in the rain taking bird photos.
Don’t misunderstand Mark – he’s not saying that he doesn’t love her, or even that he’s not in love with her, but that that is not why he is proposing. Being in love isn’t always the best reason for proposing.

“….but the answer is no. I have two daughters to raise and we can’t fit into your tiny apartment.” :D :D :D :D

If you right-click on it, then select: “Save picture as,” you can view the whole thing normally.

Or right-click (control-click for Mac users) and select “copy image location” and paste the link into a new browser tab.

Diogenes, The Caps Lock key is on the left side of your keyboard, between Shift and Tab. It would be nice if you learned how to use it.

Thank you, Edcole1961. I really wanted to see the ending of the proposal!

He’s saying he is in love, and he is lonely, but on top of that there are all these other good reasons to get married!
