I've only ever asked my ex wife and obviously she said yes. (17years)

I would like to ask the question one more time in my life.

I was asked once by a girl I dated. She knew I would'nt ask so she did, I said no. Fast forward 15 years we ran into each other at a store and now we are getting married next June. I guess she knew best.

I asked my former wife, and my current wife asked me. Other than that - no, didn't ask, didn't get refused.

I asked, got a yes and then it broke off about four mos. later. My wife didn't ask me, but sort of gave me the marriage utimatum. I declined and we were apart for a short while before I got religion. We've been married for four yrs. now. The ex to whom I was engaged is now divorced with a baby - smoking hot MILF, but unhappy and I'm soooo glad it worked out the way it did for me.

Weird thing is I met my (now wife) when I was 52... and never even thought of asking anyone else.

I proposed to her in 2009 on the Redondo Beach pier... she said yes and we walked away... then she stopped, looked at me, and said "what do you think I was going to say?".

Then we laughed!

If only my first wife had refused, man that would have saved me a lot of headaches.

legion · 09-15-2011, 11:02 AM

Nope. Don't even know anyone who has asked and been refused.

repp · 09-15-2011, 11:49 AM

The end.

My 2nd wife asked me to marry her. Dumbest fkng thing I ever did in my life was I said yes.

We were married for 7 yrs, 3 wks, 2 days, 9 hrs and 17 min. I noted the time when I opened the mail that said the divorce was final. That was the only time I ever considered getting a tat - those numbers, on my ass.

The first 2 yrs were...umm, acceptable, then it rapidly went downhill and we had a Plutonic relationship for the remaining 5 years; not Platonic, Plutonic - she treated me like a dog.

I was so smitten (and maybe a bit too much beer) with my wife the night I met her, I popped the question as a joke. Of course she thought I was nuts, but started to date soon after that night. Fast forward four years, and now she is getting the itch to tie the knot! Said "you shot me down the first time, so I am scared to ask" She would bug me for a ring every chance she could, until I couldn't take it anymore! Today is our 28th anniversary! I have never looked back at all, and can say I am very happy with the way our lives have turned out.

epbrown · 09-16-2011, 05:55 PM

Worse than "No," and I got a "No" then a "Yes" when things didn't work out with the next guy. To this day she hates my guts.

Ask Schumi. Sad story.

Schumi · 07:39 PM

Just about to say that...

I asked, got a very timid 'yes'.

Over 5 months of this strange sorta engagement, that yes turned into a no.

I literally know the exact time and place I had the happiest moment of my life, when she said yes. We were sitting in a sandbox in the town park under some swingsets at 1:30AM. It was June 10th. A thursday.

When I dropped her off at the airport as she left me last October, definitively one of the saddest.
