Who asked who out?
I don’t know how to answer that one…not sure he ever asked me out.
Who proposed?
I did.
Alright Muffy Willowbrook, you asked for it!!
We moved in together in November 2000. We had had a conversation 6 mos into our relationship about our level of commitment and how we were in this for the long haul. This is a discussion that neither of us wanted to have, however, it happened as my living situation was changing and his needed to change. So we decided that we would live together knowing that inevitably we would one day marry. Even though I, in my most conservative way, had proclaimed that I would not live with anyone prior to marriage.
I remember "the proposal" vividly. It was not so much a proposal as a rhetorical question in only the way that I can ask such question. It was a Saturday morning and we were just hanging about. I was standing over our table shuffling papers and said, quite matter of fact, "Are we going to get married this year ?" To which he replied, "Yes."
No man had it easier. We planned the most beautiful wedding in just 7 months.
Who is more sensitive?
Me, hands down.
