Many women are frustrated by long term relationships that have lingered on for years in many cases without their boyfriends asking them to get engaged. And other women who are engaged are just left waiting in vain for what seems like an endless eternity for the guy to pop the question of, will you marry me?
There are times that you feel that you have to bring this situation to a close one way or the other. This is when you feel that you have to give this guy an ultimatum.
Before you do this, you need to examine everything very carefully. Is this the only way that you can approach the situation? Is the relationship in such a state that you can risk this course of action.
The important thing to understand here is that you may not always achieve the results you have set out for yourself. You might not get the answer you've been waiting for as the plan can backfire on you.
Are you ready to live with the consequences of your actions? You see in many cases when a guy is pushed into a corner with having to make a quick decision with obvious long term implications, as well as testing his position in the relationship, he may very well just say that the relationship is over and move on.
When this happens you can only live with the decision that he has made and let the long term relationship that you have invested so much time and effort into just fade away as if nothing ever happened. Or you can take the other route and apologize and beg him to take you back. This is not a good way to continue your relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend or as an engaged couple and certainly not the best way to start a marriage when it doesn't finally come to that.
Once you give in to your position that you just stated you are immediately losing any power in the relationship. You take a lower role and give the decision making authority to the other partner. The partner sees you as the weaker half. The one incapable of making decisions or even holding to any decisions they have made.
A relationship of any kind has to based on firm ground and equal footing. If one of the partners always has the upper hand, there's a lopsidedness to the relationship. I mean it is all right for each of the individuals to compensate for the others weaknesses. This is what forms the basis of a strong and lasting marriage. But for one individual to always be seen as lower in the decision making process is not the way to go. Whatever you decide be prepared to live with your decision.
