I have a friend that wants to propose to her boyfriend after 3.5 years together. Both work full-time and live together. Relationship seems to be strong, but she is tired of waiting on him to pop the question. I think it may blow up on her face. Thoughts?

If he says yes, she should allow it in my opinion.

Very very bad idea. If he wants to get married, he probably would've done it. She just needs to start talking with him about marriage.
I don't think I could ever say yes in that situation even if I was ready to get married.

I see who wears the pants in that relationship.
Women shouldn't propose, it's just not right.

I'm not a stickler for tradition but proposals should always come from the man. This is a horrible idea.
If he hasn't proposed yet he doesn't want to get married. We men are simple creatures.

She's better off being more "female" in her diplomacy. Sneaky and underhanded, in other words. She needs to simultaneously start dropping hints and get a mutual friend to let him know that he's going to lose her if he doesn't step up.
If she proposes and he says yes and they go through with it she will forever remember the way it went down and he will pay for this. Dearly and beyond death if she can help it.

Does the male friend wear skinny jeans and a beanie of some sort, regardless of the weather?

Happened to a guy I knew in college. She even bought the ring and gave it to him to put on her finger.
They're still married 15 years a later as far as I know.

I can see this going badly.
She just needs to sit him down and have the "so where are we going with this?" talk. Which really isn't unreasonable 3.5 years in.

This is a great way to kick a man's inner caveman in the junk.

Probably shouldn't propose, but after 3.5 years, she should probably have the "shite or get off the pot" conversation.

Why wouldn't she just get pregnant and trap his arse like any other normal woman would do?

I see this "proposal" as the "shite or get off the pot" discussion.
If it ends the relationship, then it's time to get off the pot already.
"It's a bold move Cotton, let's see if it works..."

Maybe they have discussed marriage? OP doesn't really say too much, but I would think two well established individuals who have been together 3.5 years would have already discussed the future of their relationship. My SO and I have - we haven't talked marriage, but we have both said we are committed to making it work and that we are in it for the long haul. We've been together about 2 years now.

So is he going to take her name too?

The sooner they get married, the sooner they'll be history. Live-in relationships followed by marriage never make it.
