I was 16 years old when I met my husband-to-be. It took him four years before he made our relationship legal grin The diamond ring and the proposal was a complete surprise.

It depends on which country. In western countries seems never is the norm or when you both get around to it.

its coming back, a little, now.... I believe she proposed to me. That might explain it. I really don't recall giving my first wife an engagement ring...... that would have occurred about 35-years ago. dunno

Yes. The operative word in most of these posts is 'EX.' Perhaps we are not best suited to answer this question. laugh
