I am going to take some heat in this thread. As some of you know (especially my facebook friends) I've fallen pretty hard for this gal I've been dating seriously for the past 6 months and longer causally. Well I've decided to propose to her next Friday (November 16th) the day before rifle season opens. She will be hunting in a box blind and I'm thinking about asking her to take a walk out to the blind to put some stuff in it and get it ready the day before. (I would never normally do this but I'll make an exception this year). I think the plan is to hang a sign of some type either near her blind or across the food plot asking her to marry me so its a surprise. So when we walk upon it there it is. I was also thinking about just putting a sign across the food plot and then sitting with her opening morning and then as it gets light she will see it. But that would compromise my opening day and I'd rather not do that. Plus we could enjoy the day more with it being Friday the day instead of opening day. Anyways I'm sorry for bringing bad news. Pretty lucky to find one that is so laid back about things and fun. Likes to hunt and fish. And was brought up that you never get in the way of a man's hunting time. Her dad installed that in her. So go ahead pile on.

As much as I'm sure we love to rib each other there are many happily married men on this site. If she makes you happy and gets along well with the kids then go for it. Have you discussed with the kids yet? Only you know if this is the right decision. Cool idea either way with how you're planning to propose. Just know that she's going to shoot a bigger deer than you...

3 of the following statement are completely insincere, and 1 is what I am really thinking.
Congratulations!
How lucky for you.
Wish my wife hunted and fished.
What the hell are you thinking?

6 months... I have seen folks hide a whole lot of bat-shit crazy for even longer than that. No way would I be taking that sort of plunge after 6 months... I would need YEARS to make sure she wasn't nuts! It's one thing to advance the relationship... but it sure would be nice to be able to just lock the door one day and be like... "Yep - I am done with her shit!".
Just remember why Divorced Barbie is more expensive than just Barbie...It's because Divorced Barbie comes with 1/2 of Ken's shit!!!!

Just know that she's going to shoot a bigger deer than you... My boys absolutely love her. I am going to tell them this weekend actually but I'm not worried about it. I've also discussed with her son and he fully supports it and says things have been so much better since I've been around. I took her boy to the rifle range and helped him shoot his AR last weekend. He had a blast. That is him in the background in the first picture.

How crazy can she be that she is a certified therapist and fixes other people that are nuts. LOL

Now the serious post... I am happily married (most of the time) so as long as you are confident in your decision - then do what makes you happy. I agree with making sure the kids are on board as well.
Congrats...

I’ll give my honest opinion.
You are a fool. I wouldn’t even consider it without years of time put in. J is right, a lotta crazy can be hidden for the amount of time you have known her.
She may be perfect. She may be great. If she is then she still will be 1-2 years from now.
You survived divorce #1 with your property intact. You won’t keep it if there is a second one. If she is so great, how about a prenup?

My first thought is this....
And then I bring out the big guns and move up to this...

I had a prenup with my second wife. My business partner skipped it and gave away about 60% of everything and then some.

LOL Just make sure you review the Crazy vs Hot index to understand what you may be dealing with....cause we all know she is crazy to at least some level... that's just the way god made them!
