Hendrix's rifle Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 So my partner of 5 years and I have just bought a house together. Told her I'm getting a shotgun and a .270 or .308 to be met with 'not until everything's settled down'. Now she's been hinting at me proposing for a short while along with everyone else from her side of the family to everyone from my side. Was tempted when we move in to our new home so I said jokingly il propose but I'm buying a shotgun first to then be met with 'il buy the gun you buy the ring'. This was infront of my nan who thought it was a brilliant idea what are your thoughts please gents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 That sounds like a fair deal to me. I've seen wedding bands for around £100 in H Samuel's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manthing Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Seems like they all knew about this b4 you Just make sure you get to pick the gun after she's picked the ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team tractor Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 I've bought a 243 as we are trying for another baby . I knew I wouldn't get one after the next little one. It'll be number 4 lol. Funny tho that when the ex walked out on me I treated myself to a new 12g . I pay each month towards my children I had with her so money's always tight.

Harnser Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 I come from an era when men were men and women were glad of it . My darling wife would never impose (or try to impose ) any sanctions on me . She has been my best supporter on any thing that I have wanted to do . Mind you it does work both ways . After 50 odd years of marriage we do know each other . Harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuddster Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 I always compare love to a pack of cards..... in the beginning all you need is a pair of hearts and a diamond. but in the end, you'll wish you had a club and a spade. f. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Prawn Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 I've bought a 243 as we are trying for another baby. Dude try a nice meal and some romantic lighting! Conception at gunpoint seems pretty extreme even for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benthejockey Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Buying guns in our house is a bit like being gay in the army...I operate on a don't ask don't tell basis. That and make sure all your guns are either wood stocked or black/synthetic stocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrix's rifle Posted May 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Looks like I'm buying a ring in fairness to her she hasn't stopped me doing anything just asked if I could put it off until we get more money in the bank. Try and get out shooting twice a week and she doesn't bat an eye lid. Her birthday is next month so il plan something for Then, atleast if it goes wrong down the line I've ruined her bday :lol: I'd have asked anyway at some point but a shotgun seems like a good reason to ask, variation will be in the post in the morning.
