And she says yes? Were you once or twice or
three times or four times?

Would I be able to find anybody anybody who asked
and I don't mean got engaged to different people, but
asked their spouse and you may have been. You may
have gotten divorced since then, that's fine, But asked their
spouse to marry them and was told no. Asked again
(00:37):
and was told yes, or asked and was told no,
asked and was told no, asked and was told yes.

same person, the same person.
Speaker 1 (01:40):

Speaker 6 (01:59):

marry me?

don't want if they say no. If they if they
don't say yes, it's a no.

to Elliott eight six six two three five five four
(03:11):
six eight Hi Elliott in the.
Speaker 8 (03:13):
Morning, Hey Elliott.
Speaker 9 (03:15):
My mother made both the men who proposed to her
wait months before giving an answer, but.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
They only proposed once.
Speaker 10 (03:23):
Right.
Speaker 9 (03:25):
I don't know what happened in the intervening months. My
parents have been married for fifty five years.
Speaker 8 (03:29):
But like she, he proposed in the summer. She didn't
say yes till January.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Wow, Like, was was your previous boyfriend? Was your dad away?
Like fighting World War two or something?
Speaker 9 (03:41):
No, they were in school together, a previous boyfriend after
to marry him, and she waited so long that by
the time she went to give him.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
An answer, he withdrew it. I I'm not sure. I
don't want to marry you.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I get that, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
That's a little bit different than what I was looking for.
I love the story. Little bit different than what I
was looking for, but I'll take it. Thank you, sir,
thank you. Let me grab line two.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Hi, Elliet in the morning?
Speaker 8 (04:10):
Is this me?
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Who's this?
Speaker 8 (04:12):
Yes, sir, Hi, this is this is Randy down at
Quantico right now. But I had to ask my wife.
I was overseas, but I had to ask her three
times before she finally said yes.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
And now let me ask you this. So what what
did she say the first time?
Speaker 8 (04:34):
The first time she said, we didn't know each other
well enough. I'm a little bit older than she is,
and she she said, she, you know, we had a
great time going out and things, and it was a
lot of fun. But she was so young and she
was just having fun.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
God, what a kick in the balls. How long did
you wait?
Speaker 10 (04:56):
There's that hope though, where it's like, Whiston, we don't
know each other well enough?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, you know, but you know what, yes, as we
all sit here now, that's great perspective in the moment,
it's like, oh God, how.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Long did you wait before you asked? The second time?
Speaker 8 (05:15):
It was about six months, and we got to know
each other a lot more, spent a lot more time together.
And uh, and to be honest, she comes from a
pretty strict Catholic family and I think that had a
lot to do with it. And I was previously divorced,
and as I said, I'm a little bit older.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Right, So and what did she say the second time?
Speaker 8 (05:42):
The second time was a soft no, not yet still
still not sure?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
So and then how long how long before the third
time that you asked?
Speaker 8 (05:55):
Well, well, the third time was only about three months.
We had spent the holidays and stuff together. Was feeling
pretty sure this time, and uh, and then she had
gone home. We were overseas, she went home for a visit,
and it just kind of trailed off, and so I thought, okay,
(06:19):
I'll just give it the American baseball, you know, street
three strikes and you're out and then I can just
move on. So I just kind of offhandedly one night
we were out at dinner and I was just like, hey, uh,
you know, let's let's just get married. Are we gonna
(06:40):
do this? What's going on? And she said yes, Oh wow.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
The first I thought it was yeah, you thought it
was proposing.
Speaker 8 (06:49):
To get you know, three strikes and you're out. Now.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Two other questions, the first two like did you go
through like down on the one knee and the whole thing, kick.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Wright in the nuts, kick right in the nuts. Are
you still married?
Speaker 6 (07:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Good for You're good?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Good for you? All right, very good, thank you sir?
All right, we're at three. We're at three. We didn't
even get to two.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, and there were some people with stories for two.
But I guess we go right to three to three.
It does seem like step children or what could be
step children for some listeners is what leads to an initial.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
No, what do you mean? I don't I don't understand
that there.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Were some two timers. Then that sounds bad. That's probably
why they're divorced. No, there were some people who were
asked twice who at first didn't think it was right
yet for them and their children from a previous relationship.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I don't get it. I don't.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
You don't you don't get divorced because of your kids,
or you don't stay together for your kids, and you
don't you also have to be happy like if if
you didn't, if you did go on to marry them,
Clearly they were being good to your kids. If they
were horrible to your kids, you would you would have
said no.
Speaker 10 (08:06):
Yeah, but you don't a bunch, but you want to
put some time in because I always hate it when
people introduce like somebody that they're dating, like really soon
to their kids, because then it's like, then what if
they're gone in two weeks?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
No, I mean I haven't had to go through it,
so I don't know. I don't know how long I
would wait.
Speaker 10 (08:28):
Some people have like hard and fast rules, like I'm
going to date somebody a year before I even consider.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
But doesn't it also matter how old the kids are, Like,
my kids are old enough.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
If I was, it's Jackie and my situation, Yeah whatever it.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
And I was, you know, dating some new hot piece
of ass, I'd want the boys to see it and
be like, what dad's getting?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
And then can I read this story? It's not the
same thing at all, but it's somewhat loosely connected. Okay, Yes,
I accidentally took a coworker's virginity, so I felt that
and dated him for six months. Half a year in
he told me he was planning to propose. Oh my god,
I told him save your f and money, and he's
(09:08):
now married to a different coworker.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Oh wow, wow, ooh ooh like dating a coworker.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Totally cool with totally cool with it.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I don't know that I could knock the bottom out
of a virgin at work though, That would be that
would be rough.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
She said she had no idea.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, she found out that it was.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah, and then he fell for her.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Yeah. Well, trust me, I get it.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I get it because she felt bad and dated him. See,
you didn't like the step kids story about you.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
No, Well, I don't want it to be like so

four hold on within that same window of time a year.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Yes, Hi, give me the four, give me the four.

Four times over twelve months kept saying no, but they
recently broke it off for good.

Hi elliot in the morning. Hi is it f Yep,

Speaker 7 (12:58):
My husband post to me once a year for six
years before I said.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Yeah, shut up, are you serious?
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Yeah, this is Nikki and coming. I've talked to you
guys before.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Okay, but yeah.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
I met him in nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 8 (13:14):
He was supposed to be.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
At one night stand. We ended up dating, and then
he started asking me to marry him, and I was
not ready to be married a third time.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Oh yeah, exactly.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
I had two huge fowls.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Were you his first turtle?
Speaker 7 (13:35):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
Our first date lasted three days?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Oh hell yeah? Someone puts out.
Speaker 7 (13:44):
Oh, I came out of a bad marriage and I.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Was going mild.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
I got no problems with that. Hey, so let me
ask you this.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
So he gets down on one knee and he professes
his love for you, and you said no.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
Actually, what I said was, are you kidding? After everything
I went through with the last one? Do you think
I want to do this again? But I got to
give him credit because he's stuck with it.
Speaker 8 (14:07):
He did what finally?
Speaker 7 (14:09):
And we've now been together ever since?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
See I like to hear that what what? What finally
made you change your mind? On the sixth?
Speaker 7 (14:16):
Ask well, by that point i'd been with him so
long we already started calling each other husband of mine?
Speaker 1 (14:24):
So right, right, okay, that's fine. All six Did he
get down on his knee or like, would he just
go hey, it's been a year about now.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
My knees are getting bad now.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
Actually he did try to make it special each time.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
Fortunately he never.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
Did it on Malentime's Day because that would have been
uncomfortable when I said no, right, we ended up. Actually
the time I said yes was after a long, extensive playtime.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Oh very good, very good.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
How about a little?
Speaker 4 (14:58):
And I bet he was like, what really kuddling?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (15:03):
All right, very very good, Thanks you man.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
I don't think he expected me to say yes at
that point, and he was completely shocked when I did no.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
But it worked. Good for you, good for you, it did.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Yes, crazy matches mine. Crazy. We're great together.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Perfect, perfect, Thank you, ma'am. You know what's wrong?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
So six six you know, you know, you know where
I struggle in my head. But I love Jackie. Obviously,
if she would have said no, I think I punted.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I think most people would.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Is it a pride issue or is that just a
self esteem issue?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
That's a good question. I don't know, Like I asked.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Somebody out to beg or you're too worried that they
would say no again? And then it's.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Maybe is it what comes with it? Like if Jackie
would have said no, I'm just not ready yet.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Oh you mean, what comes with the reason.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yeah, it's still the only word I hear is no.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Right.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I feel like it would for you affect the relationship
moving forward.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I'll tell you what, if we were on vacation, it
would have been a crap into the vacation.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
That the first time I heard her say yes in
a while, yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
No, I would not be pleasant to be around for
a while. I'd be angry. Angry line too, Hi Elliott
the morning, Yeah, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 6 (16:30):
I always I would never say that if I got through,
but I guess I did. I'm Chris calling for Jaredsville.
So I probably at the same amount of time fifty
to sixty times spake proposed to my wife just the
kind of one freaker out, but also figure out what
she would how should actually be proposed? Like we were
hiking at a king you see, with a bunch of
people around, and I'm like, you know, there's a beautiful
setting then here right now with the woods and the rocks.
(16:52):
I start getting down on one knee and she smacked me.
Think up up, stand up, stand up, stand up, And
I'm like, okay, well, never mind. One time we were
in Seattle with the space needle and I said the
same go on the same lines. I was like, man,
this is a beautiful view and such a beautiful trip.
I couldn't think of any better way now to end it,
and started kind of getting down on one knee and
stantic thing again where she's uh smacking me on the
(17:13):
shoulder saying, shut the f up, shut the fop, stand up,
don't don't do that, don't do that. So probably about
eight months later, I proposed in our backyard with this
whole candles and beautiful you know, edison involved and nice light,
steaky torches, and I couldn't get her out the back
door as she didn't want to kind of follow through
with her stuff. Proposed in our back room or one knee.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Now, let me ask you this, like whether it was
in Seattle or hiking if she if she would have
said yes, Like were you you were prepared for her
to say yes, you got.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Down on a knee.
Speaker 6 (17:46):
Oh yeah, I mean I that was almost a fake
getting on one knee. But I mean I actually I
had the ring. I mean it was kind of lay
away to a degree, but I mean the ring was there.
It was I knew I was going to do it. It
was just more so, uh, finding what what kind of
setting and what mood should I'd be doing this in
a bunch of people, not a bunch of people. The
romanic dinner and the cakes of the champagne that she
drinks or eats, you know, that type of thing. But
(18:07):
I was ready if you said yes, and you were
ready a little bit more shocked, I was.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Ready to go yeah, no, good for you.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Turns out probably doesn't seem like she's a very public person.
She'd rather be at home in that back room.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
Yeah, I mean that there's a step far as I
was kind of I think I had my neel wanted
like tax strips for the carpets. So it kind of
really hurt after a while. And I'm looking, so you're
gonna give me an answer, what's up?
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Are you two still together?
Speaker 7 (18:30):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Yeah, happily married. Would be seven years this fall, and
uh yeah together at ten.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Good for you. Good for you, all right, dude, I
appreciate it. Thank you. I don't even know what number
that gets.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Well what did he say? Like fifteen sixteen times?
Speaker 4 (18:44):
That's a lot, but just for yeah, so that that
I love it. But I'm not going to give that
a hard number.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Mine one.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Hi Ellie in the morning, this mood. Yeah, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 13 (19:03):
Ah, it's Trevor and Richmond.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
What do you got?
Speaker 8 (19:07):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
So my ex I proposed ten times in the course
of about twelve thirteen years, and she finally said yes
on the last one. And then within three months of
trying to plan the wedding, I realized that I was
the only one doing anything about the relationship and really
cared and then we ended.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I'm sorry, that's just that's not what I expected. That's
an uncomfortable laugh. That's an uncomfortable laugh.
Speaker 13 (19:31):
Oh no, no, now I laugh at it.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 13 (19:34):
That's thirteen years in my life.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
I should have been doing something different.
Speaker 13 (19:37):
But now it's it's something I look back on and
it says, man, you gotta really step back sometimes, right
And by.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
The way, you didn't waste your life. You didn't waste
your life. You're you were better for the experience.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Yeah, he bailed before the wedding exactly. Hey, so so
it doesn't count in the.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
In the what'd you say ten times in thirteen years? Yeah,
inbout once a year would.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
She tell you during that time, like when you would propose,
she would just say no.
Speaker 13 (20:06):
I mean basically, it was just we still got a
lot of learning to do and whatnot and wanted to
spend our lives together, but just didn't want to get married.
So you know, I was just going along with it.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Did you I should have asked everybody this.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Did you ever like talk to her parents about, like, hey,
I'm gonna propose to whatever her name was?
Speaker 12 (20:27):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (20:28):
No, she did not get along with her parents at all.
Speaker 13 (20:30):
They were hardcore religious, and I think that might have
honestly been part of what she wasn't real crazy about
marriage in the first place.
