v-day hax chat q: she's told him it's time to fish or cut bait about marrying her. he says he didn't realize she was waiting for a proposal!

Arlington, Va.: Last week on our fourth anniversary, my girlfriend (we're both 36) told me she can no longer wait for me to propose and that if I'm not ready to get married she will have to break up with me. Silly me, I had no idea she -was- waiting. I would like a year or two more to remain single but I don't think she will wait that long. I understand she has bio-clock considerations to think about (she had trouble conceiving when she was married before and is afraid it will get worse in her late 30s) but I think it's unfair that I should be subjected to this ultimatum without any fair warning. What do you think we should do?
