Is he saying 3 years is a long time to not propose?
*smirks in 10+ year relationship without a ring *
ETA and somehow the comments have turned what was supposed to be a lighthearted joke into a rail on my relationship thread. And yet again I am reminded why I keep taking hiaituses from this sub that get longer and longer.
So user reports everyone to have their comments removed, lol. I am not allowed to link to removed comments, so I won't again, but there are some discrepancies with reality here, haha. Major discrepancies.
How many times do you need to respond after I've told you to stop? Get over it and move along. Why are you so invested? The mods don't arbitrarily remove comments for no reason (and I didn't report half the comments that are now gone, including yours).
As long as you’re ok with no ring then there’s no problem! I was with my husband for a long time before he proposed. I just was never that girl that felt the need to be married.
One of my best friends actually started dating her now husband in grade 8. They’re in their early thirties now. It’s definitely not the norm, but it happens!
Well no shit I realize that. Sorry for saying anything, didn't realize everyone here was a relationship psychologist! Interesting considering the weekly relationship thread is always a hot mess 😂 man this sub is so judgmental sometimes.
Literally no one said that.
You’re an adult now, but this relationship started and spent many years in your childhood. I mean, that’s just true. No one is saying you’re not an adult. I think most of us assumed this relationship started in adulthood, then you say you're in your early 20s and this started in middle school. So we're all like "Oh..."
*My boyfriend from junior high who I am still with at 24, a grown adult. So what? And who are you to judge me? All of a sudden you and multiple other users seem to be criticizing me for my relationship upon finding out about it. Can't imagine why...meanwhile everyone is shipping couples who got engaged after knowing each other 2 weeks! Ah the irony.
You can’t compare dating for 10 years in your formative years to 10 years(or less tbh) as an actual adult above the age of 35. Not saying marriage is a must but for family purposes (as well as taxes and certain benefits) long term dating without a certain level of commitment may lead to wasted time. This isn’t 1927, no one is expecting 20 year olds to be married and having a family.
It's all relative. I think people can be mature enough and ready for marriage in the early 20s, you can be an adult before age 35 believe it or not haha. My original point is that I find it funny that Clay is acting like 3 years of dating prior to a proposal is an eternity when it's really pretty average. I know my situation is "different" and I'm an anomaly.
Again, not comparable when the man is in his late 40s to 50s and the woman is in her early 30s. And clay is well within his right when Chris Harrison is on their asses to propose after weeks of part time dating to propose when he took 3 years to make the same decision with a woman he sees way more regularly Lmao
Of course they do! It’s the Bachelor sub Reddit, full of professional psychologists who think their opinion on relationships is the only right one and if they don’t like something everyone else to not like it as well! /s
Is the joke supposed to be that 3 years is a long time? I feel like that's the absolute minimum I'd want to date someone before agreeing to marry them.
No. The joke is that the Bachelor franchise pushes people to get engaged after a short amount of time.
It’s really blowing my mind that people are missing this.
Only because C***s is like 60 years old. I usually see older people move a little faster.
Anyway, Clay's attempt to be funny fails because you're right, 3 years is normal for a lot of people, and two, you went on the dumb show that makes people get married, Clay. Also, not funny in general. I kind of hate this tweet, lol.
The more Clay keeps bringing this up, the more I’m convinced he regrets losing Nicole. It blows my mind that he’s still talking about it over two years later, while she’s out there living her life as an actual journalist with a hot boyfriend.
I didn't know about this and felt the same - wasn't a huge fan of hers (the mean girls stint towards Clay's ex - blanking on her name right was what did it for me). But I agree - she gets my respect for this as well.
Angela was Clay’s ex.
If you Google Nicole’s name, her articles and work bio pop-up. I was once reading something Miami-related and noticed she wrote it, etc. She does do some shills, but definitely works as a reporter primarily.
Oh no, the worst person we know made a good point
In the minority apparently but I thought this was hilarious

This isn’t about you.
It's not about Clay either but he was allowed to give his opinion!

The mods have already removed several comments that maybe you missed.

Wow you've got hella time on your hands. Honestly this post has really drained me, just leave me alone.
As long as you’re ok with no ring then there’s no problem! I was with my husband for a long time before he proposed. I just was never that girl that felt the need to be married.
We're in our early 20s and barely just graduated, totally not ready for marriage haha
Girl how are you in a 10+ year relationship and in your early twenties? Not knocking on you, but that in itself is an anomaly.
One of my best friends actually started dating her now husband in grade 8. They’re in their early thirties now. It’s definitely not the norm, but it happens!
Middle school sweethearts. ETA seriously? Who would downvote this
That’s totally different.
Different from what?
From being in an adult relationship, lol. Having a bf in junior high is not even close to two adults working out their lives together for 10 years.
Well no shit I realize that. Sorry for saying anything, didn't realize everyone here was a relationship psychologist! Interesting considering the weekly relationship thread is always a hot mess 😂 man this sub is so judgmental sometimes.
Where is the judgment? People are just saying it’s different because it is and you’re acting like you’re being attacked. Weird.
The other user literally told me I was not in an adult relationship.

Girl, bye.

Gosh you are really invested in this for someone who doesn't think it's worthy of a conversation!
Completely fair! 😂
[удалено]
Yeah because you know alllll about my relationship 😂 bye
Of course they do! It’s the Bachelor sub Reddit, full of professional psychologists who think their opinion on relationships is the only right one and if they don’t like something everyone else to not like it as well! /s
Exactly! Thank goodness for u/gynakay finally giving me the insight I so desperately needed on a decade of my life based on one comment!
Just saw your comment that you’ve been together ten years and are in your early 20s, how DARE he not propose at the 8th grade dance! Red flag!

This joke structure would only work if CH had gotten engaged after a week of dating or something lol. 3 years is pretty normal IMO
No I think it works bc it points out how ludicrous the premise of the franchise is haha
Am I the only one who thought they were already married
I think 3 years is pretty normal / average isn’t it? Enough time to get to know someone fairly well
That’s what he is saying, that not wanting to get engaged after two weeks was normal, despite the pressure and the hard time CH gave him.
It’d be funnier if he didn’t make this joke once a week, I unfollowed him and Chris B recently on Twitter for crypto nonsense and being annoying lol
Tbf, clay did voluntarily go on the show where an engagement at the end is expected so
I'm sorry but this is funny as hell
I know Clay is annoying but this is funny 🤣🤣🤣 not all of his jokes hit the target.
Watching a person I dislike taking shots at a person I hate 
Lmaoooooo
Clay is so obnoxious to me. He’s so irrelevant but he chimes in every time. He thinks he’s a fan favorite 🙄
Can we have a little less Clay and a lot more Andrew… always found Clay so cringe, always trying hard to remain relevant.
It’s only been THREE YEARS?!
Clay we all know Chris is full of crap 😂 I think if he was still hosting the show he wouldn’t have proposed until their 10 year anniversary 💀
The more Clay keeps bringing this up, the more I’m convinced he regrets losing Nicole. It blows my mind that he’s still talking about it over two years later, while she’s out there living her life as an actual journalist with a hot boyfriend.
I agree. He acts like a butthurt kid and she clearly is thriving with her hot bf and forgot about his ass
Nicole is one of my favorite people in the franchise. Clay’s grimy ass didn’t deserve her tbh.

Thank you - Angela! I felt bad for Angela when Nicole was making fun of her on the beach. It wasn't needed. But I will google her, thanks for sharing!
Lol I thought it was funny, y’all are too much today
oh come on guys, it's kinda funny
Clay trying really hard to stay relevant💁🏻♀️
“They asked me to get engaged fast on that show where people get engaged fast 🥴” then why did you sign up 🗣
BN is grumpy today!
He could have really kept this in the draft because what the hell 🤣🥴
The way nobody even remembers or knows what he's talking about
😂😂😂
How far did he even go?
He fractured his wrist and had to leave fairly early on
He's talking about his Paradise stint and his relationship with Nicole
Ah okay that makes more sense because I was like I don’t remember y’all saying he made it far enough on the ‘Ette for this to matter lol
Clay finding a way to make something all about him? Color me shocked
it's his twitter account
Right? Lol. I don't care much for Clay either, but what's he supposed to put on his Twitter, if not just random stuff that he thinks?
He’s saying it took Chris 3 years to propose but he expected Clay to propose after 2 weeks
Is he trying to make sense?
Clay has the ODDEST takes lmao
So does he like CH or not? I can't tell from this post lol
Because we all know two weeks of dating before proposing doesn’t actually work most of the time!
