Were those one of the first words he said during the proposal or did he say that later on to try to convince you to marry him? I feel that makes a difference...

the first sentence makes it seem like hes not ready/was rushed into asking

What about "5 years of dating" sounds rushed to you?

I know what you mean #11; if he said it right after 'will you marry me?', it'd sound like he's just using her for the tax breaks. If OP thought about it for a while, it probably made him nervous, & he was trying to give her reasons to say yes.

Did you throw the ring in his face?

He'll probably combine the wedding with a business trip so he gets a tax write-off

OP won't be poor after she claims a few of those tax breaks.

Guys it is a smart idea! It makes more income for you everyone when taxes come in. It's beneficial doesn't mean he doesn't love her. He spent 5 years with her before. So you know he isn't just doing it for the money.
