Seven years is way too long. What's he waiting for? Why are you still waiting?

Hey Babs! He claims to be waiting for the kids to grow up! Two are in Navy now, third is 15.5. We live like we are married now - guess he has it too good!! Need to decided what to do soon.

Tell me,is he working & is he working towards anything? Does it make sense? Does he have lame excuses like I want to be a millionaire first? If he is not working towards anything it is not worth it. They comfortable and lazy. That makes for never getting married and always having to work the hardest in the relationship.

Marisol, what is he doing that you can't take? Is he abusive in any way?

Do you have a job and support from family and friends? If he is not treating you right maybe you should consider raising the child alone. It's not easy but plenty of women have done it. He is responsible for helping support the child, you don't have to marry him if you don't want to.

Don't make any rash decisions.

Darling I hate to tell you, but if he hasn't married you after 7 years, he's NOT going to marry you unless he has a near death experience. If a man doesn't marry a woman after 2-3 years of dating, he has no intention of marring you. If you are with a man for more than 3 years and he hasn't at least proposed, then he is just waiting on the next best thing and you are not it. SORRY

I have been with a guy for over 5 yrs we got engaged 3 mos ago, and he just dropped the bomb that he has a child I have never none about.. he has no relationship with her she is 9 yrs old. and a long time ago he got a girl pregnet who said she was having an abortion he was in the service and shipped out , then a yr later he got a phone call from her friend thatt she had a baby and its a girl. I feel like my world has been turned upside down.. yes this happened before he knew me but the fact remains he lied about it for 5 years. My family is furious he is 9 yrs older than me and has had 2 DUI's (one since I have known him). What do dI do I feel like some how I still love him!!!
