get married

I also want a baby too! I deserve both these things after 3 years, right?

It’s HIM who should be pushing ME, not the other way around. I thought the guy was supposed to do the asking?

We haven’t set a real date yet, but that’s when it will be! Our son will be a month short of 3 years old. Then he said we can try for our second (and last) child.

This is something that’s been bothering me lately. I can honestly say that I don’t think our relationship is “troubled”. We fight over cutting boards, who throws more trash in who’s car, loading our dishwasher, and things like that. Because of these disagreements, he says our relationship has too many problems and therefore we shouldn’t be married.

Marriage is so important to me. I hate that I am shacking up with a man and raising his son without a marital commitment. I know I deserve better.

One thing that is very comforting is that I am confident that I can lay down the ultimatum and FOLLOW THROUGH with it. I love myself enough to seek the things I want and be prepared to walk away if there is someone keeping me from getting those things.

I have to decide how much longer I will allow this to go on before I leave. I don’t want to act too soon but I don’t want to sit around feeling resentful forever.

I will give him another year, and if it’s still a no-go I will leave. He is a great person, but if he doesn’t see me worthy of marriage, I will move on. I know I deserve that much.
