Why doesn't he want to get married?
*I'm 23 & he is 29 (almost 30).
*We've been together for over 6 years
*We've lived together for over 5 years
*We have a 3 year old & a baby on the way (2 kids)
*We had a rocky first few years, but recently it has been much better
*I sense we both still have some trust issues (But I would think these would dissolve once married & w/ the sense of security being married would provide, right?)
*He is no hurry, "jokes" he's not the "marrying type", says he doesn't think he needs to marry me to prove he loves me, wants our money to be better, brings up wedding ideas sometimes & picked out a potential date 11-11-11 (talk about torture!), says he doesn't want to get married bc he wants us to have 1-2 more babies & live on "tax return" money each year & stay home?! b/c he says we can get more money if we aren't married & each claim a couple kids (which I know is DUMB & means POVERTY & won't work), & other out-out of marriage excuses........
*He says he loves me, I mean the world to him, I'm the most beautiful woman in the world to him, he wants to spend his life with me, & he loves me being the mother of his kids
Do you think there is more of a reason why he doesn't want to get married? Do you think I've already screwed myself & given him NO motivation to even get engaged, let alone married?! (We're not even engaged!) Would it be reasonable if come 2011 (8 years later) that we're not engaged or married if I leave him??
I want to be married by age 30...But find my potential husband by 27.... HELP PLEASE!!
No, I do not care about "having a wedding"-I could care less & be fine w/ a quarter machine ring & a court house.

you are more intersted in a wedding than that relationship. give it up. how many times this same question is going to be asked? it is amazing to me how many women out there cant understand that when someone does not want to do something there is no reason other than not wanting. if you want it, then get out and find another. however, good luck in finding someone that would be willing to marry a woman like yourself with two children within the next few years. let alone a woman with 4 children if you go ahead with that plan of having 2 more by 2011.
and still we wonder the why of our families current state of affairs! btw, me, as a hard working, educated professional, are the ones paying for those "tax returns." it makes me sick! wish i could stay at home drinking beer all day and wait for my refunds, but, stupid me, i like a big house, a couple of cars in the garage, and money for travel. it would be nice if i could be ok with a trailer home, 4 kids in the backyard, and a broken down pick up. then i could do what your partner is so happy doing.
go ahead, thumb me down, but this sucks!
ADD- for all the thumbs down, get a bit of reality check!

If, you want to be married you should probably find someone else. You both played house together for many years. He gets what he wants all ready from you, why should he be tied down? I would have talked about marriage way before moving in and having kids. At least you both should have talked over if marriage is something you both want. Your kids are a blessing but it sounds like your boyfriend doesn't want to make a big commitment to you.

being together that long says something. you don't need a piece of paper to be happy. in fact alot of times that piece of paper creates more of a problem than you have ever had in your time together. marriage isn't all its cracked up to be if you can live together and be happy i say go for it. maybe you could get engaged and have an open end for the marriage that way you're a little more happy with a engagement promise sometimes it's better than nothing.

he is afraid of commitment. (and lazy) get into school and get a real career if you don't all ready have one. I would give him one year and tell him that. Tell him if your not married in one year you are leaving. Then when the year is up (and trust me you won't be married) leave him. take the kids and go. He will either man up and do the responsible thing or he won't either way if you want to get married you have right to have that and if he won't do that then find someone who will.

The old " he is getting the milk for free".
You have already given him permission not to make a real commitment to you by living with him and having children. Plus, perhaps he sees you have an agenda rather than true love for him. I mean, if you really loved him, being with him would be fine. You would not be searching for someone else just to have a ring on your finger.
