Here's the situation.... Been with this guy for more than 7 years, we now have a child and he states to me that he will never marry me. But still wants to be together. Do you stay with someone who will never marry you?

I dont think there is an unwritten rule that says after so long, you must get married, or that to acheive a certain staus or hiatus in the relationship, you must be wed. How do you feel about the relatiopnship?Does he treat you well, is faithful and makes you happy?Does he respect you and the relationship, along with him?How does he treat your child?


If he does all of those things, then all a wedding would do is confirm what you already know, on paper.

I think we need more info. How is the relationship? Do you treat each other well? Are you monogamous? Is he a good parent?
