        • just ask him. sounds silly, but just talk to him about it. he is not a mind reader and may be having the same thoughts but is worried because you already told him that your aren't getting married just because of the baby. have the conversation and take it from there.

          • DH and I were together five years before we started talking marriage. There was no proposal, just a discussion, and then another, and then another. Took us six months to decide to do it. Married twelve years so far, happily. Don't hang around waiting for him to get down on one knee --- talk about it.

            • OR above... that was my story with DH. we were together for years and just talked about it and decided that we really were in it for the long haul and decided we should get married. no romantic story, no proposal, but 8 years and 2 kids later we are still together

      • this sounds like us. we met after college, moved in together almost immediately, dated for 3 years before getting engaged--but only bc i was going overseas for a job--and then didn't even plan on getting married...but then just decided to wing it and semi-elope (7 years after getting engaged.) good thing we were young when we started!

    • Depends. If a family and getting married was important to me I'd just ask if that was in their future. If not then I wouldn't waste anymore time. If it was...then I guess a couple years.
