Q: My boyfriend and I have been dating for over 3 years and he is showing no signs of wanting to get married. I have 2 children from a previous marrage and he has never been married before. We are both 33 years old and we live in Nebraska where people don't generally wait much longer than 2 years. We have had our ups and downs but we do very well with the exception of me wanting to get married and him putting it off. How long should I wait? What do I do now while waiting?

Men don't think about marriage like women do, most don't see the need, to them it's just a piece of paper that society says you should have. I think the best thing for you to do is to sit down and talk to your boyfriend about it, let him know that you love him and would like to be married one day and see how he takes it, see what he wants. It doesn't matter how long most people wait, you have to do whats best for you and your relationship.
I think you should just enjoy one another, most people will tell you that being married ruins things, but honestly people stop communicating and stop enjoying one anothers company. Love each other, move in together, and take all the other steps that a married couple would take and then maybe if he feels its right and you do as well then get married.
If you love him, then there is no 'time table.' Marriage doesn't change that love anymore than not being married does. Don't pressure him, communicate and go from there.
Good Luck & Hope I Helped :)

I am a 19 year old female. I am the least judgmental person you will ever meet. I am funny. I am free-willed. I am a lover. I am a friend. I have been through alot & many people call me their guru. & I will try to give you the healthiest advice possible. I may be young but I have a lot of life experiences in many areas, and since my career will be giving advice I figured I'd give a head start. I can be blunt and will give you my honest opinion, although I will do it in a nice way.
I am married to an amazing guy, we have been together since my Junior year & we can't be happier. I have 2 dogs & they are my babies, life wouldnt be the same without them. I am going into my 2nd year of college, I plan to get a degree in Radiology.
I am currently really busy in my life but I will answer any and all questions that are sent to my inbox. I do my best to get on & answer as many questions as possible whenever I am on. If you wish for me to answer one of your questions please submit them. Thanks.
