Anyone else feel “meh” about marriage?

Question

This November will be 5 years since my partner and I got together.
Sometimes I wonder if he will ever pop the question. Part of me really wants it, and part of me is scared of it/finds it unnecessary. 
This may sound rude but I definitely wouldn’t say yes if he proposed after I got pregnant, because to me, that is clearly not a proposal that came from love and emotion, more so pressure or for the sake of finances. 
But if he proposed now/before we have kids, I’d say yes. I would see it as no outside factor having any influence on his choice besides he loves me. 
Just something I think about a lot idk!
Anyone have kids with their lover but not married?

Answer

We were TTC before we got engaged. We already verbally had acknowledged that we would get married within x amount of years. We ended up married a few years before getting pregnant because of infertility and I’m actually so happy my child will be born in to our marriage. We were together 7 years before marriage.

Answer

I don’t believe in marriage - never have - probably
Never will and I’m completely ok with that.

Answer

Yeah I’m not married lol. We’ve been together 5 years today and have 2 kids! We are engaged lol but my son was 1.5 years old when he did 😬😬 No matter how much my mom tried to make us get married before he was born 🙃😂 now it’s been 2 years being engaged 🤷🏻‍♀️😬 We’re in absolutely no rush🤗

Answer

We have 4 kids and have been together for 8 years! We are still young though. I’m 22 he’s 25. We both just don’t feel like we need to right now. No rush and we want to get our kids raised and trying to buy a new house right now. Just other things have always been more important to both of us than getting married

Answer

We both wanted marriage before kids.. we got married after 4 years together.. we went on honeymoon 2 months later.. I got pregnant during that time.

Answer

I understand what you're saying. We got married before our kiddos and it just seems more genuine then popping the question after you're about to pop a baby out lol

Answer

We got married as I was pregnant and I really loved it. We knew that we would get married but at the same time it wasn’t something that had to be done. So when I got pregnant after trying for a year, we have decided, I actually found a ring that I loved and he proposed.
I hate being disappointed with proposals and presents/rings/events, so that way worked for all of us. It was a common decision more. 
But! That said, I was married once, so it’s my second marriage and I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. I loved it as it was exactly how I wanted it to be. 😍

Answer

I’m having a son with my lover & we’re not married. We don’t plan to get married until we hit a financial goal. We both view “marriage” as just a legal aspect of a relationship, not the next step. In our heads we’re already husband and wife, just not to the gov’t (:

Answer

My partner and I have been together almost 16 and a half yrs and have 5 kids together. Not married or engaged (my choice) and we've never split up or separated. Basically we're married but we're fine with it the way it is! Plus I loved the fact it used to drive my Christian family crazy lol

Answer

I believe in marriage THEN kids. Let him secure it first & then he can have ur bbys
