I asked him where does he see us in 2 years
He said financially stable and hopefully in 2-5 years we’ll be moving into a house. I’m looking for reassurance that hed want to commit soon and be my husband. We have a baby on the way already and I told him I don’t want to be a single mom of multiple children, I already have one from my ex fiancé and he says he wants another baby after this one, he mentioned it a few times. Me and him didn’t start off well, I didn’t see him my whole first half of my pregnancy (13 weeks, we spoke on the phone off and on but barely he was avoiding me but responded sometimes). Now he’s here and very loving helpful and patient with me. I do appreciate it don’t know what I’d do without him but people do change and love alone isn’t security enough for me I want to be married and feel comfortable. I feel like when I bring up marriage or hint at it I never get a confirming response. Even when the other day I told him a dad from my daughters school asked how my husband is doing and I told him I said “oh that’s not my husband” he said lol see people think I’m your husband and I said yea but you’re not, then he said just tell him I’m Justin. He could’ve said not yet or something… he usually just leaves it open and have no response to It. I’m thinking 1 year after the baby, if there’s no hint that he’s ready to commit soon I’d consider ending things. Especially at the two year mark I won’t go past that. I don’t want a fake pretending family I already know what that’s like and it’s a waste of time. Idk if I’m over thinking but I don’t mind going back to single and just coparent I don’t want to settle and disappoint myself. What u think!? Cause this feeling has been lingering for sometime now. With my ex husband he told me he wanted me to be his wife and he will make me his wife and did. With my ex fiance I saw the hints that he would propose soon, those were both within about 2-3y. Me and my bf didn’t reach a year yet but I’m just trying to make sure we have the same ideas or not so I can know what I should do next.
Update!!! So I said the topic is still on my mind and I told him before how I don’t want to be a single mom and he said “but you’re not single though” and I said legally on paper i am. Then he says oh I see what u mean.. and I continue and say Before we make anymore big plans I want to be committed… By the time the baby is one years old if feel no progress has been made then I’d want to end things and he said end want? I said end the relationship and we will coparent and he said well then I’d be putting myself into that situation because I want things to move at my pace and i want things to go my way and on my timeline.. it would happen eventually…. he also brought up then I’d have 2 kids and two baby daddies because I felt things wasn’t going my way.
I’m thinking how can u say marriage would happen eventually but u had no issue about bringing in more babies… u didn’t say another baby would happen eventually. And I really didn’t like when he said I’d have two kids two baby daddies and then the next man would be the third baby daddy like If I’m desperate to stay with him because I don’t want a third baby daddy. Like who said I’d want any more kids after? And I’m not afraid to start over at this point and leaving if he would think so low.
