OldEnoughToKnow Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 My boyfriend and I have been dating since Sept 2010. Next month marks our 3 year dating anniversary. Let me give you some background info. I was once married/with the guy, for 15 years. We have three kids and our divorce was finalized in 2008. I met this guy, (don't laugh), on facebook. We went to the same high school, except he is two years younger than I am. Our families all know each other and we come from a very small town. In 2010, I needed drastic change in my life; and so, I moved back to our small town. He found me on facebook and we really hit it off. At the time, I had nowhere to go. So, he said, move in with him, and I did. At first, I did what any desperate/greatful girl would do, and we were just fine with that. We needed each other, at that time, for a reason. Then, after months had passed, going on a year, I developed genuine feelings for him. He felt the same, so we solidified our dating. We have been together for almost 3 years, and he is AMAZING! He and my children are attached at the hip, and we have had so many amazing memories together. Marriage has come up so many times, and until this year, I didn't consider it. My question is this. I would love to be married to him. When I was married, it happened so fast, because I got pregnant. I feel that this time, I get to decide; and my family won't be pushing me, because I'm a grown woman. Do you feel that, if he asks, I should say yes? Because I so want to. I think about how my children would react, and I feel that they'd be okay with it, but because I'm a concerned mom, I need your opinions.
Philosoraptor Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 If he asked and you want to say yes, then say yes. I looks like you're not worried about pressure from anyone. Why overthink it? If you're happy with him and you want to marry him, then follow your heart if he pops the question.
