[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never posted here, but I have no one I can ask…..

My partner and I have been together almost 10 years. We live together, I have a 16 year old who adores him, and he loves her like his own. He has been married twice, me once. We have a healthy relationship, love is not questioned in any way.

So, we are not married. We talk about it sometimes, and the thought is always on both sides, we don’t need to be married, we are together because we want to be,  we can get married, get married if you want to. We both had bad divorces and we both have plenty of money so we don’t “need” to get married. We even call each other husband and wife outside of work people who must know. We live as a married couple, we talk of “our” everything. Our trusts make each other beneficiaries. You get the picture, we just lack a legal contract. he bought me a 25k diamond band two years ago.

So this past weekend, he had a bit to drink but he wasn’t overly drunk, just happy tipsy. He flat out proposed. He was so happy.  We talked about a wedding, where, who, he would buy me another ring (which I declined). He said I want you to be my wife, legitimately, no more just living together and calling each other a spouse. I was quite shocked, and I said yes. I guess I always thought if he affirmatively wanted to get married, then I would too.

Next morning it was as if nothing happened. Nada. I mentioned that we should tell our kid, he called her into our room, but we got sidetracked with homework and he didn’t bring it up again. I mean it has been days and it is literally as if it never happened. I am afraid to bring it up. I think he was just drunk and too happy and now reverted back to getting married if we need to etc.

Should I just let this go and forget it too? I told my mother, so I would have to make up an excuse and regardless she will hate him.

I never needed to be married and felt plenty secure with our life and relationship. But now, I will never marry him. I even have thoughts of leaving. Who does this?    [/quote]

What a man-child!  This is enough for you to rethink your relationship.  Get rid of him today!  Tell him to pack his stuff and hit the road.  Good riddance.  You can do better.
