[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neither you or his GF should pressure him into marriage if he is not ready. It's ok. She might be amazing, but if he is not ready for marriage it doesn't matter[/quote]

NP here. The advice "wait until you're ready" is a truism that may make sense for most things in life.  But once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, you have to make yourself ready. If you don't, that window might pass and you will regret it your entire life. I think that's what OP is getting at.  OP's DS may not be ready, but he will regret it for the rest of  his life (assuming OP is Nostradamus)

My father dated my mother for nine years after meeting her in college, but couldn't commit.  Apparently my grandfather gave my father a talking to where he told him he just needed to get on with it.  For what it's worth, my parents have a terrible marriage and act like they hate each other.  He's really mean to her. I have actually wondered at times if the reason my dad struggled to commit to my mom is because he doesn't actually like women.  He has a lot of gay male friends, so it's something to consider.  I think the OP needs to back off because pressuring someone into marriage is never a good thing to do, and at least in my experience doesn't turn out well. [/quote]
