[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister's BF (they have a kid together too) posts lovey dovey pics on social media all the time.

Yet he also hasn't popped the question.  They have been living together for 3 years.  I'm pretty sure he won't be buying this cow.[/quote]

NP. For both your sister and OP's sister: If they want to be married to these boyfriends, who supposedly are committed enough to them to live together and have a child together, why don't these women propose to the men? It IS done, and not just by celebrity women (though there are a couple of celebrities in the news recently for proposing to their boyfriends).

I'm guessing that there's a combination of "I'd really like HIM to ask ME because, romance, tradition, etc." and a far less willingly admitted, "If I ask him I'm afraid he will be scared off and leave me alone with the baby because I'll find out he's not as deeply committed as I believed."

How would either of your sisters react if you suggested they do the proposing? I'm asking more theoretically because I agree with PPs saying the OP shouldn't interfere based on social media posts or lack of them. But I do wonder if it's even occurred to sister that she could propose.

I’m nit sure how she would react but there’s only way to find out. If/when she reaches a point where she’s at a breaking point I’ll mention it to her. Thanks for the idea.
