[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is not what he posts or does not post on social media. The issue is that they have been together 3 years, live together and have had a child together and, despite the fact that your sister really wants to be married, they are not. To me, this is all you really need to know. If he definitely wanted to be married, what is he waiting for?  If he hasn't made a specific commitment or they have not agreed on a date, then I think unfortunately he's keeping his options open. [/quote]

This. And frankly, I wouldn't necessarily keep quiet.

I think we've all had friends or known women (it's usually the woman) who is absolutely certain that their long-term BF is going to pop the question at any moment even though BF is not actually making any moves in that direction. If there's an opening to talk to your sister on this front, I'd take it.

She's 31 - which is young, but how long does she plan to wait to see if her BF actually wants to marry her? Does she want another child in the future? Does she actually want to be married (in general, not just to this guy). Why didn't they get married when they found out she was pregnant? Why did they decide to live together? I feel like moving in together when you've already decided to get married is one thing, but without that understanding it's usually the guy pretending to up his commitment level without really doing it. Unless this dude has some other external issue with marriage I think your sister needs to think long and hard about her future with him.[/quote]
