[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I lived together for 4 years (aged 29-33) before he proposed. We got married pretty much exactly a year to the date of his proposal.

No ultimatums for me. Maybe it works out for some people but in my friend group I have only seen that work out badly (a VERY unhappy marriage).

I asked him before we moved in together if he saw marriage in our future and he said yes, he saw us getting married in a few years. That was enough for me. We already owned our place (yes, together, unmarried). I wasn't really in a huge hurry because I wasn't ready for kids yet, and loving that carefree DINK lifestyle.

Other people's experiences mean nothing for your friend and her future. Some guys commit and some string women along. Has she had the "do you see marriage in our future" conversation with her boyfriend? [/quote]

What did it matter if you wanted kids yet?  You don’t need to be married to have children.  [/quote]

I'm sure it doesn't matter to plenty of people. I personally wanted us to be married before having children, and wanted to be done having children by age 40 (not that there is anything wrong with having them after 40! Just my own preference)[/quote]
