[quote=Anonymous]I had a never-married work friend who lived with her retired divorced boyfriend for many years in her 30s.  She got accidentally pregnant.  They decided to marry because of the baby.  It all worked out well and everyone in the family was happy for the time that I knew them.  She used to joke with me: "Is 9 years long enough to truly know somebody?" I thought that was hilarious.  But it communicates the point well that people have very different standards of internal timing.

OP, you sound like a great person, very fun, thoughtful, and reflective...however it is slightly telling that you described being a bf/gf as "interviewing for a job".  You may be unintentionally pressuring more than you realize due to your concern about figuring this all out.

I would let some more men assess this situation.  You may still get split feedback but closer to the actual mindset of this guy. You cannot talk someone out of their beliefs on what it means to be a provider or spouse.  [/quote]
