Today, I asked my girlfriend to marry me. She said no because she doesn't want to be tied down for the rest of her life. We already have 3 children, a mortgage, and joint bank accounts. How much more tied down could we possibly get? FML

Maybe that's her way of saying she might want out soon.. Watch out OP.

Maybe she should of made that clear before creating a family and life with you? Just a thought.

With 3 kids, a house, and joint bank accounts...aren't you practically married anyway? Marriage is nothing but a piece of paper, it sounds like you already have committed to each other for life, or at least until your kids are grown.

Yikes. I'd be re-thinking those joint bank accounts right about now, OP.

I can't believe you waited till after 3 kids, joint bank accounts, and a mortgage to ask. You're a jerk.

Wow!! If that's not a huge red flag warning sign idk what is!! Seems like you are already pot committed, what are you going to do??!!

Haha read this as a sign she wants to hoe around, probably is currently sorry op

She says this 3 kids later? Oh wow sorry OP. I hope you figure it all out!

l9ok at it this way. at this point youre common law, and if you break up seperate ect, no alamony, not divorce, ect. not to memtion living as a non married couple you guys get a lot more tax breaks.

That's what happens when you create a life out of wed lock.
