Most guys are scared to commit these days. Congrats. Clearly you love him if you have stuck by him these years including having a child. Just because it wasn't an ideal proposal and quite straight to the point lol it's better than you keep hinting and him changing the topic.

You've been in a solid relationship for over 7 years, you have a child and a man that cares about you enough to want to marry you, but you decide to go ahead and complain because the proposal wasn't quite what you had seen in the movies. Good luck to him.

And where is FML in this? You knew him and still decided to be with him so man up or don't get married.

That's a hell of a lot better then what I got.

For those of you questioning what's wrong with the Twilight Series. It pretty much sends a mssg to gals to be pretty and submissive to the males they love. No surprise there as it was written by a Mormon (and two minutes of watching Mitt Romney ought to tell you how ass-backwards they often are).

you know what he is like, why settle?

You dot have to say yes. Clearly you had baby out of wedlock already

Ydi! You have a child out of wedlock. How can you expect romance in your life when you weren't able to protect yourself from producing a bastard child?

Have you TOLD him you want more? Is he the kind of guy who LISTENS to you if you ask? Don't assume he's a mind reader and will automatically do what you want. Maybe he just isn't tuned into that kind of thing... on the other hand, if you can tell he really does not care, it's time to re-boot your life, seriously.

Just be glad he asked and is still in you an your child's life he could be just another one of those dead beat dads you hear so much about
