I hope you kicked him hard. :P If you even considered it, you would be very dumb and certainly messing up your life.

Yeah seriously, if that bothers you, you should probably reassess your relationship (and your own priorities) If a man wants to marry you to help secure your financial future, that shows a lot more character than a man who wants to marry you out of some ass backwards heroism because you got knocked up. I think you need to realize that he obviously loves you, and could very well be using it as an excuse to do something he might not think you otherwise would want to. That's sweet, and marraige for love and security is hardly something to sneer at, let alone complain about for everyone to see. I hope he dumps your ass. Stop being shallow.

Tell him to find a better reason.

I can understand if you wanted him to propose in a more romantic way, seeing as he's your boyfriend, and that his wording may have made it seem like he only wanted to get married for the financial benefits, thus cuasing you to question your relationship. But that's the only reason I clicked FYL. Really, it's a sound reason to get married in this day and age, with this economy. However, even if he does love you, if you rush into a marriage just to consolidate your student loans, I'd suggest getting a prenup. That way, if it ends in divorce, you won't get financially screwed that way. Also, here, here, #21! "Sanctity of marriage" my ass. I don't understand why gay marriage can't just be legal already.

I agree with #44 and what kind of an idiot would say that>

#8 deserve a punch in the face for typing like that. And numbers 45 and 43, it's just an FML. No need to get all deep about it.

Marriage isn't as sacred as it used to be. Shallow on his part, I hope you make a good decision.

Make sure you run it by your financial adviser when you lovebirds start thinking about kids. Come on, things could be worse.

As long as he apologises and makes amends it's not the end of the world, I've made worse mistakes with my girlfriend and we're still together :)

#43--I'm thinking it's less that he wants to be a Mighty Man and "secure her financial future" than he wants to shore up his own shitty credit using hers and/or leave her stuck holding the bag. Big red flag.
