What does this have to do with growing a pair? You'd be an idiot for marrying in the US as a man.

wow. lightbulb moment. if it's that obvious to a 7 year old...

That is exactly why I love certain kids, they're honest. Cudos to you for raising such an honest rugrat....

OP does need to grow a pair... to tell the kid he can't tell OP what to do. Marriage is probably the most important decicion in life, and there's no way a 7 yr old can understand all the sub-issues involved. Or just tell the kid 'Okay, but then you're going to a foster home.'

How is this an FML? It's cute. You definitely don't have to marry the girl, but it's nice that your son likes her so much.

awww he must like her :) this is cute, not an FML. How is your life screwed??

This so sounds like what my boyfriend's daughter would do. Not the grow a pair, but just telling him to ask me to marry him already. The first day I met her (over a year ago, about a month into our relationship) she asked me when him and I were getting married. A couple weeks ago she was asking about my rings (i have three) and then she says. "where's one from my daddy?" I told her he hasn't given me one. And then in the most exasperated voice she says, "He hasn't asked you to marry him yet?!" and then stomped out of the room. We've been together 1 year and 8 months. She's seven also.

Your. Son. Is. EPIC!

Honestly, what’s with all the retarded comments here? “Your son is awesome?” “Listen to him?” What idiots sit around and write these comments? Who the hell takes the advice of a F***ing 7 year old who isn’t old enough to get a job and feel what life is really like? The little piece of crap isn’t old enough to realize how harsh reality and life is. He’s nothing but a larva fish flitting around still trying to figure out what to do. How a kid, who hasn’t even matured enough yet to make serious decisions. And as far as marriage is concerned; everyone has different preferences and decisions that they are comfortable with. Some people marry early, other later; it all depends on how much time you need to get comfortable around your partner and when you think its best. Marriage should be decided by both of the couple, not by one of them; which means they should decide on something they both agree with that will make their relationship work. Nothing’s worse than rushing or not giving each other enough time; some couple might decide to marry right away, other might wait until they have house, so they can start a family, or do something else that’s more important beforehand. So stop arguing over a stupid and trivial question like that because everyone will have a different perspective. As for the kid……If I were the father’s kid, I’d slap him across the face for being the snotty little bastard that he is. Who does he think he is?

tell him you don't wantmto marry her and it is none of his bees wax
