My OH and I have been together for 6 1/2 years. Found out a couple weeks before our 6 year that we were expecting. We are not married nor engaged. We have talked off and on about marriage pretty much the whole time we have been together. We have mentioned it more since we found out, but we both want to make sure we have the finances before we take that step. We live comfortably as it is right now. I have bills I am trying to take care of from before he and I ever got together. And now we have our LO to worry about, plus doctor's/hospital bills. Plus he has said he wants to get me a ring (I have told him countless times I do not want one, other than a wedding band), ask my father, etc. I have told him that when we do get married we will just go to the justice of the peace because I don't want a big wedding or anything like that.

OH and I been together for years, and now that I'm expecting I've been getting thinking about marriage and how I would love a ring. Been watching "Say Yes To The Dress" and stopping to look at wedding rings. I've always loved the idea of getting a ring from him. But the urge has intensified since finding out about LO.

Anyone else?

Thats so cute! Lol i know that feeling.... I would go for it and buy him a ring! See what happens! Good luck and I hope you get what you want!

I always wanted to be married before children but honestly if it happened, so be it. We also refused to spend a fortune on a wedding, paid cash for ours and was married in Disney World! We had a fabulous wedding and I didn't have to spend tons of money where I live to "keep up with the Jones".

I do feel that marriage has been watered down. I told my husband though I only plan on doing this once so I truly hope we work towards making this a forever marriage.

Lol maybe!

My honey and I are old-fashioned in that we felt we needed to get married first, then baby later. That being said, I almost never wear my wedding band because what was important to me was that my dh was making a forever commitment to me and our child(ren) and not so much what society would think of us. That being said, people get divorced every day so even putting a ring on it doesn't make it permanent. I truly feel that my honey and I will weather every storm and come out stronger for it... Not because we're married, but because our commitment to each other is stronger than any piece of paper could ever make it.

Not married or engaged... Our 5 year anniversary is coming up in a week

We have our beautiful daughter and a son on the way.

We want to get married, but we just can't financially. We talk about it all the time, but we no there's no need to rush. We've got all our lives for that

We feel the same way and could careless about wearing our rings!

My hubby and I got married in court. To all who don't feel they need to just for the baby, I agree. That's definitely not why WE got married. We got married because we had wanted to even before finding out we were pregnant. And yes, ceremonies are expensive, that's why we chose to get married in court first, to make it official, and having a ceremony in a couple years with family and friends.

I had always wanted to be married before children when I was younger and felt it was important. Then my bil left my sister for another woman 2 weeks after their 2nd child was born (it was a planned pregnancy). It turned out he had been seeing this woman since my sister was 4 months pregnant. From then on I completely changed my views. Having an expensive wedding, a piece of paper and a ring on her finger did not make her husband faithful or committed. Oh and I have been together for 14 years. We have a mortgage, 2 dogs and now 2 babies (well one and a half lol). That feels pretty committed to me

We have been together for 4 years and have discussed marriage on and off. it will definately happen at one point or another, but we are not in a rush and I have no intention of getting married because we are expecting. I feel like we have made the biggest commitment already by choosing to have a child together and we are very committed to each other as is. I would like to get married later on when our kids are older so they can be part of the experience and create a good family memory.

cheers!

Omgggg what an ass your bil is! But I totally see your point.

 

[maisie78]

A complete ass trust me. Lousy husband and it turned out lousy father after he left. But it was a long time ago now and my sister is happily settled with a new partner. I think despite all the heartache and hard times she went through ultimately he did her a favour x

I totally agree

For me, marriage is something people did in the old days because that was what as expected when you wanted to live with someone and have sex. I also see it as quite a religious thing and I am an atheist.

I would like us all to have the same last name so it looks tidy, but I never wanted to get married before or after having babies. We've been together for 13 years this December.

Almost 10 years and 3rd pregnancy later, we are still not married! IM just here...patiently waiting for him to ask...
or rather impatiently at the moment if in honest!!
