I have been with my significant other for almost a year now we have been living together for about the last 6 months. I am 21 years old with and 18 month old son he is 37 years old with a 13 year old daughter and 10 year old son. We both have custody of our children and have them full time. Our family fits together nicely and our relationship is very strong and I truely care about him and his children deeply. I am young but mature for my age and I feel as though I am ready to spend the rest of my life with this amazing man. He is very supportive in everything I do I'm currently opening a daycare in our home so he has built a playground and fenced in part of our yard around the playground so I can get my liscense as well as building a room onto his home for my son. My question is when do I bring up marriage? We have talked a little in the past but not much when he speaks of his future I am always in it. As we approach our year mark I believe marriage should be discussed am I wrong? Should I wait longer to discuss it? He has never been married and takes it very seriously as he does not believe in divorce. I am also the first woman he has lived with since having his children.
I don't believe in the "Milk For Free" statement and in this situation it very much doesn't apply.
I would rather live together to see if we are able to cohabitate before just getting married and realizing our families don't mesh.
I also do not need to get married if he were to say he wanted to wait a long time then that would be perfectly fine with me.
