I'm really trying not to cry but I'm really feeling bad. I'm pregnant & I live with my boyfriend who…

If it makes you feel better I'm living with my boyfriend and we're pregnant and 21 weeks and we're not married or even engaged, nor is it something that's probably on the way and we're completely happy! We've been together 4 years and we split bills right down the middle and everything we do and buy is ours not his or hers! Marriage is just a ring and paper...And i got rings and paper a plenty 😁

don't rush it hun yall will know when it's right

Marriage is a beautiful thing but it is not a necessity and please don't feel like that. What's important is that you're growing together, loving one another, and happy. Truly happy and appreciating one another as you should. It will come but patience is your best friend. Let things take course and fall into place as it should.

@miasiacheyenne, yeah that's kinda how things are with us, he pays most of the bills though . I just feel like it's something I want sooner and it's something he wants later or maybe never . @taegenice I'm trying to be patient it just really hits when I see everyone else but you're right

@ljmommy, I completely understand, sometimes I'm all for getting married and doing the whole shabang and get really sad when he doesn't agree and then other days I remember I have the same thing the married people do or it's even better than what they have.the feeling comes and goes because from what I understand my boyfriend doesn't see the point in marriage

Don't base your happiness or success on what others are going through. Not trying to compare but I had my first child at 19 for a man I thought I'd be with forever, we were together for 4 years. I didn't get married until I was 25... To someone else, after only a year of dating. Your happily ever after will come. Don't think you've failed because everyone else is getting married/engaged right now. Don't miss out on your happiness tryna keep up with the Joneses

@telliey, yeah you're completely right
