Girl, you gotta have the marriage discussion before you have his kids. You went and had two kids with him. Many people do things backwards nowadays.

[gothie]

Don’t be a wife to someone who isn’t willing to make you a wife

[kyleighthurman]

Girl, she knows exactly what she would tell her daughter…she just doesn’t want to admit it to herself.

[mysticaltyger]

This is one reason why having kids outside of marriage is such a disaster.

[georgewagner]

First comes love,
Then comes marriage.
Then comes the baby in the baby carriage.
We sang this as kids.

[melissapowell]

She knows what she would tell her daughter, but she doesn't want to say it out loud yet.

[tmb]

Same position I was in....waited 8 years and decided I would rather be single than stay with someone that didn't feel I was worth the "risk"

[karebear]

Boyfriend has the best of both worlds, he lives a married life without the legal obligations on paper.

[swannyriver]

Never let a man tell you twice that he doesn't want you...Judge Lynn Toler. PERIOD

[StunningTransformations]

Ladies, this is why you NEVER have children out of wedlock!!!

[francefradet]

I know a man who was strung along for years, then she left him and was married within months. He was devastated. A builder who worked for my mother. He confided in her. Leave fast. He will marry, just not you.

[frugalprepper]

I met my wife and one week later I asked her to marry me and 2 months latter we got married. We have been together for 18 years. We love each other more than ever.

[Kiyonce.Kartier]

my ex was trying to pressure me into having several children with him without being marrying or even finding us an apartment to live in. No ring for me, no children for him, no relationship for either of us.

[carlaritchie]

She'd better start planning how to support herself and kids. Once he finds the woman he WANTS TO MARRY, he will be out the door in a flash.

[homesteadrevivals]

She won't even be able to collect social security on his work record. She's lost years in her employment record, years of equity building, years when she could have been in a relationship with someone who would treat her well.

If your goal is marriage, only date people who truly want to get married. It isn't hard. You have to have these conversations early. In my opinion before you even go on a date.

[ashley-jsrk]

Was in a long engagement, we finally married and he passed away a yr later. We did have children together. If we had not been married I wouldn’t have been able to have a say on many things that are involved, nor entitled to what we built together. The order of a relationship is so important!

[gracegornall]

I’m in the exact same boat and have tears streaming down my face from the support and strength these gentlemen reminded her she had. Thank you deeply for this and for showing us some men truly have integrity, honor and are excited to commit and build a family and partnership.

[houndmother]

I'm 65, single, no kids. Make about 55, 000 a year. My parents divorced when I was 11. Substance abuse and some violence and emotional abuse. I decided that I didn't need that. I probably won't be as happy as I could have been but I won't be as miserable either.

[sweettoothmomma]

I like the question Dave asks " in 20 years your daughter is 24 asking the same thing, what do you tell her". That's perfect, she would advise her daughter to leave and find someone who loves her. So sad 😢
