Am I tripping? Its time to purchase the cow!

edited April 2011 in Pregnant
Ok.. I would never post this on any other boards but I love the pregos on here. Never been up for putting my business in the streets either. But here we go!

So I was previously married and I have 3 kids from it ranging from 7 to 18. So I'm 37 years old and now divorced and my honey and I have been strong for 2 yrs. He doesnt have any kids and is wonderful with mine. We agreed that I should be a stay him mom while he works and I tend to the house, kids and baby.. and also finish getting my Masters.

So here's the problem.. once you've been married its hard to just be a baby momma... and that's how I feel tight now.

We've talking about marriage and he says he wants to and he's in this with me for life... and his actions have shown this.. but when I bring up marriage he shuts down. He claims he wants to buy me this gorgeous ring I can be proud of.... my last ring was 2.5 karats, but I.don't need.all that. I'm like if that's the case then put that shit on lay-away ... but he hasnt moved toward that either.

But... now he wants me to relocate about an hour away closer to his job. He commutes 1 hour each way to and from work daily. He's getting tired and gas is high. He wants to be closer to his job.

I told him today I love him but I'm not relocating me and ALL THE KIDS including this baby unless I'm either engaged or married.

In addition: He loves loves loves the thought of me having his baby.. along with his family. Everyone's going baby crazy buying stuff and making a fuss over me.

Soooo.. He said he has to move cause he has almost fell asleep on the road twice and wants me to move too. But I'm putting my foot down on this subject. I'm not relocating for a BD.. I'm already giving him a baby that's enough sampling milk from this cow... time to take ownership and purchase it. I'm not leaving but I'm not relocating either.

  • I agree to a certain extent. If he falls asleep driving u will never forgive urself. I see both points of view.
  • It may be awhile coming but I think u will appreciate a proposal more if u know its truly heart felt and not partially due to an ultimatum.
  • I see ur point..but ur situation could b a whole lot worst he could left u high and dry with the baby...and since u gonna b a stay at home mom it would b better to move closer which will save money. If he never wanted to marry u I say dnt but since he does u should cut him some slack and on the ring thing is where his ego comes into play he wants wen u flash the ring he feel good about it.

  • @Carley ... I agree and I'd fallow him anywhere BUT I'm not the only one I have to relocate... my 3 kids too. As a mother I can't relocate my babies for a baby daddy, it has to be more of a committed relationship.

    This Im gonna marriage you game can go on for years.

  • @lexi34 ... it may come across as an ultimatum but I'm already giving him a baby and not being married..
  • @kerrideRN I agree.. I just need more! a solid committed relationship.

    I see my aunt, my sister and a few friends in these relationships waiting to get married and these me are claiming they want to BUT they haven't.
  • I agree with you ynvtish. I wouldn't move until there was a ring but that's me.
  • I would feel the same way as u. Time to buy the cow! Lol here's an idea though. What if u pick out ur rings but u wear the band for now (probably much cheaper) then when u get married get the big rock? He has more time to save for the big guy and u get engaged quicker! That way everyone is happy!

  • It meant to sound rude but seeing how u got 3 other kids u shoulda of waited for him to put a ring on it befote getting preggo that shoulda been something u put ur foot down for instead of moving....but he dere for the long hall and even if he put a ring on it u still gonna have to take the kids anyway...so the kids is not the issuse the ring is.
  • I would heavily consider his offer a good man is hard to come by these days and it might male him want to propose faster ....u want the beat marriage possible so u want it to b when he is ready but I understand how u feel though and ur reasons
  • @kerideeRN I totally agree
  • U trippin boo boo
  • I agree with all of you.. even @lexi34 with that rude ass comment. Just kidding, I don't get offended easily.. and your right, that's why my ass is back paddling right now. Just kidding about that too.

    But I'm pregnant and naturally you'll think about the next step and want it.

    I feel like he's being stubborn and making me wait with this attitude like "ain't no body about to force me"


    But I also feel forced to relocate... we can stay put and keep playing house until he's ready for that next step.

  • @kerrideRN yeah.. weve live together for a year now. Been together for 2 years.
  • so wat if he breaks it off? caz he tired of driving back and forth..all of that could of been avoided if u wasnt so head strong on the ring.

  • I waited almost 3 years to fet engaged, then another year to get married....my husband was engaged twice before me, and neither worked out, although I brought up marriage several times, it did nothing but lead to an argument...during the time we were together but not engaged we bought a house and me a truck...we didn't get married until we were together almost 5 years....I was the most happiest girl in the world....that is, up until recently...now I'm wondering if divorce should be in our future.
  • @camomommy2 ... (((WOW))) now YOU got my attention!

    Thats real talk right there!
  • Lol....man, his mom HATES me....she tells him all this crap about me cheating and lying to him....and she lives over 2 hours away from us....she told me when we first got together that his first girlfriend "laura" was the best girlfriend he has ever had, and she wished he was still with her.. .well "laura" cheated on him, and got pregnant by another guy, and told my husband the baby was his.....half way through the pregnancy she told him she cheated and truely don't think the baby is his....me on the other had, been in love with him since day one, has never ever lied to him, and never gave cheating a thought.....I truely love my husband....but I can't stand the stuff his mom tries to stir up.....and he wont defend me when it comes to her.....idk when enough is enough, but I've had it....I just have to get a little stronger, and get out on my own.
  • @camomommy2 how many months are you
  • Ha I have a planned c-section in 27 days.
