sydsmom2002 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 My significant other and I are both 25 years old. We have been together a little over 3 years. I have one daughter, that he has known since she was 1 and a half. My so and my daughter have a great relationship. My so and I have a great relationship. We operate as a family unit, live together, manage time/finances, etc. We don't have any huge issues. We have both completed medical/dental physicals, background/credit checks, etc and are now taking a"Before You Say I Do" class. However, my so doesn't know when he wants to be engaged, only that he wants to marry me one day. I would be lying if I said the relationship was perfect, but for the most part, its an average relationship with normal disagreements. I love him and I want to hang in there, but the thought that we are living as a family but unable to make the formal committment is driving me insane. I think about it all the time and he is too. I command the fact that he without any doubt wanted to go to the class as much as me. But on the flip side, we are at a point where we are not growing and we've done everything BUT get engaged. I love him, he loves me, I'm sure there is no doubt about that. We trust, believe, and honor one another, so it's not just love holding us together. I'd hate to let it all go out the window, because not only do I love and cherish him, so does my daughter and family. And we love his family as well...........But just how long should one accept, "One day" as an answer about your future??? HELP!!!! I don't want to make the wrong mistake.....
