Please advise me, how can I get my boyfriend to marry me?
We have known each other for five years, and we live together for four of them. I regret that I agreed to move in with him without getting married, but he was so assured that we would get married in a year, there would be a wedding and a white dress. Now he says he made no such promises, but said he had to get on his feet, live for himself, and then start a family.
My friend advised me to get pregnant and then he would have nowhere to go. But I don’t want to trick him into marrying me. And if he leaves me with a child? My parents tell me to move out of his house; if he wants me, he’ll propose and take me back; if not, I’ll stay an illegitimate wife until he meets a younger man.
I love him and he loves me too. He gives me presents and does not spare money on me, as he earns well. But I want a family and a child. All my friends have been married for a long time, my children go to school, and I am like some kind of outcast. I’m ashamed to meet with them, every time I get the same question: “Are you married, do you have children? I could leave the city.
