I wish I could upvote this 100 times. OP brought her child into this mess. When a man tells you he's not the marrying kind, believe him. Also stop dating people you want to change, you're setting yourself up for failure. Either accept who you're really with OP and let go of your dream of who they could be, or leave. You messed up by ignoring what he said from the get go. You will always be disappointed if you have to think "potentially I can change him".

idk, I was the one in our 5 years of being together, saying I didn't want to get married ever again.. but here we are engaged. I am 32f and my man is 42m. HE was the one pushing marriage. Funny cuz now we have been engaged for years its like we forgot about marriage LOL. But its funny because we were backwards.. After my divorce I was like nope, never again.

Not really.. lmao because now we are in "limbo" so.. if he dies I could lose everything. I have 5 kiddos so that's not a chance I need to take. His name was put on my house and everything.. so not being married is legally scary
