writes:if a man does not propose after dating for 3 years and9 months, should a person leave the relationship or just hang on and hope that it will happen soon? his grown children which are married pitch a fit when he mentions getting engaged or even married. the son-in-law is a bully and wants to control my man as well as everyone else. this family gives this ass far too much power i think. his kids are so very selfish because their father took care of their mother for 31 years. (she was ill). i feel that it is time for him to enjoy his life. what would you guys do about this?

I think the anonymous reader is right.
You should do exactly that.
Remind him that he is their dad and should command respect from his kids.
They are probably only worried about their inheritance coming to you instead of them. And it's a good point about who is going to look after him when he is ill.
Get him to ask his kids which one of them he can come and live with when he gets too old to live alone.
The minute they stand in awkward silence and then bring up nursing homes, then he will know they don't care.
Good Luck!! xx
