Living together or marriage? What do you think?

Tagged as: Dating<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (20 March 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 21 March 2008)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend of 6 1/2 years, has actually made the next step of wanting to totally commit to me. This is after a email I sent last week saying I'm tired of playing games , good luck, i'm moving on ... He is now begging me to let him back into his life, loves me, miserable without me and so on. You know the story..

Anyways, here's the question,

We have known each other for this long now, we want to work out the kinks before moving in back together AGAIN and take it from there. That's fine with me, BUT do i give him a date, or we decide on the date to make the next step? either moving back in, marriage, or both....?

Also, I would like your veiwpoint on marriage, we are both in our 40's...we have been married before, and have had our kids from previous marriages. Kids are grown. So its just us. Can two people be as committed living together as a married couple? what are the drawbacks...?

dearkelja agony auntI do believe that two people can live together and be committed. Sure it's easier to get out of if things aren't working out but you're both old enough to know what you're getting into. Marriage is a nice bow to a solid relationship.

Um, I'm not too sure what to say, but I just wanted to comment on something. Marriage is a lot stronger than just living together! It bonds 2 people together, and seems like a real commitment, and not just a temporary fix. Good luck :]
