Why Won`t My Man Marry Me

I`m 25 years old and my man is 24 we have been together for 5 years now. We have a 13 month old daughter and we`re raising my 10 year old nephew. He wanted to marry me 4 years ago, way to soon I wasn`t ready, but now that I have my baby, I can`t see myself with anybody else but him,but he doesn`t want to get married now. Why doesn`t he want to marry me?, and what should I do?

Ask him why he won`t marry you. Maybe when you turned him down, you gave him time to think about marriage. Why not accept and give yourself time to get married. You didn`t have to get married right away. I would talk to him or do like that singer Pink did and ask him!

Sometimes men need to feel that they`re needed, that they`re the strong ones who provide the support to the woman. When you turned him down it kind of makes them feel that they`re not needed, especially if you`re raising children, he sees you as a strong women who can handle things on her own and doesn`t need him, which bruises their egos. All they need is to feel needed, that you can`t do this without him...
