I have a bf right now, he wants to have a longterm relationship with me but he doesn't like marriage. I won't mind living together first to know if we really click but I think marriage is still important. I am afraid of divorce and same as him. What can you say?

All I can say is to get married... when he's not ready yet, how soon is that? or he is really willing? you would know if he's into you when he gives in to your request, if he's got finance prob, why not try to talk it over and mind the budget as well. there are no problems that cannot be unsolved unless you want it that way. good luck.

Before I prefer living together, it doesn't matter for me if were not married. And same as yours I am afraid of this thing divorce but still i got married last December because my husbands family doesn't agree with live in arrangement, they are religious so we got married. Ask your bf if he has a plan to get married in the future if he says no then be alarm it means something. But for now its ok for the meanwhile to make live with him without marriage.

Hi, just check..once U indulge in Living together...Marraige will remain as unfulfilled dream. Divorce?Why fear the Unknown-from very beginning? My suggestion is to check Ur bf's INTENTION.I smell Rat... =lahiri,Kolkata,India.

ummm... i got same problem though.... well i think we should take one step at a time.. so we are planning to live together first then after 2 - 3 years will consider if we should get married or not. but the bottom line is if after 2-3 years his still not sure if he wants wedding bells then i guess... i should think of getting into dating game again! marriage is still important for me! ryt?
