They are teenagers. They are having their own lives now. Hanging out at your house is not their life. And it shouldnt be forced on them. If they were younger, maybe.

If boyfriend was really interested in coming over, he'd make it happen without dragging teens with him.

you will never know that for certain...not even close
marriage is a huge gamble/risk


part of me says, if one of you is not willing to relocate for the other, than what happens when a truly big sacrifice is needed...


another part of me says this would be ideal...keep your own residence, be together when you want, be apart when you want, your not locked together financially either...ideal...then this part of me says why even get married...just be a monogamous couple without the legal agreement...and that is pretty much how I feel about marriage...why...why lock yourself to someone financially...I know and know of plenty of peeps who don't divorce ONLY because they cant afford it, live in misery...why why why

Tooling around on a tractor, going where you want, is fun. Not driving up & down & back, over & over, mowing 2 1/2 acres at some woman's yard his dad is banging, who only pays with video games and not cash. There is nothing fun about that.

Yes.

After the first two months you've complained quite a bit.

He tried doing that but they got into trouble home alone and their grandfather put his foot down to take them or stay home with them.

Bf and I have our kids most of the time. So if we are moving towards living together, which is the only way I will stay in this relationship, the kids will have to accept it.

Well because I want the husband and married life. I have had 20 years of flings, and short term relationships. I am done with all that.

If that is all he wants than he can move on to find it with someone else.

Only because I don't see him. I want to come home from work fix dinner, spend time with the kids, put kids to bed and spend the evening with my spouse.

Time to move on. Everything he is saying and signaling says you are not the one for him.

You need 10 years of not dating, being single, and not trying to get a husband. Only then will you be possibly be ready to date and get married.
