Hi berni1106,

I think he has made it clear when he said you would be better off marrying a stranger right now than him. Maybe he doesn't ever want to get married or doesn't want to marry you. Who knows but you need to leave if he isn't giving you what you need or want. That's what it comes down to. I am currently trying to work out how long to give my partner until he proposes and we have been together for 3 yrs and 8 mths. I don't know your whole situation but I would be a bit worried if he doesn't want to get married after 11 years, especially since you have a child together.

Hope it turns out the way you want it to!
