My guess is that marriage was in the cards until the family tragedy happened. Maybe she just dont want to have the ceremony – since she will be minus those who were so cherished. Its supposed to be a happy day – but i could see how the event- even planning it- could be a trigger for sad feelings. Hell – it aint like you can ever truly get over something like that.

I dont know the woman – and I’m not pro-wedding…I think its the most overrated thing ever. But for churchy folks and traditionalists – its a milestone of epic proportions. I dont know her – but lets not pretend that her “extra long engagement” is a lynchpin for disaster. Especially when we all got some elder kinfolk that have a far more messier love resume than simply not jumping the broom.

Sad Smh.

People need to stop shoving their views of marriage and relationships down other peoples’ throat. Somehow we have gotten to the point where we view love as only valid if it is confirmed with a marriage, and that’s just not true. The truth is that marriage and love really don’t have anything to do with one another. Marriage can be an affirmation of love, but the love isn’t any less strong if there is no marriage. They’ve been living together and raising a child together for a while now. The truth is, whether they are married or not, their lifestyle wont change one iota because they are living together as a family already. At this point marriage would only serve a purpose for legal reasons and personal spiritual (if that matters to them). He’s been with her for the full 8 years so clearly they have some form of an understanding, and contrary to what traditionalists seem to believe, just because they haven’t gotten married yet doesn’t mean the love and commitment to one another isn’t there. I too, feel like marriage is overrated and I’m tired of people acting as if marriage is a major milestone in every woman’s life and if you never get married then you somehow have not hit all of your womanly milestones. If he wants to be married than it’s up to him to address his needs with his significant other.

WHY BUY THE COW WHEN YOU GOT THE MILK?

I personally don’t think she has to explain this to anyone. If her man is still there and he’s okay with it, why are people complaining. They are both adults and I’m sure it will happen when the want it to. #leavethemgrownfolksalone

It’s their relationship and I wish people would remember rather than listening to outside opinions.

Folks downplaying marriage, but if you’re only a girlfriend, it doesn’t matter if you have 5 months in a relationship or 25 years. If you’re not married and something happens to your partner, you have no rights to make any decisions concerning their life, their assets, their pensions, savings, etc. Most states don’t recognize common law marriages, and the ones that do, have strict rules determining if it is legitimate. Personally, I wouldn’t commit to have a child with a man who hasn’t committed legally to me. Don’t make her a mother, if she’s not good enough to be your wife.

When they are ready!!! Y’all daddies have been living up under ya moms and you are well into ya twenties and he ain’t married her YET!!! People do what’s right for you. In my case when I started dating my husband, I new I was ready to get married and I expressed my feelings to him… so I’m yea
