Girls, What would you do if you been with your partner for 17 years and had 3 kids but you want to get married but your partner don't?

I can’t imagine myself in this situation, after being with someone for more than 2 years you should be discussing your future plans… ie whether you want marriage or kids. Communication is key! If you’re with someone for 17 years and you’ve never discussed the possibility of marriage with them, then there is a serious lack of communication.

I would not have had kids with him or been with him at all to begin with if I knew he didn't want to get married.

Why after seventeen years would you certainly feel and want to get married?

I'm asking this question because of someone I know. Like they been on want to be married before 17 years but the other person never propose to them

[EmmaMary]

That appears to be a very strange and almost ridiculous relationship... Obviously there's a huge lack of communication.

[Asker]

She stayed with him that long knowing he didn't want to be married to her

[EmmaMary]

Well for whatever reason the relationship has somehow hung together... Probably for the sake of the children.

I wouldn't let it get to that point. After the first year or two I'd tell him he knows me well enough that he knows if he wants to marry me or not. If it's a no then we'd break up.

Split.

17 years is a long time to keep waiting for if the partner doesn't too
