My boyfriend is trying to pressure me to get married

He’s a dud not a dude. Lives with his parents and has no car. No wonder he’s in a hurry to marry. He’s a deadbeat. Ditch him

You more that tik tok with the fast paced music and all they say is “run”? I was singing/playing that in my head as I was reading your post. Way too soon imo, I agree with you, he needs to get his life together first, and clearly he’s being selfish if he’s trying to push for things you’re not ready for them says he doesn’t want to fight when you try to explain your wants/needs and feelings to him. Run girl… as fast as you can. Trust me when I say… that’s just the top of this ice burg!

You. Should. Run.
Literally all I hear in this is what he wants. You clearly don’t or you’d have done it already. So many red flags with this one.

Think of it this way…
If he wants children and marriage so badly, you sticking around will ultimately stop his goals. Let the man go find someone who wants that in that short of a time frame.

You have not invested in this relationship yet. You got a good head or your shoulders. You are a logical thinker , and you are able to see red flags and understand these intentions sound weary.

Please find someone who is on the same wavelength as you. Who can contribute to your relationship, provide support to your business, and grow together.

Anything less, you are cutting yourself short and soon will be a victim.

3 Likes

I think if you cut your losses now, you’ll still have time to find a real man.

That sounds like a snare trap, if I ever heard of one.

There are so many reasons to run. But if you can find a good enough reason to stay, that’s your decision. Just think about this: you’re already questioning the relationship, and you’ve only been seeing him for a month.

I don’t know if this is legitimate or not.I don’t know if it’s pathetic or laughable. Maybe both !!! I didn’t even read the entire post !!! I got to the part of him living with his parents and not having a job… GOOD GRIEF woman - think about it !!! He wants YOU to be his ticket out !!! Think about what YOU have that is appealing to him !!! Perhaps you have your own home… you have an income, some type of financial support. HE thinks ALL HE has to do is charm you- confess HIS love for YOU !!! Tell him he is moving way too fast !! ASK yourself why is he SO desperate???
He seems controlling and self centered IF he shuts you down and wont hear your logic/ thoughts. WHY consider a relationship/ marriage when communicating is THE most important aspect of it and he is NOT hearing you at all ???
Duhhhhh, anything is better for him than where HE IS NOW girl !!! Wait for a MAN that has had ambition and HAS something to show for it !!! You don’t deserve to be ANYONEs meal ticket !!! Wake up , smell the coffee…don’t be flattered by him wanting to marry you !!!
Wait for a man who brings stability to your future bc he all ready has his own girl …

There is a problem here. Still lives with parents, no car, no money?? Where does his money go?? He has no responsibilities. I think I would keep looking and show this guy the door. To be the age he is and has nothing is a real problem. You have goals for yourself and don’t let him change them. He is not for you in my opinion.

3 Likes

You already know what you need to do. You need to pursue your dreams and happiness first. He is not putting your wants and needs first. Just his. Also sounds like he wants to get married because your his ticket to get out of his parents house. How do you live with your parents and work for them but don’t have a car? He sounds very immature and there is obviously a reason while he is single with no kids.

I have to say I stopped reading after a paragraph or so because this is a HUGE RED FLAG! Like, my Adrenaline is pumping screaming RUN :running_woman: as fast as you can!

  1. Pressuring marriage after 30 days…you haven’t even BEEN TOGETHER that whole time!
  2. Works for his parents or mooching off his parents?!?!
  3. Lives with his parents.
  4. Doesn’t have a car.
  5. Attitude when you are being reasonable and logical? Ummm. No.

Let me tell you, he wants your assets, a free place to live and someone to pay his way. He doesn’t want a wife.
He wants kids because then you are STUCK with him.

You have things going for you…starting your own business. Independent living and being self sufficient, why would you want to saddle yourself with a manipulative man-child freeloader who has no ambition to make something of himself?

Mr Right is there, don’t settle for less than a good man who doesn’t have red flags. Love does NOT conquer all! You can’t love him into what you want him to be.

Make a list of the characteristics and attributes you want in a man. I guarantee this dude isn’t it.

Your thoughts and needs aren’t, unfortunately, on the same page…

Maybe he doesn’t want to be an old man when he has kids? Your clocks ticking too…You don’t have much time either if you’re in your 30’s. After 35, problems in fetuses can appear like down syndrome for one. But whatever. It doesn’t sound like you are ready so just tell him that.

Run far away sis. You don’t have to explain to him why you don’t want to get married right now! It honestly sounds like he’s after more than marriage it sounds like he wants the physical benefits of marriage.

He’s showing you his true colors, if you don’t like it now, you won’t like it after marriage. Decide what you want and tell him, if he doesn’t like it move on. It’s only been a month, you don’t have to stick with it, and have heard nothing about loving each other. I’d leave… BTW-I’ve been single for much longer, it’s worth being single forever than being trapped in a relationship.

Narcissist!!! Regular guys don’t ask you to marry them after that little time! Believe me! Run!!! Sounds like you’re working on starting a business & you’re a strong woman… Typical prey of a narcissist!
Don’t panic about time, years, age… with love! Don’t settle just because you don’t want to be alone. Love finds you when you’re not looking for it… True love is love that grows… it doesn’t happen in two dates!
If you aren’t ready to get married, don’t get married!

My fiance knew he wanted to marry me after the first 3 months of being together and we aren’t married yet and when I got with him 2 weeks after he quit his job and was unemployed for a few months till he found another neither one of us had good financing. He lived with his friend and I loved with my mom and now its been 3 years and we have a house new cars and together we both have 3 kids him one and me 2 from previous relationships. Id talk to him and ask him why he wants to rush it. And if u like him then talk to him and when he cops an attitude id say to him what his reasoning for his attitude is. Twll him you wanna do things when ur ready and yall need to be on the same page. I look for answers before I decide on things and my ex was a narcissist like bad one and this seems extreme unless he’s celibate too and doesn’t wanna be the 40 yr old Virginia and thats why he’s rushing

Run, don’t walk, away. You’ve only been together for a month, barely see each other, and he wants marriage? He wants you to quit everything and move to him when he lives with his parents? Where does he expect you to live?! Is he expecting you to also live with his parents. This whole situation is soooo many red flags. Also, saying you want it to work because you’re tired of being single is ALSO a red flag. You’re settling. Don’t.

Don’t change your ways. Open up your business and do what you want first if it’s meant to be he will be there when you are ready.

You said yourself that he doesn’t consider your dreams, he just wants you to fall in to HIS plans. You need to get away from this guy! I know it’s not fun being single, but if you stay with him, I think you’re going to be living his dreams by supporting him and doing what he wants. You have your life planned out in a very good way, so please don’t let him take over and mess things up! It’s way to early to be talking about a baby! Get rid of this guy now!

Run. Run as far away from this man as you possibly can. I basically could have written this minus the single 8yrs prior part. I ended up moving halfway across the country with the guy after we’d only known each other for a month and a half. Got engaged, got pregnant. I miscarried (in hindsight it honestly was probably for the best), dude turns out to be certifiably crazy, his family is as toxic as they come. Had to have my family send me funds to help me get back across the country to get home, lived with my family for a while to get back on my feet. It was a whole mess. He threatened to come find me, his family harassed me for a long time. It was a dumpster fire.
