I Did It
posted December 3rd, 2019 at 9:30 PM
So I had been dating my boyfriend for six years. He keeps telling me its never the right time to get married because of the economy or his job and I was just so fed up. Its just one excuse after another.
I cook and clean and pay probably 75% of the bills. So I kicked him out and told him unless I see a ring on this finger he's not coming back.
This was the hardest decision of my life.

The 1950's called. It wants its values back.

Some of them never grow up. He wants his mommy. He's not husband material.

I appreciate your decision for you.
However, putting an ultimatum on him is exactly why he will not come back.
You and him were 75%.
Do not compromise for him, but do not be surprised when he does not compromise for you.
Be true to you.
Nice Job

Only don't take him back! If you were doing 75% then.. if you get married it will be worse! Find a 50/ relationship!

Yes, girl! You did the right thing. If he knows what’s good for him, he’ll get a better job and start paying half of the bills and even save up a little money to put a ring on that finger.
So...

... what is it that he has that you like? I mean, I'm employed, I own a home, I wash myself, I cook, clean, mend clothing, all these things. Is it that you want a man to take care of, who _needs_ you? Like, I don't need a woman, I'd like to have kids, but I know that won't happen.
So, let me guess: he's pretty good looking, right? I mean, you were first interested in him because he was hot, right?
You don't want him back ...

He is not worth it. A ring on the finger will not be worth it. You don't want to be legally married to someone and one day split and provide this guy spousal support and 1/2 of your joint savings (even if you put all the money in .. he would be entitled to it.) You sound like a smart person and you are your own woman. Another worthy partner will see this and want to be with you and split chores/cooking/bills 50/50.

Why not show the world how strong you are, buy the rings and ask him to marry you. Its all about equality now not those old outdated values that died before you where born.
You do love a human more than a shinny trinket plucked from the earth by child slaves right?
If not you live in the right city and should have no issue meeting prince charleton.
Huh?

If he can't come back unless you see a ring on his finger, wouldn't that mean he's gone and married someone else?
