what do I do

me & my partner have been tgt for over 4 years now, we had a very welcomed and loved but unplanned pregnancy, from the moment they told me I knew I wanted to be a family and marry him. I expressed this to him without being pushy, I told him when the pregnancy is over, I would want to at least be engaged. I’m 5 months post partum and I have brought it up a few times now, he doesn’t seem like he wants to propose, Keeps on saying he’s “not ready” ? Even tho we’ve been living together for years and literally have a son? I’m tired of waiting around but I also depend on him financially right now I have nowhere to go. Unless I moved out of state with my mom but then I feel guilty he will miss his son’s childhood. Please help. What do I do? Should I just wait until he wants to propose

Figure out why he isnt "ready"... if he isnt sure about being with you forever by now, I doubt he ever will be?

I personally think pressuring someone into proposing is not a good idea… it will lead to resentment down the line. Do you really want to live your life always wondering if he only proposed because you gave him an ultimatum? He is right not to propose just because you have threatened him to leave… I think you need to have a very open and honest conversation to determine his reasons behind not feeling ready and whether he definitely sees marriage in his future.

I like this YouTube channel. This question pops up every now and again.
