Yay - glad the conversation went well! I guess that topic is NEVER easy to bring up. I've been with my bf for 5 years, and no real talk of marriage, even though we kind of live like we're life partners anyway. He has 2 kids - one out of wedlock and one from his ex-wife. I've hinted I'd like a child with him and he's skirted the subject, but not rejected. I'm on birth control, and hoping that's enough for me not to fall pregnant until we both decide now's the time.
