Congrats on the new baby. As for their marriage, I wish them well. This proof of what I KEEP trying to tell people: you cannot force a man to marry you. A man will marry who HE deems wifey material. Doesn’t matter how many kids you have for him, how good you sex him–there have to be other GENUINE things about you that make him want you.
