Paulista,
You had better think twice before marrying a person such as this. If he truly loved you that would be the last thing he would be thinking of. He obviously does not know his role as a man. If this is a case and you do marry you are in for a long rough road!! I beg you not to marry a man for security and comfort only. If you do you will be miserable for the rest of your life! Why did it take 7 years before he decides he wants to marry? RUNNNNN really fast! Have Courage.
