Suddenly changed my mind about marriage

Just wanted to canvas opinions! Name change as DP knows username!

I'm divorced, one DS with ex. With new DP for 3 years now, we have baby DD together. We've talked about marriage a fair amount; I always felt like going through divorce was unpleasant but wouldn't put me off getting married again. We discussed rings, where we'd get married that sort of thing.

Recently though I've started to have real doubts about it. We live together but I own the house. I have a good job/income. So realistically I feel like I'm in a better position than him if we broke up.

I feel scared about being tied down again, everything seems much easier at the moment and there's no real reason to be married!

Why do I suddenly feel like this?!

Sometimes the advantage of marriage is simply so that you'd be better off financially if you divorced. If you would do better without marriage - like not having to give up half your house - then why not keep things as they are until you get hit by lightening and need to be joined in matrimony.

Your life - your choice. There's no right or wrong here.
But he may not agree and decide to move on to find someone who will commit to him.
