Hi Penni,

I don't know much about the pentacoscal piece - sorry! Let me try to address your questions even so:

It sounds like you really like this guy but are worried about how he feels about you having two children by another man. Have you ever asked him how he feels? As far as who can propose, what do you imagine would be the problem with a woman popping "the question?"

Bottom line: I think there are a few more conversations you need to have with him before the step of marriage is taken anyway - like how he feels about you having children, etc.

Sit him down and ask him directly!
