Yes, there is another update to this thread.
On Sunday, October 27 he asked me to marry him and I said YES!
We don't have a specific date picked out yet but are thinking late next year. That will give us time to find a place to live and to save up for the wedding. It won't be anything huge, he doesn't want that. I had my big wedding already and looked at how it turned out (divorce). He loves my daughter and she loves him so I have all that I need.
Thanks so much to everyone who offered the original advice. It was obviously spot on!
