Based on your scenario James, Mr. Magnetism says he wants to have children. If he expects me to go through childbirth, then I expect to have a engagement ring, wedding band, and wedding party beforehand. If not, then I'm gone, I don't care if the guy is Donald Trump Jr. or Joe Cop.
If he's so concerned about something going wrong, then go to couples counseling to hash out whatever concerns and expectations there maybe.
As for something going wrong, I think Catherine Zeta Jones was right to have written in her pre-nup that if there's proof of infidelity by Michael Douglas there's an automatic fine of millions of dollars. There are couples who have every possible scenario and consequences written out.
This guy is using supposed financial concerns as a reason not to get married. That's his choice. Then she also should have the option of walking away and not become kept as a concubine. He will eventually get married just not to her.
