First, I'm not a cow. Second, if anyone is a cow, it's my lover since he has a certain kind of milk and while I may have breasts, I'm certainly not going to reproduce and am absolutely disgusted by the thought of breast milk. Third, why is he 'buying' 'the cow'? I asked him this and he laughs, not only because the phrase is funny in that offensive way. You see, we live together and consider ourselves married, in the original sense, and have a wedding in the works for appearances and gifts, nothing more.
Does he want to 'buy the cow' so that he can butcher the cow and get a steak?? Should I fear for my life?

No, I'm not 12! I'm in my early 20's. He's 25.
He says, cows are cute. You are cute. Therefore you are a cow.
I scream, false logic!
He says, just face it you are a cow.
I take another sip of my alcoholic beverage.

The question is, should I fear for my life now that he's buying a cow? He says he doesn't want a steak, but I don't know if I should believe him!

I just found a new way to interpret this cow, free, milk situation. If you go ahead and buy the cow, YOU will be the "One and Only" and the "Only One" getting free milk from that special heffer. Never assume you're the only farmer on the ranch if you find yourself feeling lactose intolerant. Got milk? No, I mean your own. Forever and ever.

Girl, either you ask a direct question, or don’t ask anything.
As far as I understand, you are talking about a cow, buying the cow, getting milk and steak, breast feeding (why are you grossed out by that??), a wedding for looks (ok, you really need help from a doctor)....
What the hell are you talking about ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Second response (for your second post):
Are you fat or something that he refers to you as "cow"? If you are, he is a jerk and you should kick his a s s out of your life.
Now, if he is just joking around, and he says that because he likes to see you as a good piece of meat and milk as he will one day "suck your breasts", then he is still an idiot, but at least he is honest on what he thinks.
If you don’t like those stupid comments (some people actually don’t care if they been knowing for long and is a inside the relation joke only) then just tell him to stop, right away and never call you names again, otherwise the relation is over. Or, you cal always call him a pig with a small sausage (lets see if he likes that), or a donkey (as a good a s s he is), oir whatever you think is funny and can get him back as good.
I can’t think of anything else to tell you at this point. Give us more clues on what is going on, is that a fetish thing, a joke, or what?
Third response (for your third post):
So he is buying a real life cow? Do you people own a farm or something? Or a have a big back yard prepared to have a cow? It is illegal to have a cow in many places unless you have a permit for it. and no, he can not kill the cow for a steak. He will go to jail.
Are you sure we are talking about a real cow here?? This is turning funny.

That's an old saying "Why pay for the cow if you get the milk for free?" Not a very subtle -- or elegant -- way of trying to suggest that a woman moving in with a guy is usually not a good idea.
You already moved in with him and now your planning on getting married. Only you know this man better than any of us yahoo answerer's and you know yourself better than we do. Your already in the act of pretend marriage (common law) and making it official only brings both your worlds together legally to become 1 person and not 2. So, when divorce time comes knocking on your front door you will legally and financially be responsible for 1/2 of everything in your life's plus your children won't be considered Bastard's.
So my advice? "Look before or you will find yourself behind",
"Since thou are not sure of a minute, throw not away an hour", "Fools make feasts, and wise men eat 'em". Moving in together and getting married officially is always about weighing the various components of the relationship. Be honest about your reasons, be honest with yourself.
Examining your Heart's true desire may lead you to some surprising conclusions.
Sincerely,
SuperDave

Old people think that men don't want to get married because they don't need to because they can get sex without being married - in their day, you needed to be married to have sex, so 20 year old guys wanted to get married when they liked a girl. Like now.
I'll humbly suggest that some men's fear of marriage has more to do with the fact that many 'cows' appear to refuse to provide milk after you buy them, though they do still make you sign an exclusive milk buying agreement from them.

Your wedding is for appearances and gifts! How incredibly mercenary. Not seeing a cow here but there is a lot of bull! There is no need to fear for your life and let's face it integrity is not an issue on either side of the relationship. Mooo ving on!

Wow, he really needs to stop calling you that. You obviously don't like it. It sounds like you are having a wedding for everyone, but you. That's the one thing that is supposed to be yours (it's HER day, let her do what she wants).
Yeah, that saying is probably waaaaaay out of date. The "milk" of which "they" speak is your sex. The payment is obviously the idea that he now takes "responsibility" for you. It's very tied to very old practices of fathers giving the responsibility of care over to the husband. It's very much in the days of husband works and wife works in the home, but not outside it.
Next time he calls you a cow, call him an *** (as in donkey).

WOW it's called an analogy
not to be taken literally
CALM DOWN
what it means is... why should a man marry you if you give him all the benefits already?
the answer to that is
why buy a pig for a little sausage?
