The Very Long Non-Engagement

21Apr10

My boyfriend and I have been together for six years and have lived together for four. We have a really great relationship and I’m really happy with him… but lately it has started to bother me that we’re not engaged. We’ve talked about marriage, and both assume we will eventually get married but he continues to say that there’s no real point in doing it yet. He wants to wait until we’re a little more financially stable and closer to having kids. But he’s been saying this for four years now. It never used to bother me but now I feel like we ARE more financially stable and we ARE closer to wanting kids (or at least I am), and he’s still putting me off. It’s not like I think he’s going to leave me or isn’t committed but I’m starting to think that he would just as happily stay unmarried forever, and that is starting to make me mad. So, what do you think? Is this worth being mad about? Or should I just be patient? -Kelly, 28.
