My friend has been dating her bf for the last 3 yrs, both are 27. They've been living together very happily for the last yr & a half. From what she tells me, both love spending lots of time together & don't get sick of each other. Both have law degrees & have been working about a yr at fairly good starting salaries, they're temporarily living w/his sister & her husband until they find a place of their own, they share a lot of common interests, & they get along well w/each other's family. In short, they have a great relationship.
BUT (& this is confusing), although he acknowledges that he can see marrying her "someday" & he would like to marry her "someday," he's not too keen on discussing even generally WHEN marriage might occur. He's fine discussing the ceremony (small wedding), the family (1-2 kids), finances, etc. but if the conversation turns to WHEN this'll take place, he clams up.
Why does he clam up? Does he actually not want to marry her? If not, why feed her the bull?
