I've been with my b/f for a little over 7 years and we're still not engaged. We met when we were 18 and love each other very much. We talk about marriage and ideas for our wedding, etc...so I know he isn't "afraid", but he still hasn't asked. Years ago he began asking me to pick out rings that I liked, so of course, I did. A few months ago he showed me a ring he liked and said he stopped looking after he saw it.
I've asked him why he hasn't asked me yet and he said b/c he wants to make sure that we are financially ready and that he wants my life to be perfect. He only recently got a better paying job and we've been saving up for a house.
Recently, several couples that we know met, got engaged and got married and we're still not. Just when I thought he might ask me, his sister got engaged and I was devastated b/c she had only been w/ he b/f for a year.
Does anyone have some supportive words or advice to help me through this waiting period?
