I shot myself in the foot perhaps early in the relationship by joking about 'never getting married again'. But since then we have moved in together and have been very happy for years. I know it sounds silly but refering to him as my 'boyfriend' is just driving me crazy!! I'm 32 and everytime, I say it I feel like I'm either back in high school or people think I'm not rooted. Besides that, the tax benefit and health insurance benefits are worth a possible $500 divorce (un romantic, I know but practical). He's very shy and had admitted that he's so happy that I suggested we move in together because it would've taken him awhile to sum up the courage. I don't want to propose to him because he is so eager to please, I'm afraid in the future I'll wonder if it was really what he wanted. How do I let him know I want to get married very SUBTLY? Besides this issue we have a very communitcative relationship.
