My boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years, and at times I wish we could get married, but at 22 and 23, with me still in school and him just starting a job, I know we aren't ready. I know he plans to marry me someday, but at what point, at what age, have I waited too long? I would like to get married in 3 years, but I have a very strong feeling he won't ask in the next year or two. He talks about not getting married until he's 30, but I don't know if he is serious or just picks that age b/c it is a "safe" distance away. I don't want to wait that long. He talks about wanting to have his feet on the ground financially (I do too) and have established his name within his business. I don't think any of that is irrational, but why can't he do the establishing while married? I love him dearly, and can't imagine marrying someone else, but at what point do I have to call it quits? At what point do I walk away knowing that he will never marry me
