My boyfriend is always talking about marriage with me. All his friends are either married or engaged or almost about to be engaged! He tells me that everyone knows that we are going to get married and that he can't wait to be married and start a family. I am 22 and he is 25. However, everytime we talk about it he mentions the fact that he will only be married at 28 and therefore engaged at 27. If i'm supposedly the one he wants to be with, then why would he have to wait so long in order to ask me!?!? Is he just stringing me along? Am i being naive? i'm not sure what to think. Its not that i'm in a rush, i just dont understand what he's thinking or what he is rationalizing!!

He just likes the thought. How long have you too been together? If its been more than 2 years give it up. He isnt going to do anything. Move on. Trust me I KNOW!!! I stayed in for 3 1/2 years to long and a waist of time.

I am having a simliar issue with my boyfriend. I am 23 he is 25. We have been together a little over 2 years. We have been living together practically since we began dating. I just nervous sometimes like, is he not sure I am the one. But he says he doesn't want to rush into anything. I think that because my closest friends have either gotten married and started having babies that he thinks that's why I want to marry him. Sometimes I think that he doesn't understand that I want to marry him because I love him so much and I know that he's the one for me and I can't wait to officially be his wife.
I just have to be patient. Because I do love him so much, I need to wait until he is ready. His parents are divorced, his sister is divorced and his brother has been divorced twice. I don't really blame him for being cautious.
Hang in there, your boyfriend will come around. In the mean time, don't press the isssue, Like my boyfriend says, "When you ask me when, it pushes it back, because I don't want you to think that I am asking you just because you want me too or because other people think it's time." Enjoy each other right now, I promise, he will come around.!!!!!!
