Tell me what you think of his marriage proposal........?
I am very confused. On Christmas morning my boyfriend of 4 years asked me to marry him. At the time he seemed very sincere. He did not have a ring because he said he wanted me to go with him and pick it out myself. The problem is that since then the subject seems like it is being avoided. Why would he ask me to marry him and now not even want to talk about it?? Am I over reacting or did he just ask me to marry him because he thought that is what I wanted???
Honestly - I am not in a big hurry to get married. I did say yes. And I do want to marry him. We have been together a long time. We live together and have kids together. And I know that I want my future to be with him. But I am not in a hurry. Part of me wants the security of being married - but we are both divorced and I think we still carrry alot of "baggage" from our first marriages - and I feel like we have alot to still work through before saying "I do."
I am just having trouble understanding him....any ideas??

If you feel you are not ready yet then you need to be
straight with him and explain to him why and not tell him
yes when you're not ready. You both have been in that
marriage thing before and it may take a bit longer to
really have that feeling again. Well guess what take the
time you need to make sure this time it will work out. You
are both living togeather with your children so you have
all the time in the world to make that final committment.
Remember marriage is a life time committment and you
both failed in that on your first marriage. So be sure and
he needs to be sure also before you commit again.

That's just what guys do. They don't get as excited as girls do.
Ask him straight out if he still wants to get married, and ask for a straight answer. Go from there.
Good luck!

Ask him to go ring shopping with you! See how he answers.
Get pre-marriage counseling, even if it didn't work out you could learn allot about yourself!
