My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and a half. I love him to death we live together and are very serious. We used to talk about marraige all the time but now it is very seldom. I am not sure why....when I ask him why he says "we are going to get married" but he just doesn't bring it up as much. I don't want to be one of those pushy girls that like talks them into an engagement ring....and until recently I haven't really been that ready for it but I feel like I am now. I was talking to a guy that he works with last night and he was like oh he is crazy about u and is going to marry you and all this stuff but he just doesn't act that way to me. Any Idea why....am I just being silly? I need some advice pls! Thx in advance!

Well, if he doesn't like to bring up marriage I wouldn't. But if you're living together and stuff he may just be picking the courage to ask you to get married. I think that you should just give it a few more monthes considering life takes it turns.

Where is the incentive for him to get married? He's already enjoying the benefits of marriage without the commitment!

I think it is grateful that you're both living together, but I know some girls wants to get married. I think being able to be together and living together proves enough to be married. The only difference is both couples wearing rings and a certificate that says you're both legally married.

I don't understand what the problem is here. Sounds like a good relationship.....depending on your age, I would say to wait a bit longer on the marriage thing, but the fact that you know for a fact that both of you are on the same page is a good thing.

You aren't "going to get married" until you are engaged to be married on a specific date. Until then there is no promise. If it bothers you, propose to him. If he does not accept, it is your choice to wait and try again or move on.

perfect example of why your grandparents would say, why buy the cow when the milk is free..................he doesn't have to marry you, he has all the benefits of marriage, without the commitment.....
