My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year now. I thought things were growing beautifully between us. He’s my best friend and I’m crazy about him. So much so that I told him I envisioned a future with him in it. I did not expect a marriage proposal but I had hoped he would express a mutual desire to one day. Instead he shared that he had no thoughts of the future at all. He only thinks about the present and he feels he has more growing up to do before he entertains marriage and a family etc.

I am 28 and he is 26. I want more than anything to be a wife and mother one day.

Do I wait for the day we are both on the same page? Or do I move on and find someone who wants the same things that I want?

I really do not want to give up on this relationship because I love him. I also do not want to wake up and be 30, 32, 34 and still not have the family that my heart desires. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!
