Someone help me see the logic

We all know about the #10yearchallenge

So... I sent a meme to my boyfriend of the same hand in 2009 and 2019 and the meme said “still no ring” ... He got the joke, even though we’ve only been together for 2 years, he laughed it off, and then said that 2019 might be the year for a baby! My mouth dropped!

How is he ready to raise a child but not propose?! It shocked me so much, I thought babies would scare him 😂 I don’t think I’m quite ready myself yet though! 🤷🏼‍♀️ But, seriously, he wants a baby, but doesn’t want to marry me yet 😂 Maybe he has a plan in his mind already, I don’t know 🤷🏼‍♀️ But it just baffled and shocked me so much
