Boyfriend of 2 years
I’ve been dating this guy, he’s just the kinda guy I need in my life. He has his shit together, and pushed me to get my shit together. We first started talking and hanging out almost every day.. I’d stay the night and a couple months later I’d leave a bag at his house and just go to his house after work instead of mine. Then about 6 months into the relationship he asked me to move in and I did. He owned his house and it was nice to see him more and have a steady relationship. My family loves him and his family adores me. Well fast forward to about 4 months ago he sold his house and we bought a bigger house... we went from 2 bd/1ba 950 sq ft on two lots to 4bd/4ba 2800 sq ft with 14 acres of woods. We moved because I told him I wanted more space to put things and to raise a family in and literally a month later we were looking at houses. Now here’s the part I can’t get over. We don’t call each other babe or baby and he’s never told me he loves me. He acts like he loves me and reassures me when I need it but the words never have came out of his mouth. Now 2 years is a short time so I’m not too stressed about it but he’s 24 and I’m almost 22. I know I love him and I’ve stopped myself multiple times from saying it because I don’t want it to be awkward if he doesn’t feel the same way and I want to hear it from him first so I know it’s genuine. I’ve had ex’s tell me they love me but it never seemed true. But I want to completely settle down, I want a ring, a marriage, and children. I had my 5 year plan when I was 20 and it was that by the time I was 25 I’d like to have my first kid. To some that’s “too young” but to me I know what I can give and I know I want to have children young. I want to be a younger mother and he says he doesn’t know his plan but children aren’t out of the picture. Is it weird he hasn’t said he loves me, or am I being crazy? Ya girl needs advice to keep her sane.
