My boyfriend and I have been together for 8 months. Things have been good and bad but at the end of the day I KNOW I want to be with him. Last night we had a talk about if he knew I was the one and he said he doesn’t know. He told me that if it weren’t for my aunt and uncle then he probably wouldn’t still be with me. He said this because my uncle took 10 years to propose so he figured it my uncle grew into knowing then he might be able to grow into knowing. (His dad tells him all the time that he knew from the moment he met his mom that she was the one) so he puts a lot of pressure on knowing that someone is the one. At the end of it all I told him was what I wanted was not for him to know I was the one yet, but to know that at the end of the day he still wants to keep trying. And he said he wanted to keep trying. I just need some advice or reassurance... is this normal? Or should I be worried that he’s just with me right now because he doesn’t want to be lonely or he’s waiting for the next best thing.

I’ve Been in some really shitty relationships before but he has been one of the best guys for me. We’ve broken up once before because he said he was having doubts but me walking away made it real for him and he said he never wanted that in the first place he was just confused (I’m also his first real relationship). He’s always been honest and I’ve never had issues with him and other girls or him being disrespectful.

Any advice helps... thank you
