Been with my man going on 5 years next month. We have a kid and a house together. He works outside the home and i’m a SAHM. He pays for mostly all the bills except the light bill, gas, my credit cards. I pay those. I cook 99% of the meals and used to pack him lunch everyday, now i do it sometimes. For our first 4 years, our relationship was very rocky. So many people in our relationship and it wasn’t good. Fast forward to now and we’ve both grown and changed. Marriage has been brought up by me for over a year now. He says yes we’re getting married but doesn’t make any moves. He said he didn’t propose before bc of how our relationship was. Every time marriage gets brought up, he just shys away from it and doesn’t seem very excited. I told him “when you do propose, it’s going to be hard to feel special because i’ve basically asked for this over and over again” I’m tired of feeling alone on this. I get so sad when i see other girls get proposed to and they’ve only known their SO less than I have. If he really wanted to get married, wouldn’t he already propose? He knows how important it is to me. But he’s so ready for another kid.
