We have been engaged since 2018. He asked me to marry him on Christmas <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.eve">Eve</a>! We have been together since November of 2014. We live together. He’s always told me how he can’t wait to marry me, and how he can’t imagine me not in his life, but I just feel like I shouldn’t have to beg him to agree to a wedding date. He told me on the phone the other night that we would talk about it when he gets off this job, but that’s not until May. We are financially stable with little debt, but I do not want a big expensive wedding, I never have, and he knows that, so I don’t know why he’s dragging his feet, and it’s hurting me. I’ve expressed in detail how this makes me feel and he just says “we are going to get married, I promise”. But it hasn’t happened. I love this man, and I want to marry him, but I don’t want to have to beg him or force him to marry me. It’s gotten to the point where even if we do get married, I’ll never really know if it was just to please me, or if he truly wanted to do it. His actions do not reflect his words. It just makes me sad. I just feel like since it’s been a topic of discussion for many years, that it would have happened by now, if it was truly what we wanted. And I don’t view marriage as a piece of paper, that’s just the certificate that comes along with it. Marriage is important to me and he led me to believe it was for him as well. ☹️
