He says he can’t wait to marry me — so why hasn’t he proposed?
After five years together and two years of repeated discussions about marriage, a 31-year-old woman says her boyfriend still hasn’t proposed despite promising he can’t wait to marry her.
Dear Annie: I am a 31-year-old woman, and I’ve been with my boyfriend for five years. We’ve been talking about marriage for the past two — talking about it and talking about it. Every time it comes up, it’s positive. He tells me he can’t wait to marry me. But Annie, the proposal still has not come. I even asked him directly when he would be ready to take that step. His response? “Soon.” No timeline, no actual commitment. I don’t want to keep waiting around, especially because I want to start having children soon, but I’m not sure what else to do. — Tired of Waiting
