Quote From: swthrt123

I am 22 years old and my boyfriend is 25. We've been together for 4 years and lived together for two. I've known for a while now that he's the one I want to marry. It constantly amazes me how good we are together despite how different we are. I love him so much and am so grateful to have him in my life. It just seems I'm always one step ahead in our relationship. When I wanted to be exclusive, he wasn't sure. Then when I wanted him to stop commuting and just live with me, he didn't want to. Now, I want to get married and he's not sure if ever will want to. He says he doesn't know why but the idea of marriage doesn't excite him. I really don't know want to do. Do I wait around until he figures it out...and if he does figure it out one day what if he never wants to get married, what do I do? Marriage is important to me in my life, it is in my goals to have a family. I just don't know how much more patient I can be without completely losing my mind.
