marriage

Tweet

I have been living with my boyfriend for almost 2 years now. We have been together since august of 2006. He is not ready to get married but i am(which he knows)He was married for 22 years and his wife passed away in may of 2004. He does not want me even to mention marriage and claims i am pushy when i would bring it up. Before i lived with him he said that he and his wife dated 3 years before they got married and he thought that it was a good length of time to date before marriage, now that i live with him he has given me the hint that maybe 4 years is good. He also is saying that when i show him i can save money we will talk about it, but doesn't give me an amount or a time frame, this was about 6 months ago. I have stopped talking about getting married completely and am sort of wondering if we should, i think maybe he just doesn't want to and is trying to find reasons not to. I think he is happy with things the way they are. What do you think.
