Will he ever marry me????
| Thu, 02-26-2004 - 1:31pm |
My *boyfriend*, whom I have been living with for 1.5 years, asked me to marry him a year-and-a-half-ago. I accepted along with the ring he gave me. The problem is, he doesn't really want to tie the knot --legally. We've bought a house together, and a car, and I want to finalize our relationship with marriage -the natural thing to do. He says he wants to marry too but will never finalize plans or set a date with me. I feel that he's just appeasing me but when it comes down to it, that he doesn't really want to marry.
Here's another thing... he refers to and introduces me to people as his 'wife'. His justification is that we are 'married by agreement' and are committed to one another. Well yes, that's true, but we are not *really* married.
I'm in my forties and have never been married and he's in his fifties. He was married twice and divorced nearly three years ago.
Please help --is this guy stringing me along? Am I being taken for a fool? (Why buy the cow when the milk is free?) Should I just relax and see how things play out over time? Or, should I forget about marriage and realize he's not the one?

good luck.
I guess I will never understand why this is a such an issue for so many people.
He asked you to marry him, he is buying
