My boyfriend and I will be approaching our 5 year anniversary in January. Lately, I've been debating on whether to leave him or not. While we've had our ups and downs, we've been going strong and we've now lived together for a year and a half. I only moved in with him because I thought it would be a year and then he would ask me to marry him finally. Well, it hasn't happened nor does it look like it is going to happen. I've been contemplating a move to another state for a career change. He wants to come with me and I just can't seem to want to move again and still have no commitment, especially when we won't know anybody! I really love this man but I do feel like I should have a commitment if we are going to continue our lives together. I'm 28 and he's 30. I'm so ready to start a family and start the rest of our lives but he seems grounded where he's at, being less than motivated. For my birthday this year, he knew I wanted a ring and instead what did I get? Diamond earrings. I have told him that once our 5 year anniversary comes and we aren't engaged, I am simply pursuing my life and career change without him. I have a feeling he is just too comfortable with me. He does tell me he wants to get married and always says someday but someday does not seem to be even within a year. So, should I pursue my dreams without him? Or should I keep waiting for someday to come? I would really love to marry him but sadly, it seems he doesn't want to marry me.
