I've been living with my boyfriend for a year. We knew each other for 7 months before we moved in together. He listed the reason for our move on the application as preparing for marriage.

About 5-6 months after moving in, I had a rough day. I was really upset, dealing with some issues that pre-dated him. I spent most of the day at home in tears. He took me out to a shopping center and told me he had to go to the bathroom. Actually what he did was sneak out to the jeweler's next door where he picked up a ring.

He met up with me again at the car, because I went out there since it had taken him so long in the "bathroom", I thought that something was wrong, that he was pissed at me and wanted to leave without me.

He tried to give me the ring in the car, and I told him that now was definitely NOT a good time for that. I was really hoping that it wasn't what I thought in that box.

He took me home, and he wouldn't let it die. I kept telling him no, now is not a good time, no I don't want to see what is in there, no, no, no. He opened the box and slipped the ring on my hand, which I slipped right back off and gave to him.

This whole drama definitely did not improve my mood. I had been in tears the whole day. They only stopped because I had to take him to the ER after he punched a wall and fractured his pinky.

Now it is 6 months after that, and he hasn't tried again. I've tried telling him that I don't think that he is going to marry me, but he doesn't seem to get it. He keeps saying that he does, but he's not doing anything about it.

Should I leave him?
