navy relationship/ Wants to wait 4 Marriage..

[missalli87]

So I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years and a few months. We have an amazing relationship and have been through so much. He joined the navy 6 months into our relationship and I was so upset yet i decided to stick by his side. I never thought long distance was good for me yet it's amazing what you do for love. He is 22 and I'm the same age. I would like to get married within the next two years. Either 23 or 24 or 25. I see him once/twice a month for about 5 days in a row. I fly to where he is stationed and we talk all day long. We are just finishing up our first deployment together it has been 7 months since we have seen eachother we are both so excited for December for him to fly me out to WA. Anyways. I have brought up marriage and he knows I want to get married. He tells me it will def happen and that not to worry Im not wasting my time. He says it will happen sooner then I know it, yet I'm tired of waiting. I'm so sick of him saying were young (I KNOW THAT), and he wants to be financially stable. He broke up with me once for 2 months bc i was pushing for a ring before his deployment and we got back together 2 months later and he told me he realized he does want to marry me. It's so hard joking with him or even talking about marriage bc he's so sensitive to the subject. I read guys responses to these blogs and I wish I could feel the marriage is just a piece of paper but I don't. For me I want that commitment bc its the next step and so exciting to be married to the one I love. I don't want to give him a ultimatium but yet I feel if I don't get it within the next year or two I should. Help what do you guys think? Thanks so much
