Getting Married? Need Engagement Advice? Listen up.
Question:
I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years and we have a house together, and I would love him to pop the question. He says he does want to marry me someday but when we talk about him proposing to me, he says its not my turn, and that he will do it when he is ready. Does this mean that he has still not decided if I’m the one he wants to be with for the rest of his life? What does it mean? I’m so confused.
Answer:
Ok..here we go. You and yours have been together for awhile. He obviously wants to be with you or you both wouldn’t have signed the papers to the house. He might want to save for the ring and the other costs involved since he knows how expensive it is to buy a house. Trust me…I’m in the same issue. He wants to make your engagement a memorable night. He probably thinks very highly of you even though he might not say it alot. Give him time and when the time is right(most likely when your not expecting it) he will pop the question. He might want to take you somewhere so that he doesn’t have to ask in front of his or your parents.

I had this same problem with my boyfriend. I waited until someone’s huge engagement ring came up in conversation and then I told him I’d rather get a nice, but less expensive ring and focus on paying down our mortgage. It was the truth but also I think it took the pressure off of him and he proposed two months later.
