@Emma, not at all. He has always said he wouldn't until we buy a house, and well, that isn't happening any time soon. He didn't even buy me a birthday present or Christmas present. We are also having issues that may ultimately wind up, leading to us breaking up not getting married.
You need to have a serious conversation with him if you want to get married x
If marriage is a serious want for you then ...you def need to sit down and talk about it. 5.5 years is a long time and if he knows he doesn't want marriage or doesn't want to be married to you specifically then you need to know.
I personally would not buy a house with someone I wasn't already legally married to. 5 years is a long time and in this economy how much longer could it be until you're able to buy.. both are things to consider.
He wouldn't be planning on proposing would he?
