I have been with DP for just over a year, we have lived together for 6months and everything is going well. We knew each other for a couple of years as friends before we got together.
We are both in our early 30s.
Am I being unreasonable to hope for a proposal before too long (say within the next 12 months?) . I do want to marry and have a family one day and conscious that I don't have all the time left in the world now I am over 30.
We have both said that we see ourselves together forever and he has said he wants to marry one day and does believe in marriage, however he doesn't seem to like having specific discussions about marrying me which concerns me a bit.
We have brought a house together so he is not completely scared of commitment.
How long would you wait for a proposal before giving up hope?! Also how do you communicate to a man that you do want marriage without forcing him into it / making him feel pressured? Any views most appreciated.
