I’ve been with my partner for a couple of years and have a good relationship in so many ways. We share the same sense of humour, love each other, rarely argue, good sex life, he’s great with both mine and his kids, does odd jobs around the house and is generous with his money. We don’t live together but see each other very often. He’s also divorced and both of us have kids from previous relationships.
The problem is that he brought up the subject of marriage a few months into the relationship and said he would want to get married again. There have been opportunities to propose but nothing happened. To be honest, I wasn’t too bothered because it may have been too soon.
Since then it has started to feel like he’s backtracking a bit. He was financially stung by his ex-wife and has brought that up before, on the other hand he says he’s worried because I’m so financially independent(you don’t need anyone).!!
He does earn more than double what I earn so this isn’t a case of the fragile male ego. I’m a bit confused and upset about the whole situation. He knows that I would love to get married to him, so don’t get what’s stopping him proposing. Yes I could propose but I want him to do it so that I know that he actually wants to get married.
Does it sound like he wants to get married?
