Aibu my boyfriend’s Facebook still says ‘single’ after 18 months

So, as title says, I have been with my boyfriend for 18 months now. His Facebook is still set as ‘single’.
It really upsets me but I’m not sure how to broach the subject and I’m loathe to cause any issues or arguments

Ok so I asked this before but it seems not to have been answered.
How many of your friends and family has he met? Your telling seems to be that you only see each other on nights together, is that correct?
Your brother knows him but does he go out and know his friends etc?
Would he be able to tell you if he was keeping secrets from you?

I would drop the whole accidentally finding it on your brothers FB, the whole set of circumstances seem far too ridiculous to be true.

Finally and most importantly this:

I’m pretty sure my life would be easier without the stress of this relationship in the way it is at the minute.....

The way your relationship is you don't need any reasons or excuses.
If you aren't happy and you feel the relationship isn't working than just end it.

@Cheeseandwin5

He has met my family just by the fact that I live with them. So he comes to mine occasionally and sees my children and by default sees my mum and step dad. My kids love him and think he’s great, as you would imagine from kids that don’t see their real dad. He also met my nan when she was round once.
My brother only works for him very occasionally and they do not see each other socially so no help there.
He has not met my friends, but then my friends are ones that I socialise with during the days - at weekends and school hols as they have young families too. And obviously with Covid, I haven’t really seen them much at all either even in that capacity.
I am unhappy with the way it is, but every night I go round there, thinking it’s tonight I’ll talk to him and then I just physically can’t! I’m such a wimp! And now it’s getting so close to Xmas and I haven’t even got him a pressie because I’m expecting not to still be with him!

According to my FB profile I’m 112 because date of birth is a security question most banks use.

I thought single meant not married - it always used to.

Why don’t you put how you’re feeling in an email? Send it to him telling him you want to talk about it. Then it’s done - you can’t wimp out and it’ll force your hand!

This limbo isn’t good for you.

@finniesmummy just wondered what happened in the end? Did he change it? X
