Your post at 17:08 makes no sense whatsoever.

If you are thinking about when / how / where to get married, then why didn't you reply with..... "So, when / where shall we get married then?" ? Confused

How is he supposed to know that you remembering a nice holiday is supposed to be a "prompt" for him to start talking about a wedding?

I am amazed you have managed to stay together this long tbh, your communication skills are piss poor (both of you)

Tell him you have been thinking about organising the wedding - start a conversation about venues/dates/numbers. Just do it Confused

I don't get this at all! You live together right? What do you talk about that this has never come up?!

I've been engaged and married twice, both times married within a year of being engaged. The engagement was a gateway to start planning, not some sort of holding stage in our relationship.

What I will say is that in my first marriage we never talked about having kids beyond a vague 'one day'. I wanted them though and when I turned 30 wanted to talk about having them, but I felt awkward and nervous about bringing the subject up because we hadn't really discussed it. I knew right then that the relationship was over. When you can't talk about important things that matter to you with your life partner then it's a pretty big indication that something is wrong.

My guess? You two ain't getting married.

You are frightened of talking and he is oblivious. As pp says you need to start that conversation differently.

In his head he might think you've thought 'how lovely, we've been engaged for a year!' He won't pick up on your incredibly subtle hints. TBH I might not & I'm pretty clued in I think!
