Proposal resentment

Together 3 years, known eachother well for almost 7.

1 child from a previous relationship, 1 child together.

Neither of us have been married before.

F(29) M(41).

Is it time? Am I kidding myself? Is he dangling a carrot that isn't ever going to fall?

We have spoken about my feelings surrounding marriage multiple times over the last year.

We've had many. He says he will marry me, but doesn't want to get married. It's very confusing. If we argue he sometimes will say "I'm never going to marry you".

He’s not going to propose.
He doesn’t want to get married.

Because I'd like to get married.

You have a voice use it, why are you sat around waiting like a puppy?

Yes this is blunt

I wasted years on one of these. He did shove a box in my face one christmas and said "seeing as it's Christmas do you want to set a date?"

When I asked why now after years if saying "don't think I'll ever marry you" etc. His answer wasnt because he loved me, or because he wanted me to have his & children's last name..... "it'd be nice for my mum before she dies"

Oh and we've been split 8 years and his mother is still around.

Get out of there o.p
