Dear Ms Lipstiq,
I’ve been together with my boyfriend for just over 5 years now, and everything seems to be going great. There is just one problem… I don’t think he wants to marry me. We are stable financially and everything is in order for us, but when ever i bring up the topic of marriage he shoves it off or tells me that it’s not a good time to talk about the topic. I’m someone who really wants to get married and start a family – especially with the fact that i’m turning 30 very soon. I don’t want to waste my time, but i do love him and want to be with him. Ofcourse i don’t want to force him to marry me, but is there a way for me to show him i’m ready and it’s what i what? Please help!
Amanda
Dear Amanda
What you’re going through is tough – especially when you’ve been with someone for that long. Marriage is a big step, and sometimes the men don’t realize how important it is for us women. Wanting to start a family early is important for us and to them, age doesn’t matter, but to us it does. There are two ways to go with this situation. One is pretty daring and the other one is pretty simple. First, try talking to him seriously. Sit him down with dinner and explain to him how you feel – that he’s kind of leaving you hangining here, especially after five years togehter. Hopefully he understands where you’re coming from and the best comes forward from there. You’re next option is to be the one to propose. Sure, it’s not the stereotypical way of doing things, but if you know he loves you and you know you’re meant to be, then nothing should stop you. But ofcourse, start with the first option and see where that goes.
