Okay, maybe I need to vent a little. Me and my boyfriend have been together for 3 1/2 years and we've been living together for over a year. Things haven't always been easy for us as far as schedules (he's a paramedic) work situations, etc. Actually, I feel that nothing has come easy for us, we've had to work really hard at our relationship and some days I don't feel like that's normal, or what I envisioned. Recently, I have felt like he is going to propose and on both occasions, he hasn't....we have a trip to orlando planned in 2 weeks (Disney World) and we are also going to NY in November to spend Thanksgiving with his family...I feel as though I have set some kind of timer and if he doesn't do something by the end of the year, then I need to move on and stop waiting. Is this ridiculous? I guess this isn't exactly my fairytale picture of how things should be or should happen. I realize that life isn't like the movies, but I always felt as though if someone wanted to marry me, they would ask without hesitation and this is what upsets me the most. Let me know what you think Ladies and Gents. We have talked about the future/marriage. He knows how I feel about it. He is constantly saying how excited he is to have children and such so I know we are on the same page. A lot of people we know/and family have recently been getting engaged and he seems a little peeved about it like maybe they are stepping on toes for plans? I don't know. I not only want to be engaged, but i want to be engaged to him! I want to start living life as soon as possible.
