Have you ever asked your boyfriend if they want to be with you forever and what was the response?

Question

I asked it from my boyfriend but did not get a clear response (yes/no). He started to talk about something else. This means then “no”? We have been together over a year.

There are a few possibilities for your boyfriend's ambiguous response:

1. He may not be ready to commit to "forever" after only a year of dating. For some people, a year is still fairly early in a relationship to have that discussion.

2. He may feel the question is premature and not want to make a promise he's not sure he can keep. Many people prefer to take relationships one step at a time, rather than envisioning "forever" from the beginning.

3. He may be avoiding giving a direct "no" because he doesn't want to hurt your feelings or end the relationship. So he deflected by changing the subject.

4. He may genuinely want to be with you long-term but isn't ready to verbalize that yet. Some people prefer to "show" their commitment through their actions, rather than saying "forever."

5. There could be underlying issues in your relationship that make him hesitant to commit. But without more context, it's hard to say for sure.

In any case, the best course of action would be to have an open, honest conversation with your boyfriend about your future together. Share your desires and needs in a non-accusatory way, and ask him how he envisions your relationship moving forward. His responses and body language will likely provide more clarity than his initial ambiguous answer.

Communication is key here. His lack of clear response does not necessarily mean "no," but an open discussion could help you both gain understanding and decide next steps for your relationship. I hope this perspective provides you with some initial food for thought. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

You're joking, right?

The question itself is legit.

However, it's kinda like asking someone if they want to marry you. It's NOTa simple question nor one you should spring on somebody which, the way you wrote it, is what it sounds like you did.

I did. He said yes. I think it is important to get a solid answer if you guys are in a serious relationship. I am so sad that he did not answer to it directly.
