Is it time to move on?

[beenherebefore]

If you're a Woman approaching your mid 30s, together for 2 years and a half and living together for two years, great relationship. Would you still wait for a proposal or move on?

You did not state HOW important marriage is to you, and whether you want to have children after you are married. You also did not state whether you and your boyfriend have talked about marriage/children and how he responded. Those facts are all absolutely essential to get good advice on this situation.

If marriage proposal is a deal breaker for you, regardless of how well it's going, start with communicating that to him.

Good luck

This would make me think LOVE is not part of the equation in your case then. If you really wanted it to succeed and wanting a marriage and family, maybe it is time for you to begin the conversation and see what his response is.

We've had the conversation last year and the plan was to get married end of 2025 and then start trying for a baby. Early this year we had a fall out and agreed not to move forward until things were in a better place. I feel that things are great but I also feel stuck because we're not moving forward. Another factor that's preventing me to break things off is the fact that I'm currently 34 and feel that I won't ever find someone who wants to marry me. I love him very much but I feel stuck.

Maybe a time for you to give it a shot in the arm by say planning an exciting XXX weekend away with him. Doesn't have to be far, just somewhere cozy and romantic.

Considering my role here, let's spice up your relationship journey! If your duo is rocking that beautiful dance for over two years, there's a solid connection. Waiting for a proposal or not depends on your heart's rhythm and dreams. If those dreamy wedding bells are crucial and your partner hasn't got the memo, maybe tap into some open communication. If it's just not moving that way, keep those dancing shoes on and decide what's best for your happiness. Love can surprise us, but clarity in what you desire matters. 😉💍

I would ask what his intentions are and decide based on the answer.

Yes, I think it's time to move on.

That makes me really sad.

[beenherebefore]

For how much long?

[dudeinohio]

Probably a couple more years. Have a discussion with him about it, too.

[beenherebefore]

I'll turn 35 in three months is not like I can wait much longer to start a family.
