Published on February 11, 2013 by summergirl789

We have been together for 6 years. We had a long distance relationship in the beginning and for the past 3 1/2 years we have lived together. I love him with all my heart and want to be a wife and not a girlfriend anymore. I don't bring it up at all anymore.. He has said he plans to, but at times he says he wants me to make the income I did before (6 figures).. I work fulltime, I make him lunch everyday and keep our house nice.. I am working on getting a better income. But I am feeling sad that it hasn't happened yet. We have had our ups and downs and in the past he made a couple mistakes that we worked through and he says he loves me all the time. Then why won't he propose? Why can't he commit? He says he will ask when he is ready.. I am now 41 and would like to know where I am going in life. I am a family person, I love the family atmosphere. But he doens't like me asking so I don't.. but when do you say... ok?? Now? (asking him.. isn't an option to me).. Help!! I love him and don't want to lose him, but why won't he step up? I am told all the time that I am attractive and I do get hit on.. but I don't want anyone else and have always been faithful. Help... Any advice?
