Oh I have been where you are, and I can totally understand what you are feeling. I have been with my husband for 9 years and married only 2 out of the 9. at first I didn't want to get married, so we never really spoke about it, but when we were together for about 6 yrs I started talking about marriage and he would tell its just a piece of paper and I don't need that to prove how much I love u...

he gave me the same speech over and over...he loves me doesn't see his life without me, im sure you have heard it all too. I felt like he must not see me in his life for years if he cant commit, and that made me sad and he then decided to open up and tell me that he was scared that marriage would change me and in turn our relationship. I explained that it wouldn't but did not press the issue. He left the whole issue of marriage alone and surprised me with my engagement ring on Christmas of that year and we married Sept of the following year. I don't really have advice because all relationships are different but just wanted you to know what happen with me and my hubby. He was scared...this could be your boyfriends feelings as well, try asking him
