10 years I was with a guy... he gave me the run around ... after 9 years he proposed, 5 months later, we broke up! He used every 'reason' in the book. It was sad really on his part. We both came from broken homes, he has a HUGE fear of committment, and a fear that I'll change after the wedding. I think for you, its been 1 year. Not 3 or 5. I would give it more time and not push the issue. Tell him you want to get married, thats what you want for yourself for your life and then drop it. If it does not happen when you feel like it should then you need to walk. Don't base your life around HIM and HIS timeline. If your timelines don't coinside, hes probably not 'the one'. I was going to walk out on my bf of 9 years cuz he just wouldnt propose, he felt that and proposed like 2 months later but his heart was not into it. He did it cuz he didnt want me to leave. But in the end it was the end. 9 years is definately WAY too long to wait, but 1 year is not. Even 2 or 3 is not IF you feel that hes headed in that direction. I knew my ex was not .... I should have walked WAY sooner!!!
