I don’t advise you to bring up marriage. You’ve dated the guy for three years. You’re in your late twenties. He’s been pretty clear with you that marriage isn’t on his agenda. If he wanted to propose to you, he would have.
I know you already know this, and you need me to tell you. So, there it is.
And, you know the mistake you made — investing your time and energy in someone who doesn’t want the same thing you do, and made it clear. Now, you’re trying to correct that mistake, three years later. Unfortunately, it’s too late.
If you want to get married, you need to find a man who wants what you want. If you stay with him, you’re going to continue to feel alone because you want something that’s important to you — marriage and a family — and he doesn’t. It’s hard to break up with someone who has a lot of great qualities, but ultimately, if you both want different things, and those things are deal breakers, the relationship won’t work. That’s why you have to move on. 😳
