In the early days, we moved a little fast. We knew each other for about six months, but it was only about four months after actually dating that we started talking marriage. We’d find out my ring size, talk about kids, he’d suggest going to a store to look at some rings, just for fun…(of course, getting married is now no longer financially an option).
I like to see if we’re on the same page, so about a month ago, I asked him if I was still the One since we don’t talk about it anymore (it’s been about two years since that “commitment” phase), and there was a huge miscommunication in which I thought he wasn’t ready because someone else might come along. He says that’s not the case, we just moved kind of fast before and though we’re definitely heading toward a future together, he’s not quite ready to say forever.
It’s been a month since I found out we’ve taken a step back, and I’m beginning to wonder if there even was a miscommunication. Six months into a relationship I can understand, but two and a half years? Especially since he already changed his mind? What’s to stop him from doing it again?
Please help. In all other areas, he’s been a wonderful boyfriend. In the last two years of living together, he’s done everything he can to make me happy and support me when things get rough. I just can’t seem to let this go.
