Someone I once knew spoke these words to me over 20 years ago, I will never forget them, they are so true:
“people do what they want to do, and they don’t do what they don’t want to do”. If your boyfriend hasn’t proposed, it’s because he doesn’t want to marry you.
Did you ever hear that saying “the truth shall set you free”? Speak your truth, tell him that you’re wanting to be in a long term committed relationship, tell him that you want a marriage. This doesn’t make him wrong, it makes you a person who knows what she wants and isn’t willing to settle for anything less. If he’s not where you are, let him go, wish him all the best. Cry your heart out night after night if you need to for a period of time, but HONOR YOURSELF AND YOUR TRUTH! You will come out on the other side of the darkness and guess what? The sunshine will be there waiting along with the right person who wants what you do, at the same time as you. Very often you will find that when you let someone go and be true to yourself, they then have an opportunity to realize what life would be like without you and it doesn’t feel so good. What better motivator for a man to propose to a woman than the actual experience of being without her, and especially knowing that his woman may be in the arms of another man? I’m not suggesting game playing in order to make him jealous, that will backfire on you.
Just embrace your truth, embrace your power, know what you want and settle for nothing less. You will come out smiling in the end. 😉
