I have been with my boyfriend for 5 years and he still hasn't asked me to marry him. We lived to gether for 2.5 years but have recently moved apart for him to be in medschool and me to be in gradschool. We have our ups and downs, but for the most part our relationship is really good. I have made it clear that I want marriage in my future. How long should I continue waiting for him to pop the question? If he hasn't done so by now, will he ever?

If he hasn't proposed by now, ask yourself why? He may love you, but not enough to commit to you. Cut your losses and move on. There is someone out there that would love to commit to you.

With both of you still being in school and now apart, the time may not feel right for him to propose. It would be best if the two of you talked about it the next time you are together. He may be waiting until you are both done with school.

Do you really NEED to get married. I was with someone for 11years, i'm so glad we didn't get married, it would of been a whole load of hassle to get away from the guy. But everyone is different. Have you spoken to him about it. Guys don't pick up on how we feel. Have a discussion or three, let him know how you exactly feel about marriage and him. If he still drags his heels then ask yourself if this is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. If not, then you move on. Its all down to you. Best wishes.
