A female United States age 41-50, *ana25 writes:

I am a 25 year old female. I have been with my boyfriend for 10 years. We have a 8 year old daughter together. When we first meet we began shopping for wedding rings. He told me he wants me to have the best. Now later down the line he has said nothing about a wedding to me. Oh! one thing I do remember him saying is "He will never get married so if that's what I want then I have the wrong one". Then he told me he will just buy me a ring but as far as him saying the nuptials he wont. What should I do?

Quiet.Kisses agony auntSome men don't feel the need for ceremonies, he might not be into spilling his heart to the world. Now most girls might shake there heads at this suggestion but maybe suggest getting married down at city hall, nothing big just making it official. It sounds like he is willing to commit but is a little trigger shy. It doesn't mean he loves you anyless.

Hi

Tricky one...if you are happy with things stay the same...however he has told you his intentions so can not be accused of leading you up the garden path. You need to think what is important to you...how does marriage change things, if at all? It's down to you really....i personally would want to know why?

x_Raquel_x agony auntHi there... My partner said that to me too when we first met... 4 yrs down the line...still no sign of a ring.

Am i upset by this... no...but maybe thas because marriage isnt that important to me... im happy how things are.

but if you really want to get married then I would suggest that you sit down and have a chat to your fella about this.

There is certainly something i do know... Men arent the same as females... they dont think the same way as we do... i expect he has got comfortable with the way you are now and has forgotten all about the marriage thing... and if you havent brought this to his attention then he will remain this way.

on the other hand if you have brought this to his attention and he is ignoring it... tell him straight how you feel... you want to get married...see how it goes from there... you are the only person that can decide your future from that point on.

Hope I have helped.

Love Raquel xXx
