Question - (18 October 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 19 October 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

How long should you wait for your boyfriend to propose? I have the most amazing bf I could ever ask for. I would never pressure him or give him an ultimatum, and he has already decided he wants to be with me the rest of his life. However, he's 27 and still in school for another 2 years or so and lives with his parents. I will be in school til I'm 32 perusing a medical degree. How long in this kind of situation normally would someone wait for a proposal? :)

Thank you agony aunts and uncles!

Have you talked specifically about marriage?

Every relationship is different, he may not want to get married, or at least not yet.

Hi I am 40 and have been with my partner for 18 years and still not married. Although I do feel that I have missed out on the "big day" I wouldn't be without him. We have a great relationship and we have discussed marriage or non marriage as is our case, so I understand his feelings on the matter. Discuss it, as if it is a big thing for you, maybe just knowing that it is what you are both intending to do may help with your feelings at the moment.

dirtball agony auntHow long have you been together?

There is no set period of time since each relationship is different. I wouldn't expect much from him until he is done with school and moved out of his parents' house. Most guys want to show they are stable before proposing marriage. It's our way of saying, "See, I can take care of you."
