writes:I've been with the same guy for 3 years now. We have a daughter together and all of our friends say they are jealous of our relationship because we never fight. We know everything about eachother. The only thing I dont have is an engagment ring or a wedding ring. My best friend who lives right next to us is engaged after 1 year. How do I get him to propose to me?!

wants_marriage is verified as being by the original poster of the questionWe have talked about it and I have hinted. He keeps saying "When I can afford it" Or thats what he told his mom. But like she said we will never "be able to afford it" expecially with a baby. I am sort of religious and I feel I am sinning by living together unmarried.

 Some relationships take a little longer to get to the engagement/marrying stage. I was with my now fiance for 5 years before he proposed to me. Every relationship is different and moves and different speeds. Maybe drop some hints, but definitely don't pressure him in to doing it. He will propose when he is ready.

 You're still very young, he might just not want to yet. Have you talked to him about it at all? Personally I think marriage is a HUGE decision and that if people can't even talk about it with each other, they're probably not ready to get married. You can still have the down on one knee proposal type thing, you just need to make sure he knows it's something you want. It may not even have crossed his mind to ask.

 Maybe he doesnt want to propose..
My boyfriend and I have been in a relationship for the same length of time and have agreed that its not for us.
Maybe hes thinking the same thing but hasnt mentioned it.
Do you feel like you have to get married for your relationship to work and carry on?
If this is something that it is important to you then you should have a conversation about it with your boyfriend.

Bring up friends that are married etc. in conversation.
Just flood him with hints.
Or you could just talk to him about it ask him if that's something he'd like. The proposal can still be a surprize if that's what you want.

 Have you talked about getting married together? What was his reaction?
You cant force him to ask, why dont you ask him?
