Pressure or non committal?
My boyfriend (33) and I (31) have been together for 2.5 years. We have spoken about marriage twice in our relationship in the past two years and said that we wouldn't date for more the three years. 3 weeks ago My boyfriend said that he was unsure of a commitment w me because I pressured him. Because he said he was unsure of a commitment w me, I told him that he had 7 months to propose or else we were done. We didn't speak for two weeks.
Last weekend he came over to my apt and we talked about how much we love each other, how we want to be together and how we both want marriage. I asked for some sort of time frame. He said that I was pressuring him in asking for a time frame. And that he needed to be 1000% sure of commitment because he feared divorce being a product of a divorce mom and dad and that his brother was divorced as well.
I stood my ground and I said "I love you, I want to be with you we are not your parents we are not your brother and I need some sort of time frame" when he left my apt he hugged me so tight, and he said " I love you so much. We will work this out I promise. I just need time give me some time please its me it s my fear I promise we will work out" we went NC for a week. I bumped into him he said it was meant to be for us to bump into each other we got to talking and he told me again that he loved me so much and that we will be together. He said how he missed me, can't be without me doesn't want anyone else and that we're meant to be.
The following day he called me and we spoke for about half hour again he told me he loves me wants to be with me and we will sit down and discuss our relationship and that he was going to keep calling me "baby". I know he loves me but he asked for time apart and now after a week apart he still hasn't come to a decision about where we stand but now wants to talk. I'm oi confused? Please help.
