Ok. My boyfriend and I have been together for nearly 2 years. He is kind of a closed off guy and doesn't really like to talk about things. On our one-year anniversary I brought up the topic of marriage and he flat out told me that he never wants to get married. His reasoning was that 50% of marriages end in divorce.
I was upset. He tried to soothe me by telling me that he wants to spend the rest of his life with me and that he may change his mind in the future. We are almost at 2 years now and I've spent the past year dreaming and hoping that he'd change his mind, picturing him down on one knee, imagining taking his last name. I've asked him how he would respond if I gave him an ultimatum, but he couldn't answer me.
So its almost 2 years and I've been waiting, hoping, and praying. I know this isn't good for my emotional well-being. Advice?
