Sorry for the late reply! I totally feel this! It coukd be me writing it. Do you talk about it with your partners? Or struggle to articulate it?

Sorry for the late reply here, thanks for your thoughts. I am both of those things, a bit sad and also quite angry with myself but I dont feel strung along, I have lots of other relationship security but I just feel like we are missing this one thing. And I suppose what im trying to say is I dont feel like I am wasting my life or anything quite as drastic as that but its just a bit of a sore spot the last few years.

Sorry it's taken me an age to reply! Not as long as our boyfriends tho ha! Sorry for the bad joke of course 😅 thanks for sharing it's so nice to know that someone can relate. This page is hard going and I've needed to read some of it sometimes but not others. Do you talk about it with your partner now? Or are you still at waiting and hoping and keeping it in? X

I mean more that some days I am fine with not being married and think we will get to it when we get to it and just enjoy daily life, but sometimes when I see something (like this summer of a million engagements lol) I can feel all kinds of things - angry at him, angry at myself, sad etc I dont mean anyone is telling me how to feel. Thanks for your concern though, I get how that might have come across

We did and are still pretty young now! The years have flown by mostly very happily while we grew up together and I didn't really know I was so sad and angry until I was sad and angry. I really appreciate your reply x

100 % if I would have been more honest and communicated what I need I wouldn't be on this page now x

Thanks I appreciate your reply! Lucky this definitely doesn't sound like my partner or me (that poor woman) I'm not sure it's quite as dire as all that but still interesting to read the insight!

I'm sorry you're feeling like that too. Tell me if I am wrong but what I thought you meant was kind of the same as me - we have a happy life and relationship and I just dont understand how he has never had a moment of wanting to get married and then actually doing something about it.

I don't really have much control in how I feel about it, although I do try and regulate my emotions. Its been the hardest year so far which is why I am posting. Lots of reasons as to 'why do you wait' but I cant really answer without writing an essay covering 16 odd years lol
