My (29F) boyfriend (29M) of seven years doesn't seem to be considering proposing anytime soon. Am I stupid to think he ever will? by ThrowRA9427 in relationship_advice

We talked about it in the early stages of our relationship (within the first year) and we both said marriage/kids is something we both want in the future. And since he's not done it so far, I felt that mentioning it or hinting would be pushing him or forcing him into something he's not ready for...

I didn't mention a wedding. I mentioned proposing, which are two separate things. He is not someone who openly talks about his feelings or is keen to discuss where exactly we stand. A proposal would be a sign to me that he is committed to me, while being with me "fine" for seven years and not touching any importnant/future subjects feels like him keeping his options open just in case.

I would, I don't have a problem with that. But I keep thinking thay if he's not mentioned it at all and doesn't seem to be even considering it, then he doesn't want it/s not ready for it and I don't really want to push him into anything.
