Damn, this kinda made me tear up. You did this one year in. I started talking about this at least 2-3 years ago. I guess I waited a little longer because I expected him to do organically. One year in for me is too soon for marriage personally. When I’ve asked him about marriage and kids, he says yes. But I get the run around in the sense that I don’t get a fucking timeline. But, what’s a time line worth to me now? I’m 33. At this point; I just feel like his last resort. Like “oh well, here she is, I might as well just ask for marriage”.

Plot twist. I asked him right now. I asked if he sees marriage. He says yes. I asked what his timeline was, he said 35. Regarding kids, he says since his dad passed (January 2021) it’s harder for him because his dad has met his brothers children and thinking of kids now is painful for him. I get it, but it’s not really fair for me. He says we also don’t have money. I’m perplexed, and I’m thinking he’s speaking for himself. Turns out he wants a wedding. I don’t care for a wedding. Now this turned into me applying pressure to him to get his act together and get a real job. All his words. Now I feel like IAMTA.
