I don’t know if he’s ready for commitment but I sure am. I love him and only him and want to spend my life with him. He wants to spend his life with me but I’m a bit unconvinced. He says he truly does want to, and I absolutely believe him but something is making me unconvinced, even a tiny bit.
Hello, Liz. You both have trust issues. If you absolutely believed him, you would not be posting. He is upset that you do not open up to him and responds with the silent treatment. Then he says, "Trust me."

You seem to think getting married will make the trust issues go away. It will not. He will not go to counseling, I expect because he is too insecure. He does not seem to appreciate how harmful his insecurities are. Yet, you say you have to earn his trust back.

If this relationship is going to work, both of you must be willing to acknowledge the concerns of the other, communicate better, and face the challenges with the commitment to resolve them.

Good luck.
