My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 7 years. He has been with me through all of my "tough" times when I was depressed. I was with him through his "tough" times when his father passed away last year and he suffered from depression. I would like to take our relationship to the next step but he has never even brought up the topic of getting engaged. I'm 26 and he is 28. I keep telling him that although men can have children up until they're 80+, woman have a "time clock". I would like to have children, but not until I'm married. I have a college degree and so does he. We are both financially stable. Why won't he propose!?
P.S- He likes to visit his mom alot. I've told him if he was serious about our relationship, he would spend more time with me than with his mom. I think he is starting to get the picture.
