I haven't been around in a while...I don't know if anyone remembers this but I had PTSD. I was a crime victim and had been in a very bad relationship.

My current boyfriend has been talking about marriage a lot lately...We met 7 years ago, broke up for the year and a half I was in grad school, and started to get close again over the summer...So it has been fairly committed - he is one of my closest friends.

He has been talking in detail about our future...and recently he has started talking about our wedding. We aren't engaged. He took me into a store a few days ago because he said he was looking for a watch, and then asked to see the engagement rings...

I was shocked but very happy...We came home and he started talking about the kind of gown he would like, which of our friends we would want in the ceremony, etc.

The next day he called me and said that he does not want to get married for at least 3 or 4 years. He thought he might propose in a year or longer. He said that he does not want to rush into anything...

I don't understand why he took me into that store or why he was discussing everything is he has no intention of doing anything about it...I am very upset.
