soconfused3,
I don't have any advice for you, but I do have a few questions.
Yes, all of the excuses he gives you for not getting married quite yet are all valid excuses. That is, if he's looking for excuses. But, just how important are the things he uses to postpone and delay your marriage? Are they more important to him than YOU? Do YOU feel important to him? Do YOU value yourself? Do YOU think your wants and desires are important? If so, HOW important?
I dunno... something seems to be a bit amiss in your relationship. Well, it feels that way to me anyway.
There is a poem written by Sir Philip Sidney that my wife and I always remember. It's especially important to remember when we hit the occasional bump in our marriage. It never fails to remind us of what's truly, truly important in our lives...
My true-love hath my heart, and I have his,
By just exchange one to the other given:
I hold his dear, and mine he cannot miss,
There never was a better bargain driven:
My true-love hath my heart, and I have his.
His heart in me keeps him and me in one,
My heart in him his thoughts and senses guides:
He loves my heart, for once it was his own,
I cherish his because in me it bides:
My true-love hath my heart, and I have his.
Does your true-love have YOUR heart?
What is important to you? Is it important enough for you to take action to get it?
