I dont think he is afraid of long term commitment because you guys have been together for a while. However, current husband and I were together for 5 years before we married. I think that open communication is the best thing. Dont put pressure on him but let him know how you are feeling. Let him know that you love him and want to spend the rest of your life with him. See how that goes. I wish you luck. But remember, im my experience, men dont think like women. We pretty much have to draw them a picture. LOL

No offense Ry!!!! You know I love you.
