Four Years, a Child, and Still No Ring—Am I the Problem?

You know, sometimes I wonder if love is just a waiting game where I’m the only one playing. My boyfriend and I have been together for four years, living together for almost as long, and we even have a beautiful three-year-old daughter. But every time I bring up marriage, he finds a new excuse—"I want a unique wedding," "I need to save for a ring," or my personal favorite, "Why don’t you propose to me?" (And when I actually offered, he said he’d say no!) Recently, he finally admitted he thinks I’m too childish and that I need to grow up more. Funny, because I feel like he’s not exactly Mr. Mature either. He says I’m too emotional and make a big deal out of small things, but isn’t that what life is? Family, friends, and all the little messes in between? I just want to feel chosen, not like I’m on some endless probation. Is it really too much to ask for commitment when we already share a life and a child? Or am I just being dramatic again? 😔 #relationshipstruggles #commitmentissues #emotionalgrowth #marriagetalk #modernlove #RomanticRelationships
