I disagree with DeAnna. The last several wedding I have been to have been couples who lived together and actually been together for over 5 years. In fact the last one was a 7 year relationship of which 5 years they lived together.

I admit that I am in your exact situation and I often wonder if maybe what DeAnna said is true but when I think about it I am so happy I have lived with my boyfriend. It was actually a hard adjustment and we have really gotten to know each other better. I also think a lot of the divorce rate and think why ruin what works. All in all I still want him to make some super romantic gesture and propose one day and if I must have that and he can’t give it to me I have to make a hard decision. I think you should let your boyfriend know what you want and being willing to walk away if he cannot give that to you.
