Commitment Problems

I've been with my boyfriend for almost 5 years. We just recently moved in together and having a wonderful time. A couple months ago my boyfriend slipped that he was going to propose to me. Well, I lately the issue has been coming up. It doesn't bother me that he isn't now, but it bothers me that he said marriage was a big step because you have to commit yourself to the other person forever. I know he doesn't cheat on me, but it hurts me thinking that he doesn't want marriage because he will be with me forever. How would you deal with it?

Lol! maybe he just got carried away, that happens all the time...maybe he just realised that things were getting a bit rough and just wanted to see if you would atcually be there to help him....maybe he just wants to be reinsured that you are always going to be there to look after him...
Dont worry about it, if he was with you for all that time and has moved in with u! im sure he loves you but just wants to get use to the fact that you are living together now...dont sweat it, i bet itl all go smoothe, just dont lash out or act scitzo when his around to through him off..

What??? Thats terrible!!! I dont see any good reason for not marryng. If your beloved loves you then you must get married to live forever :)

Of course he's commited to you!
It sounds likes he's trying to find out what your reaction would be before he askes you.
Nobody wants to ask that question and get shot down, do they?
So stop worrying and relax in the knowledge you've found someone who loves you enough to want to be with you forever.

Don't worry about it. He moved in with you, he's just nervous about the next big step.

Stop thinking so much. Listen to what the others are saying on this board. Don't sweat it!

And I see no commitment problems. He says he wants to propose, and he moved in with you, and you've been togehter for 5 years!

Show me a commitment problem, I see none.

Atleast he is voicing the fact that he has doubts and would prefer to wait, better than going ahead and never letting you know he may not be ready and then you end up divorced less than a year later. I would not worry too much about it right now, just enjoy your time together.
