Boyfriend doesn’t want to marry me

I think you should just stop talking about it. Don't talk about marriage or proposals at all. Nothing. Just don't bring it up at all, and even if he says something about marriage don't talk too much about it. I think he's feeling very overwhelmed and pressured to propose which isn't great at all. I would be good to just shut up about it. I'd say, give him a year, but be quiet about proposing or marriage, even if someone in your family brings it up, just try to change the subject fast. If he doesn't propose within that year, then the problem might be that he does not actually want to marry you. Right now, it seems like he does want to get married but you and your family constantly talking about it probably makes him feel very overwhelmed and stressed.

With men, I don't think it's right for women to just keep bringing up marriage. I think its the man that should be talking about marriage first and wanting to propose. It's good that you let him know that you're ready but now shut up and let him be ready for it you know? You're not gonna have a good marriage if he feels like he married you because everyone was pressuring him to propose.
