My (23F) boyfriend (26M) acts like we are married, but haven't even proposed yet.

Yes, we are both extremely committed and it's not a question whether we'll spend our life together or not. I'm fine with waiting, it's not like getting married would change anything in our lives other than our titles. It's him, who makes sad faces, when reminded that we are not married yet. He calls himself a traditional guy and showing the world that we are unit together is very important for him (his words).

I don't want to rush him into anything, it's the exact opposite: I just want him to know that we don't have to wait, if he doesn't want to. He doesn't have to have a many-figure salary and a bunch of savings for me to say yes. We will get there together anyway.
