I have been with my boyfriend for seven years now. He is an excellent man and I feel lucky to be with him.
That being said, it is becoming painful to continuously attend our friends’ weddings (all of whom have been together much, much less time than we have).
I know this is childish but I feel resentment toward him because I want to get married so badly (to him).
Every time we get invited to a wedding I feel sick. It’s always, “When are you two getting married?” and I want to lash out at him. Obviously I’m feeling insecure, as if I’m not good enough. I’ve talked and talked to him, and he claims that putting a title on our relationship isn’t important — at least to him.
It’s so tough, but should I throw away my life’s wish and not get married because he doesn’t feel like it, or should I break up with him, because, let’s face it, if it hasn’t happened by now I assume it never will.
