My boyfriend and I had a conversation and told me he will be ready in 2 years before he can get married, that for next year he can come see my parents and maybe next year start thinking about marriage, and he won’t ever want to tie me down if I ever see someone who is ready and I don’t go that I can keep my options open doesn’t mean he doesn’t love me or wants to date someone else but to avoid the talk that he kept me in a relationship for so long

I am in a relationship for one year now. When we were dating, I cleared to my bf that I could only come in this relationship if we get married socially or legally by the next year. We both agreed to get married legally now. Before he was very happy with this marriage, but now as his parents are not ready, he is becoming secretive with this marriage. He is telling me that he won’t tell it to anyone that he is going to get engaged now. He is also telling me that if anyone asks he would deny not for the fact that he wants to hook up. But due to that insecurity if I turn out to be a cheater or if I fly away how will he live in the society? I asked him that this could also happen after we get married socially then are you going to keep the marriage private then also? He said No, I will take that risk then but not now. We are in a long-distance relationship. I don’t know what to do. If he has a girlfriend and he says he is single isn't that cheating too?

Hello I have a boyfriend, he wants to marry but im not ready yet What should i do?

Thank you for your response. But if I break things now with my long term BF, it would be forever. I am 30 and he is 31 and he won't wait for me forever. I don't expect him to. Because the current situation and dual mind I am in, this is from almost 2 years. My long term bf knows I have no clarity and is supportive enough to let me part ways if I don't want to go ahead with the marriage. He wants to marry me and he is hopeful that things will get better if we work for it. I have taken enough time for myself and still not able to make up my mind.

Hello, I am in a relationship with my boyfriend who is 2 yrs younger to me for past 3 years and i am not sure if he is someone whom i want to spend the rest of my life with. But he is ready to get married and his parents know about me and asking me when will i get married. I do not know how to take this forward and how will i know if he is the one

My partner wants an open relationship. I don't know what that means. He says we can get married but we can continue to date other people. Means he can date another girl and I can date someone else. What is the point of getting married then? I found it very confusing. Why would anyone agree to this? I have known him for 5 years now but this clause is making me doubt his intentions. What should I do?
