Hi Anita,

Thank you for the quick response.

Yes, we have discussed marriage throughout our relationship and his response was that as much as he would like to get married soon he wants us to do it the right way and he wanted to wait another 2-3 years. Which I can understand and see why being that he was married once before. I believe as he is older, wiser and more knowledgable about the topic of marriage he may have his reasons why he would like to wait before he proposes. His first and only marriage didn’t end quite well being that his ex wife had cheated on him with another and so they divorced. This could be another reason why he is hesitating not that he is comparing me to his ex, but maybe he fears of it reoccurring with me and being that he is older he is now investing in buying a home he may not want to marry me, end with a divorce to me and lose some of those investments? I know there are lots to consider before marrying… that even myself is not yet knowledgeable of.

We just talked about the big move yesterday and he did say that he is going to make me the power of attorney and we will begin a joint bank account. That did put me at ease because it does show he is taking steps for me to have a comfortable life in a new place with him. It shows he wants me present and to move with him. I believe marriage is to come maybe I am just too hung up on having a label and a ring on my finger and this man just wants to ensure I get the best and he can provide the best so he is putting it off only to save money, create a home for us and then when the time is right pop the question!
