Grow a pair! If you want to get engaged then ask him! Forget the whole it must be the Blake who asks.

Well, your relationship is more lasting than her marriages. Isn't it better?

Like, bummer your boyfriend won't propose, but if this is your sister's second marriage in five years, I think she may need to reevaluate some of her thinking.

Careful what you wish for.... a lot of people change after marriage.

I think that there is something about people who know somebody and is dating them for over a total of 3-4 years before getting engage and married have a better chance of not getting a divorce than someone who dated for a year before getting engage and married but I could be wrong

I bet she envies you too

I agree with all 402 comments above stating you're doing much better in the relationship situation. And the part about talk to him about how you feel. Now, I do have a question for anyone willing...some are saying people don't need marriage, it's not important, and it's just paper. Okay, I can see that, but what would be the solution if a longterm couple (even with kids) don't "get the paper" because they "don't believe in marriage" want to protect their family in the event of death or something. I think that would be important especially with kids so there is health insurance, benefits upon someone's death, etc. How do you work that part?

So propose!

It sounds like you are better off in the long run

my husband and I were together 3 yrs before he proposed and we married at 4 yrs. Honestly the only reason we married is because I couldn't be on his work health insurance without being a spouse and because my parents are very traditional and I'm the only daughter, so, to respect my dad, I married my husband before moving in with him. Other than that I would have been content without the official papers to prove my husband and I love each other. I also know a couple who have been together for 20+ yrs. got married and then divorced but stayed together. something about the legal paper thing changed their relationship and they were constantly fighting. once they got divorced and rekindled their relationship they have been happily together for years with multiple children. Each situation is different and maybe your fiance is scared it'll change your relationship negatively, or maybe he's a dick, who knows? the only way to find out though is to talk to him, might be a legitimate reason why he hasn't proposed. I just hope you don't feel as if you need a legal paper to legitimize your relationship or you are wanting to be engaged strictly out of jealousy or competition with your sister. Hope everything works out for the best :)
