Maybe communicate that with him? And if you're not happy right now, you probably won't be happy a year from now, DTMFA. But you don't say you're unhappy about the lack of romance, just that it hasn't happened. So maybe you and the boyfriend should get married. Maybe he wants to but doesn't know how to ask romantically. Most importantly, talk to him. You don't know what he means until you talk.
