Nick does have a point -- and that, Faye, just may be what your partner is thinking. But -- do you talk to your partner about marriage, and how much you want it?
I think it's time for you two to have a serious heart to heart talk. Tell him exactly how you're feeling. If he is so comfortable living with you for thirteen years, why can't he make it offical by delaring his commitment to you in front of family and friends?
Talk to him about what you wrote in this post, and demand an answer.
I don't think that you are wrong to want to get married. But I can see why your boyfriend may be a little hesitant. Both your previous marriages ended in divorce, and maybe he doesn't want the same to happen with you. You have been together 13 years. That shows that he is committed to you. I really don't think that you have anything to worry about.
