    I was looking at the vacation days I have to use before the end of the year, or they will disappear. I told BF that, while choosing the dates, I wondered, "hm, are we going to be getting married this year?"

    His response was that he can hardly deal with things that are right in front of him right now. I know his parents are aging and need extra help and a bathroom remodel (we don't live in the same town so we wouldn't be doing that ourselves). It has been a stressful year so far. But, damn, he can't think about it at all?

    I don't want to be impatient. I need to be grateful that we are going away for 3 days in a couple weeks. It will be the first time we've gone somewhere that wasn't to visit relatives. No, fellow bees, he does not have a proposal up his sleeve. I suggested and planned our getaway.

    We will have been together for 3 years in September. We are both 50. So it's not like we are waiting to finish college or something. Sigh.

    Sometimes things can happen when you least expect it, but if he is worried about his parents, he may just want to make sure they are ok before proposing, after all he would probably want them around to celebrate in your engagement!

    Men always make reasons 'not to' do things, I think one thought provoking moment just stuns them and makes them realise that there will never be a right time where everything is perfect, and there will always be a lame excuse not to!

    All the best to you, I guess all you can do is take his mind off things when you go on vacation, and support him when he needs you because of his parents.

    Aw, I'm sorry. That must not have felt very good. I hope that your BF can relax a little. That has got to be difficult for both of you with his parents needing help.

    That is a bummer!  I wish the best for you.
