I have made it clear that, although I have no desire to pressure him, I do want to be married again one day.
I said I’d rather be let go than led on. He said he isn’t sure, and some days he says he may never remarry.
The last time we talked about it, he said it’s a “possibility,” but he didn’t want to be pressured -- it has to be his idea. How long should I wait until I say enough is enough? I’m not getting any younger. -- FIXED ON MARRIAGE DEAR FIXED: When was the last time you had this discussion? You have described a man who is comfortable with things just the way they are. A year and a half is a reasonable amount of time to decide whether a relationship is serious enough to lead to something more.
Give him six more months, during which you do not mention the word “marriage.” By then, you will have invested two years. After that, ask if he has made up his mind about the two of you being married, and if his answer is anything less than yes, move on.
