Hey everyone, going to jump on here and answer an email.

Hi, Suzanne.

My name is Kate.

I've come across your YouTube channel.

My accident and your content has helped me understand my boyfriend and our relationship better.

I've shared your content with him as well and he's very open about it.

We've been together for eight years. We met when I was

still in university and he is 12 years older than I am. From the very start of our relationship,

he mentioned that he is in a relationship with marriage as the goal, so I know he's dating with

purpose and this still holds true in the present. We both wanted to have children in the future

and both of us have secured work. He would ask me about how I wanted to have children in the future and both of us have secured work.

He would ask me about how I wanted to get married before and things like that, but every year

I waited and I just keep wondering now, what's the holdup?

We've had arguments about this recently because he could sense the urgency in me and he told me

that is not really a question of whether we will get married but more of the timing.

We don't live together, we don't own property, and we don't share our finances.

He said he wants to buy our own property but just recently mentioned about living abroad.

Every time I hint or ask about his plan, it seems like he doesn't want to talk about it.

It feels like I'm putting pressure on him.

Now I'm having doubts whether or not he really wanted to get married ever, or he simply wants things to be perfect first, like financially, before getting married.

I've mentioned to him that I'm happy with just a simple life and we could start small as a family.
