Frank B Kermit agony auntYou asked: How do I get him to marry me if he isn't ready???

I think the better question is: Why the hell would you want to marry a man that is not ready to marry You????

Let me put this into another perspective for you:

If a young man asks "How do I get my virgin gf to give me sex if she isn't ready????" How would you respond to this?

Same way I am responding to you. If he is not ready, do not try to force him. And if he is not ready, and you are not willing to wait, find someone else.

I have to say a loving and understanding heart would not want to FORCE another into marriage. Marriage has to be a two person commitment between man and woman.

I say as much as it hurts and is hard to do; you will have to accept his actions as is. Let him go.

Look after yourself.

I think it is a bad idea to get married if he is not ready....just try to relax, take a break from each other with the communication that you want to talk about this in one week, and then sit down calmly with him and try to listen to his concerns without judgement and with empathy....tell him how hurt you are and try to explain why and what you want him to do to regain your trust.

You have a whole lifetime to be together if you work out as a couple, don't rush the wedding, but give yourselves time to rebuild your relationship, and if there are issues that just aren't working in your relationship and can't be resolved, important issues, then maybe marriage is not the right thing for you to do.

If there is family counseling available to you, I recommend you get some before making the leap to marriage.
