I started dating this guy last year. He is my classmate. Don’t judge me. I h8ted it with passion till it happened to me. When he asked me out last year, I refused initially because he was my classmate, but as time went by, I got to know him and saw that he ticked all my boxes, so I gave it a try. It’s almost a year now and we’re still together. I’ve met all his friends and family members, including his parents, within this time. But each time we talk or joke about things like marriage, he says he’s taking care of me for my future husband, and I say the same too, out of context. But initially, when we started dating, about 2 months into the relationship, he asked me if I’d marry him if our relationship got to that point, and I told him time will tell, that we shouldn’t rush things as it was too soon. Now, when I try to bring up the issue of marriage, he says we shouldn’t rush and let the future take care of itself. I’m 23 and will be a doctor in 2 years. I don’t want a “go with the flow” kind of relationship. I feel 1 year is enough time to know if we’re compatible for life, but I don’t want to seem desperate.
This guy is doing very well for himself with steady income and a nice car, so I’m sure finances aren’t the issue. I also have a skill that earns me well even as a student. He also spends generously on me. I lack nothing in school and he’s always there to help, but his actions and words don’t match. He introduces me as his babe to his close friends and parents, then makes jokes about keeping me for my husband. I’d really love to settle down immediately after school. Mind you, this guy will be 30 by the time we graduate. Am I being forward? Do you think he wants a future with me?
