My boyfriend and I have been together for roughly 2.5 years, but only "Serious" for about a year.Recently, he has made me part of his family, his brother & sister are good friends of mine and his dad calls me his daughter some days. His friends are my friends too...but we are both at extremely stressful points in our lives and he is out of town alot working for his dad's company. Just recently, we have gotten extremely close, but along with that, everyone has been asking us if we are getting married...including family. He told me he is considering marriage to me, and I just froze. The day I met him I knew I wanted to spend my life with him, but all of a sudden, I am terrified? What's wrong with me?

My boyfriend and I recently got back together (We stayed dating for a year after we broke up) and he told me recently that he did not want to try to make us work. We don't fight, and we get along great. In fact, we took a trip out of town and started getting really close to each other...and then, all of a sudden, he started pushing away...is this a subconscious impulse to avoid getting hurt? Or something else? In our first relationship he was wonderful and I didn't appreciate him at all and I am worried he is afraid I might hurt him again if he gets to close. He insists that isn't the problem. We have been together for the better part of three years, but only serious for about one year of that. He has made it clear that he cares about me a lot but he is only 22 and I know that is a hard stage for young men to go through...what should I do to help make everything alright? I'm all out of ideas.
