Marriage impass?

Committal? No way! He'll be committal when he puts a ring on your finger and tells you he wants to spend the rest of his life at your side. Possessions/things rust, rot and fade away. True love does not. You know what you want and you seem to be on the right path. You've just got the wrong man walking it with you right now. If he can't commit in his mid-fifties, he never will, so don't pressure him into committing 'cause he'd only do it to quiet you down.

Same happened to me ! He even went as far as going to give me a promise ring.I said no I dont wear a ring unless Im married so we better move on and find who we are going to marry.He proposed 2 months later.Good luck!

Dont get married. If you think its bad now, wait till you say I Do to a non-existant god.

depends if marriage is that important to you. the way you describe it though says it is.
