His Girlfriend Doesn’t Want His Name On Their New Apartment Lease Because He Still Hasn’t Proposed Yet
This 27-year-old man and his girlfriend, who is 23, have been dating for just over two and a half years now, and he loves her more than anything.
He moved into her apartment about a year and a half ago, too, and then, after a few months, his name was also added to the lease.
“It’s been going wonderful. I love our routines and adventures, and she has made the place feel so warm,” he said.
So, over the past year, they’ve begun discussing their future plans – including the idea of a wedding. A few months ago, he also asked his girlfriend what ring shapes she liked just to get an idea for when he actually started ring shopping.
“I already know which gemstone she wants and everything. We’ve talked about how our wedding will be planned, our children’s names, everything. I’m excited for that,” he explained.
However, he didn’t realize that asking his girlfriend about her engagement ring preferences would make her think that he was planning to propose very soon. Rather, while he does want to propose one day, he needs some time and thinks it requires “planning and thought.”
He clarified how, right now, he really doesn’t have a specific timeline in mind.
“But I’ve kinda been going along with whatever she wants because I love her. And I’ve always wanted to be married,” he detailed.
Still, on their second anniversary, it became clear that he and his girlfriend were on two different pages.

To celebrate the two-year mark in their relationship, they had a picnic and a romantic dinner. Apparently, his girlfriend also expected him to pop the question during the celebration.
He didn’t propose, though, and explained how he was saving up for a ring and wanted his proposal to be really special for her. Well, his girlfriend claimed that she didn’t care if he bought her a ring worth just $50.
“It’s just the commitment when I thought you wanted that,” she told him.
That was about six months ago, and just last week, he realized that his girlfriend’s still upset he hasn’t asked her to marry him yet.
That’s because, when it came time to renew their lease, his girlfriend didn’t want his name on the apartment anymore.
She claimed that, while she loved him, she thought they needed time to live apart since they’d been dating for over two and a half years, and she believed he should “know by then” whether or not he wanted to marry her.
Afterward, his girlfriend also accused him of stringing her along throughout their relationship.
“I think it’s crazy how this all came out of nowhere. It’s not fair to me that I have to move back to my parents now. Two and a half years is not long at all,” he vented.
Nonetheless, he can’t help but wonder if not proposing yet is justified or if he really is a jerk.
Do you think he has been stringing his girlfriend along by talking about their future so much or not? What advice would you give him?
