I am a 37F and my partner is a 37m. We've been together for 11 years, with a long-distance period between 2018 and 2022 while he went back to college to change careers.

For the last three years, I’ve been seeking more commitment, so much so that we picked out an engagement ring together 2.5 years ago—yet there’s still no proposal. This waiting has been emotionally exhausting. He says he wants the same future as me, but I feel stuck, constantly hoping for things to move forward.

We argue often over this, and it's putting a real strain on our relationship. I also want kids, but time is not on my side.

Does anyone have advice on how to navigate the situation?

TLDR no commitment after 11 years
