They don't even penetrate his ear drums. As for asking him-that would probably be seen as "PRESSURE". He is a traditionalist, and would want to be the one that did the asking. In fact once I did ask him to marry me, and he said 'yeah, one day'... I think the problem is that he's too complacent and too lazy now to fix something that isn't broken... But it's really bugging me! He is not big on 'appreciation' and I think he is basically doesn't feel grown up enough to be married yet. Subtle hints are wasted on my Bf.

Why not try dropping some subtle hints like talking about how lovely it is that your friend has just got engaged or how lovely it would be to have your baby as a little bridesmaid at your wedding .. and if that doesn't work maybe you could just ask him, it is 2008 after all! lol I completley understand why you feel like this but I think a child is a much bigger commitment than marriage… a baby bonds the two of you forever and if you and you boyfriend are talking about having another little one I think that makes you “the one” all the way!
