Should I ride it out? I love him so deeply, but what if I am not his one? What if he's never ready?

He knew my feelings about this but said he would never get engaged to someone he hadn't lived with first.

Marriage will not be easy, and I feel like he wants things to be perfect before he pops the question.

I would really like to get engaged, but I believe he thinks its too soon.

Even if we are equals in this relationship, would I be stepping on his toes?
