Thank you! You are right. I'm quite secure, and never thought something like that would bother me. I guess it's a bigger question that has got me noticing smaller things. We've been together going on 2 years, things are going great, but I'm not getting any younger and I really want to be with someone who loves me enought to commit to me, and wants to make plans for the rest of our lives, retirement, etc. I've learned all I need to know about him. I love him very much. But there must be something he is not satisfied with for him not to ask the question. It may be time for me to move on and and begin looking for that life partner I've been wanting. I have grand children and want a stable relationship that is apparant for them to see, and someome special for me to spend the rest of my years with. Thank you for your thoughts
