My boyfriend and I have been together for about 9 months now and a few months into our relationship, he would talk about getting married, buying a ring, living together, etc. The comments were fairly common, but now further into the relationship, he doesn't mention marriage as much. He does talk about "when we live together..." but he hasn't made any reference to what that means exactly. We've had a little bit of a rough patch lately...just dumb little arguments here and there but we've been working through them. I'm wondering if I should be the one to bring up the marriage topic again, or just let him bring it up when he's ready? I don't want to be the pushy and annoying type so I'm thinking it would be good to just let him keep thinking about it and bring it up when he wants. Thoughts?
