<human>: Just got back from a trip visiting his family and going to his 10 year high school reunion. 80% of the people at the reunion were married. People kept referring to me as his wife instead of his girlfriend on accident, and it was so embarrassing to correct them. His brother in law jokingly told him to hurry up and get married so he could go to one last bachelor party. He keeps saying to me, "happy wife, happy life!" and I'm like, "I'm not your wife, dude..." His mom has also offered his grandmothers ring to use for a proposal (which he told me accidentally while he was drunk).

I'm just ready for it. I love him. We're a great couple. When I imagine my future, we're cranky old people together. We've been dating over 2 years, living together for one, and we're established adults in our late twenties.

We had a heart-to-heart talk about it last night, and a continuation this morning. I told him that I want to marry him but I'm not willing to wait years and years for him. He told me a few different things... he needed to save up for a ring (he already can use his grandma's ring, plus he makes $80k a year, so that's bullshit). Then he said he did want to marry me, but he thought we needed to improve our relationship first. Then he said he didn't know what he wanted... and then in the morning he said he did want to marry me, but he wasn't ready yet.

So now I'm confused. I don't know whether to feel optimistic or pessimistic. And I'm scared to plan my future around a guy who may or may not be around for the long haul.

If you've had similar experiences, from either side, please share. I'm so conflicted. I love him, but I don't want to be stupid and waste my time with someone who wants different things.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Want to marry my boyfriend, but he's not so sure. Should I just be patient or is this a sign of doom?
