lay off his case. you don't want it to end in divorce. if you force, you'll divorce. grow together and talk about it, but let him steer his own ship too. Just remember that you have the rest of your life to be with that person if you get married. Don't rush it! 5 years dating may seem like a long time but compare that to 50 years of marriage.

Hello, If you are ready for marriage and your boyfriend is not then it is up to you to decide how long you want to wait. If your boyfriend has said that he is not ready then trust his words, he is not ready....now and here with you. Timing is really key, sure, he may be ready in a month or a year or a decade but, you are ready now and you can't meet someone else who is likeminded if you are with someone exclusively who is "not" ready now. I think it is time to move on when you realize that you want to find a like minded partner who does want the things you do. There is no need to consider this current boyfriend a bad guy, right? He is honestly telling you he isn't ready. So, it might be most respectful to inform him that you are ready and that you need to give this relationship a certain amount of time, (say a month, two, three) until you decide what "YOU" want to do. This isn't about him, it is about you. If you want to get married then staying with someone who does not may become very unfulfilling and might make you bitter or resentful and treat him unfairly. That can't be good. Best,

What to do when your boyfriend says lets take things one day at a time?

Take things one day at a time usually means "don't put too much pressure" on the person. If a boyfriend says this, it means he feels he is being pressured, he is being asked to make a commitment he is not ready to make. He is asking to take the relationship more slowly, and not hurry into a commitment like marriage.
