All right, So here is my situation. I've been with
my boyfriend for eight years and I'm super even embarrassed
to admit this, but we've been engaged for five of
those eight years, and anytime I talk about the wedding
or bring it up for whatever we even, his response
is always the same. But it's just not the right time,
and I'm so I'm tired of hearing that excuse. I

(01:02):
