Relationships & Dating

My partner was great when we got together 2 years ago. He did all the chasing and told me how he loved me more than he'd felt for anyone before and for the first time he wanted to settle down and have kids. This was after 10 years of travelling for him, being with many women.

Shortly after we got together he asked me to marry him. I agreed.

Then about 5 months later we were at his brothers wedding and he was drunk and told me he'd never love me as much as his ex, who I had jealousy issues with.

We stayed together but this stayed on my mind too. I tried many times to bring it up and clear up the issue but he'd just get angry and never took back what he said or told me otherwise.

Then recently I tried again to bring it up. I had to practically force him to tell me he loved me more and he told me I was being childish for wanting him to say it. I don't get how thats childish if telling me he'd never love me like his ex isn't!? It also makes me really doubt whether he meant it because I made him say it and he was so reluctant. He told me that maybe back then he didn't love me as much as her but we've been together so long now and have a child together so of course things are different. Then that just go me thinking even if thats true, when he asked me to marry him he wasn't being honest about how much he loved me.

Now he's still saying he wants to get married but doesn't want to set a date. I keep giving him chances to get out of it if thats what he wants but he doesn't take them. He acts like he loves me but I can't forget what was said or stop wondering why after about 2 years of being engaged he still doesn't want to set a date.
