Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I’m upset this year about Valentine’s Day as it looks like my boyfriend of six years is about to fall down on the job again. For the second year in a row, he did not offer me a diamond ring. The first year (2014) I forgave him because he didn’t know he was blowing it, but last year he did it again, knowing full well what he was doing. I’m the kind of guy (yes, we are a gay couple) who wants to settle down with a really good man like him and adopt a child or two. He knows that I long for it.
Other years I’ve done up a great dinner with wine, romantic music and the whole bit, and he’s come home with nothing more than flowers and a lame watch. Last year it was flowers and a new iPad, which I whipped across the room. I ran to the bedroom and locked it. He went home to sleep at his mother’s. We made up two weeks later because we can’t live without each other.
What do I do this year if he doesn’t come through with a proposal? It’s getting to be a horribly embarrassing joke. I cried myself to sleep last night just because I have the jitters. I do love this man and we had a long talk this week where he didn’t commit to anything beyond living here in my condo. This is his last chance. A few months ago I got so angry about it, I got some backup in the form of a casual boyfriend who is much more the marrying kind, but my focus is still on my main boyfriend I love so much. — Three Strikes, St. Boniface
Dear Three Strikes: Why do you have no say in this proposal? On Valentine’s Day, you propose to him, and if he doesn’t accept, give this other fellow waiting in the wings his chance on the stage of your life. Even if you get a ring from this fellow you love, you may stay stuck at that stage for another 20 years. Either he’s just not the marrying kind, you’re not the final one for him or he really doesn’t want to get domestic and have a family with you, or anybody.
