Question about marriage and compromise.?

I think he cares about you and his work equally but there is a priority. Putting you second doesn't mean putting you less. He wants both career and you. And the way to do it is to sort out career now and then settle down with you for good. It's a win-win situation where he's had his satisfaction of career and also satisfaction of being together with you finally. But he needs to sort out his work first, then settle down. Can't force him to settle down prematurely when his heart is not ready. As I guy I see marriage as turning a dove free to fly everywhere (career) into a deep rooted tree (family) of responsibilities. The way I see it is if a guy wants to sustain his family and provide the time and energy required to raise a loving family, then he's pretty much saying goodbye to career advancements. Doesn't mean career or family is better or is worse. Just means if he is not ready to settle down, not ready to devote himself to family more than work, forcing him won't make things any better, in fact possibly worse. So give him and yourself time and space, and I say do not dump him if you think he is worth the wait. Is he worth your wait? only you know. Is this fair? not at all but that's the way it is.
