Input: I (f23) have been with my boyfriend (m24) for around 2.5 years. Over this course of time he hasn't ever straightforwardly acknowledged me as his girlfriend to his family and some of his friends, meaning he doesn't refer to my as his girlfriend or significant other. If anyone asks he'll deflect or call me a 'good friend'.

I have, however, met his family multiple times, spent holidays with them, etc. So its not like I'm being hidden, he just won't ever call me his girlfriend in plain English. His defense is that "everybody knows so why bother."

I would probably be okay with this to be perfectly honest, except he became very upset with me when he learned that I hadn't told anyone we were dating early on in our relationship. I've brought this up with him multiple times but it doesn't seem to register with him that he's being a hypocrite. 

He's also asked me to marry him multiple times, which I eventually agreed to but he hasn't bought a ring, even though he said he was going to get one around Christmas. I suspect its because he doesn't want people knowing but his excuse is he wouldn't know what to get me even though I sent him multiple rings that I liked on Etsy all less than $300. He makes good money and I've even offered to go half on something so its not a money issue either.

So, AITA?
