Yes, it is. By calling him boyfriend rather than fiance you were pretty much saying you didn't want to get married, at least not to him. Or he may have felt that you were ashamed of him in some way.
Traditionally when a young woman becomes engaged she is so happy she wants to shout it from the mountain tops. The fact you insisted on still calling him your boyfriend was pretty much a death knell for the relationship. :frown1:
Well... the reason I didn't refer to him as fiance, is because people immediately went, "Oh, you got engaged!" and then they'd want to hear all about it... you get REAL freakn tired of explaining it day in and day out. So I would just call him my boyfriend (since he still was) and then tell people that we were engaged when I was in the mood to indulge them in our story.
