Is it time for me to move forward?

Here’s the situation. He (M, 33) and I (F, 33) have been friends for 15 years, and we've been a couple for 10 of those years. We’re best friends who share many values and interests. We enjoy having fun together while also appreciating our quiet moments. He knows nearly everything about me, and I know almost everything about him. We truly value and take pride in each other's careers. It may sound exaggerated, but we have a wonderful relationship. Here’s the challenge I’m facing. He has hesitated at every significant juncture in our relationship, and he attributes this to the potential conflict with his parents—and I believe him 99%. To clarify, he was reluctant to publicly acknowledge our relationship after a year of dating; he hesitated about moving in together, despite us alternating nights at each other's places; and now he’s dragging his feet on proposing, even though we both envision a married life together. His parents are racist and have given him considerable grief about dating outside their race, culture, and ethnicity. To complicate matters, he is in business with them and takes care of them financially, which means they communicate daily. While it would devastate their financial situation if he were cut off, they are stubborn enough to consider that. This indecision has led to insecurities on my part. It’s painful to feel as if I need to pressure him into taking the next step, even if it’s merely a title. It challenges my self-worth and frustrates me to see him avoid confrontation with his parents. For context, neither of us is particularly concerned with the legalities of marriage. We're anti-capitalist and burnt out, and the question of whether legal marriage would benefit or harm us financially is not a priority. Our emphasis has always been on celebrating our love with those we care about—most of whom are mutual friends, although I know his parents wouldn’t want to be involved. This celebration wouldn’t change our lives in any significant way other than creating another cherished memory together. I'm not worried that he’s concerned about financial stability; to put it plainly, I earn more than he does and work in a profession that’s always in demand. I’m not concerned about trust issues. I have complete faith in his character, know where he is at all times, and we frequently share our phones to keep each other updated. He shouldn’t fear financial repercussions if his parents were to “disown” him, as I could support him while he gets back on his feet without them. That said, I’m angry and embarrassed that I find myself asking him to label something that already exists. If it’s genuinely just about his parents, then he can simply choose not to tell them. I understand this is heartbreaking for him, but he can’t change them; instead, he seems to be hurting me for their sake. It feels increasingly cruel, especially since I’m upfront about my feelings. At this point, I’m indifferent to the proposal and celebration of our love, as it feels tainted. I just want a sincere apology and reassurance that I won’t have to fear what else he might hesitate to pursue for our relationship in the future.
