If you have to ask him if there's a future, does that mean there isn't one?

Adapted from online discussions.

Hey Carolyn: If I have to ask my significant other if he sees a future together, does that mean there probably isn't one? We've been together two years, we're both late 20s. Things are good, things are fun, I have no reason to believe we won't be together long-term, besides the fact that we've just never talked about it. He deals with depression and I'm often worried about overwhelming him. We have travel plans a year away, but those are travel plans.

Thoughts? Thanks! I know I haven't given much to work with. I consider the relationship very good, besides our lack of talking about meaningful future things.
