Commitment created destruction
Hello All, I was in a relationship with a man for almost 3 yrs. We got together after his nasty divorce from a crazy woman and he has custody of his amazing kids whom I love very much. Told him I did not think it was a good idea coming off a divorce to get into a serious relationship but he continued to persue me hard and we fell in love. Less than a year later he said that I was his soul mate and so lucky to have me and could not wait for the day for me to be his wife. Now two years into the relationship he barely speaks of marriage and I questioned him about it and he says he is not ready and does not want to get married right now and is not sure why or when he will want to. Says can we just live together and see how things work. I was crushed. I have a 10 yr old daughter and I would never move in with a boyfriend, uproot my daughters life on a half ass commitment situation. I am also divorced but I still believe marriage can work and be alot of work but a beautiful thing in life. I am going to be 42 and he 41. I just spent almost 3 yrs of my life loving this man now I dont feel like I even know who he is. This new tune is throwing me off bad so I left him because I feel deceived. Please any advice you can give would help.
