Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Let me begin by saying this should be easy for me to answer myself but still I am torn.
My boyfriend and I have been living together for a little over three years, I moved into his house after we were pregnant. All my life it seems like I have done things backward, we planned to have a child and I became pregnant and then before my child's birth I moved into his house and gave up mine. Before I was pregnant he was my best friend and we were very much in love, but at that time I did not notice how seperate our lives were, he had his friends and family and I had mine and we seemed to make time to spend together. After I moved in it seemed everything changed, I gave up my life to try to adjust to his but he never seemed to make time for me anymore, his famliy and friends always came first and it seemed I was always alone or had the option of "tagging along" with him.
It seems we have not been close for years now, at time we go months without being intimate, and I can not remember the last time we passionately kissed more than two years I am sure. Several times I have talked to him about this and it always starts a fight or he is too tired doesn't want to talk or has plans to meet his friends out. Recently he told me that his heart just isn't in this relationship anymore. I still love him but I think I love a person that doesn't exist anymore, someone that was caring, sensitive, compassionate and affectionate. Of course there are so many other details I could go into but then this would be an extremely long post. It seems like the answer is simple, you should leave.
I haven't mentioned he is a great father and we both love or child very much, neither one of us can stand the thought of spending one night away. We spend a lot of family time together, and I know our child would be heart broken if we were not all together. Just the thought of the three of us not being together crushes me, not really for us but for our child. On the other hand what does this show our child when mommy and daddy don't show affection? What do I do? Please help I don't know what to do anymore.
Thanks for the help, I need it.
You are dead on, we have a huge communication issue! I don't know how to talk to him anymore, especially about relationship issues or emotions. In the past I have dated more "artistic" types of guys and to me they seem easier to talk to about feelings, so when I started dating a more man's man I thought this was normal and they don't talk about relationship issues.
As far as the marriage; I am ready and did want to before the whole "not really into it" thing, but I didn't want to pressure him I wanted him to do it when he wanted to because he loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. I have hinted that I am in my early thirties and always thought I would be married by now and I asked him if he ever wanted to get married. Yes he rerouted the conversation onto a different topic. He says he is physically attracted to me but I guess he doesn't feel much more than that.
So I guess I ask you now, do guys fall back in love or do I try and move on?
Again thank you....
