I have been with my partner for just over 2 years, he's a great guy, works hard, we laugh alot etc. I just don't see myself marrying him, it's not even something I'm excited about if I think about it and I definitely want to get married some day, I am 27 so I don't want to be worrying about whether I'm wasting time or not.
I just feel like some important things are missing - like the appreciation for the little things that make me, 'me', he doesn't have much interest in those things. He doesn't really care when I talk about my past. I don't think he's too keen on doing any big travel like I want to do. He's pretty angry when he's in a bad mood and I've recently said it's me or alcohol, because he is an awful drunk person (angry, violent (not with me), an idiot with motor vehicles etc. We get on really well, but I want more of the intensity, romance and passion which just isn't there. I feel like I'm missing these things which are so important to me and then I feel like I would be heart broken without him, so I feel stuck. I have talked about this with him, but nothing really changes, I know he tries, but it's just not him.
Any advice would be really appreciated from anyone whose been in a similar situation.
