Quote From: ncarter68I have been together with my boyfriend for 5 1/2 years and living together for three. I try to bring up marriage and he doesn't want to talk about it. I know he loves me, his family loves me, we get along and I have even asked him to go to counseling. Forget it. He is the kind of man that is stubborn and full of pride. If I walk out that door he is not running after me so I can't play games with him. He was married twice before and they ended badly, his family confirming it was the wife that was the problem( i know it takes two). I was married once before but we parted amicably. His child is grown and out of the house.
I am not ready to leave but wonder what approach other than being patient, honest and up front with him, can I do?
I understand how you feel. I've known my boyfriend before we starting dating, not well just friends at work
We have been together for almost two years now and we live together too. He is the same way. I've been married three times and he has been married 2 times. He thinks women are out to get him because of his past relationships. I talk with my friends and 1 male friend of his and they al say be patient. But its hard. He has told me before we started living together he would never live with another women and here we are living together. Little by little he is letting me into his world/heart. He knows how I feel about him and I think he cares for me the same but he doesn't express it well not the way that I would like him too.
I doubt that I will leave him either cuz I know in time I hope he will come around and one day commit to me.
