Thanks for being upfriont

Quote From: dms0959

Girl - you need some professional counseling!!!  My word - haven't you ever heard "why buy the cow when the milk is free?"  Your first major mistake was moving in together.  Sounds to me like you never expected him to marry you.  If what you say is REALLY what you want then I suggest you find yourself a nice little apartment some where and start finding out who YOU really are before you look for someone to share the rest of your life with.  You seem to really not know just what it is you really want.

Thanks for being upfront with me about this, but I think you are being a little harsh. We talked about marriage alot before we moved in together. It wasn't until we moved in together that I realised what his views really were about gender roles in a relationship. What I am finding out since we moved in together is disturbing. I am sure if we got married then moved in together, he would still be the same way. I just would have found out a little later. I understand what you are saying about the "milk for free". I guess I believed everything he said before we moved in together. I trusted him and he didn't give me any clue as to how he really was or that he really didn't want to marry me. To be honest with you, he doesn't want a penny from me - so I am not giving him rent. The only thing he has to gain from this arrangement is a clean house and dinner. He actually spends more on me. I think that I am not meeting his expectation of a perfect wife who waits on her husband, and he isn't meeting my expectation of what a good husband should be like. Anyhow, I am not saying you are wrong. It could have been a huge mistake moving in with him. I guess I just trusted him.
