I have been with my boyfriend for over 3 years. Everything is good. I have two children from a previous relationship and he is great with them.
I want to settle down, live together have a baby etc. Every which way I put this to him he comes up with excuses. I KNOW he loves me......I'm in no doubt about that but I feel that after 3 years of being a couple it is not unreasonable to want things to move forwards.
I found houses for us to move into as a couple- he didn't like any of them.
I suggested we buy a small property together he said no incase we split up. He is unsure if he wants kids even though I have been clear from the start that I wanted more and he would sit and discuss baby names with me. He is happy for our relationship to continue......him with his own place, staying over at mine a few nights a week. I want more.
I just don't know what to do. I have this horrible sinking feeling that we want very different things moving forwards and perhaps whilst our personalities are comparable, our expectations of life are very different.
I don't want to lose him. He's the best thing that has ever happened to me but I don't want all the compromises to be on my part.
I don't know how to sort it out. I always felt like it was a fairytale relationship and I guess I just want my happy ending.
