Been with dp for 5 years and living together for 2 in his house. Things have been rocky for a while now. Dp is happy in the main to not talk very much, often gives me one word answers when I talk to him and frequently switches off from me. This makes me feel really lonely. I have a health condition and he never asks how I am. And he rarely compliments me. He is however affectionate, loyal, 100 percent trustworthy and we have great sex . I love him but can't cope with feeling lonely. The arguments over recent months have escalated beyond what is healthy. I am like a dog with a bone and he never acknowleges what I am saying instead just telling me to calm down, be quiet etc. We never find a resolution.
I found a house recently and made an offer which was accepted. And he is devastated. He cries when he thinks I don't know, has said he realises he has well and truly messed up and will do anything to rectify it. Wants to get married. We can buy a house of my choosing together etc. And this is breaking my heart to see him like this. I love him so much but dont know if we can live together at least for now. But these 2 weeks we have got on better than we ever have.
I have proposed I carry on with my purchase and if we are still getting on after a year or so we can reconsider our living situation. I could rent my house out or maybe we could sell our respective houses and buy one together. I feel sick at living without him. He is my family. But I am scared that if I cave he will just get complacent and we will be back at square one again with me also feeling bitterly resentful that I lost my near perfect house for nothing. He thinks I am crazy as money will be tight for me I, my health could get worse, I am safer with him etc.
I just feel scared and terrified of making the wrong choice. But I don't have time on my side as I am 40 and if I want to buy it needs to be soon. I am at this huge crossroads and just dont know what to do
