I'm 28 and have been with my current partner for the last almost 7 years. He's everything I want in a man in 75% of the things - he's a family man, wants a family, he's great with money, career focused, his family are totally amazing, he pushes me (in a weird way) to be a better person and the best I can be.
However he's so unsupportive at times. He's cold and Unaffectionate (not just to me but to his mum) but I know he has it in him to be loving and affectionate but he's impossible. He never has any sympathy for anyone because he had a poor upbringing and thinks everyone should just suck it up and get on with it. He never talks about ANYTHING to anyone so it's impossible to ever have an adult conversation about anything serious.
We have a home together and are considering splitting after trying for a baby for the last year... it's going to be messy and I'm 50/50 split whether it's the right thing to do. I appreciate that no-one is perfect but would I be settling? I've had previous partners and honestly none of them have been amazing as him but the lack love at times is hurting me.
What if I don't find someone else, early 30's who's got all the qualities I want? Who doesn't want kids? Who doesn't already have kids? I'm so worried about being alone forever, that time is ticking and I'm hardly getting any younger! None of this at all is what I had planned...
