Partner, disappointing response

[fucketydoodah]

We are in our 50’s , been together about 5 yrs. we both have our own homes, however he stays here usually 6 nights a week. Yesterday I said “ do you think we will be together forever?”
He paused and replied “I can’t see any reason why not.”
AiBU to be hurt by this lacklustre response?

I think the answer possibly was in keeping with the question

sounds like a very normal answer.

That's a very teenager like question imo, his response was polite and appropriate.

Well nobody can accurately predict the future so his response seems perfectly reasonable

Oh my! You are in your 50s and you asked that question? That seems very childlike.

I think his answer was very restrained and appropriate

He’s a man ( presumably); that’s quite an enthusiastic response for a man.

I don't see what's wrong with it! He can't see any issues that would stop that from happening.
If he'd said, 'Blimey, I don't know about that' then you'd be entitled to be miffed. Chill out!

I think you were asking for it with such a childlike and pressuring question tbh.

What did you expect him to say?

I would feel really claustrophobic and pressured if someone asked me this.

You are being ridiculous

It is a bit of a nauseating question in fairness op and I speak as someone who loves a bit of soppy talk.

Why don't you stay at his place? Sounds a bit like he's having his cake and eating it.

My response would have been along the lines of depends if Tom Hardy comes knocking round.

Can't see the issue with his response. What did you want him to say?

I think your question was a bit silly really abd his response was totally reasonable. A good response.

Why is he staying at yours and how much is it costing you?

I think that's a nice response and I personally would find it very reassuring.
What did you want him to say??

That is the kind of thing I would say. Some people don't do effusiveness. If he had said, "god, no!", now that would be hurtful.

this

I think he responded fairly to your question.

It’s a pretty standard man response
