Name changed for this, and would love some honest replies eek.
I have had an on and off relationship with my boyfriend for eight years. It at times can be a volatile relationship and prior to now he did not want to commit to me for various reasons.We recently got back together after I ended the relationship for s year. There was no contact during this time. Since we have restarted the relationship he has been saying and doing all the right things to show commitment to me, but because of past issues I am not as forthcoming. Sometimes I think we could be great together at other times I think not.
To complicate things I have a DD (maury voice: he is not the father) and he has two children from his previous relationship. He has never been formerly introduced to my DD and I have been extra careful to see him without her around as I don't want her to be involved and get hurt in a unstable situation. My boyfriend states he wants to marry me in the long term but there's another issue, he is a non practicing muslim and I am a Christian. I am not willing to to marry him partly for this reason and partly because I have no interest in marriage,
If you managed to read all that, thanks.
Any reply's will be helpful
