So this weekend some close friends got engaged - am really pleased for them but they are the 3rd set of friends who have been together less than DP and myself and am a bit surprised I feel a bit jealous !
DP and I are both divorced with 2 DCs each and I thought I wasn't interested in the whole engaged marriage thing again! And in fact I'm not it just seems our friends ( all 2nd marriages and together less time than we have been ) seem to be moving forwards .
I think that may be part of the issue - I feel we are in limbo - my divorce is all settled and sorted ( way back ) while his is not ( 5 years on) I know his is complicated but I think he is not proactive enough in both his divorce ( he is divorced but still paying for his house and way over for kids as is right ) but to the detriment of his own life - he still lives with his parents and has done since he separated ! I just feel he doesn't see any need for change. I can't see things changing anytime soon- he keeps saying next year things will be different but they don't seem to be !
I love him to bits btw !! He is a great boyfriend but is that all he will ever be ?
