Not sure i love him... do you really "just know" when you're in love

Ive been with someone over a yr.. we dont live together. Ive never really felt butterflies. I like spending time with him but dont miss him loads when apart. When i think about it he doesnt make me laugh! He can be annoying moaning hes tired (single guy works from home). I have a child and commute full time to work.

Sometimes he just irritates me lol.. i dont always like his sense humour... occasionally takes mick out of me or jokingly says "greedy bitch" if say took 2 sweets... or comments on tv "oooooh yeh" if hot woman comes on.. i then end up pissed off with him for days. We split up then got back together after he promised to "try" ot to make these comments. Hes got better but still slips up! Hes also a little arrogant..admits it and says he likes it!

Hes never really treats me.. a night away or flowers etc. He earns alot but likes everything 50 50. Overall im just not sure hes "the one". But then hes loyal and wants same from life as me. No one is perfect but surely in the beginning i should have felt "head over heels"?. Ive bern on dating sites or just waited patiently to meet the one but years n years ive never met "the one".. i know single us better than with wrong man but i do want more kids. Maybe i just set sights tooo high and need to just get on with someone whos good enough albeit not perfect...

How many of you "settled"? . Im 35... not getting any younger!

I tried to settle but it didn't work. I was 24 though.
I think if you did truly love someone, you would get all the butterflies at the beginning at least til the honeymoon period ends.
Sounds like everything he's doing is beating on you cos subconsciously you don't want to be with him.
35 is still young and you can meet someone who you truly are in love with.

I know people settle for their children and it can work, but if you have no children together, settling won't work and you'll be miserable.

He doesn't sound 'good enough' at all. It sounds like you tolerate rather than like him.

How would you feel if you saw him walking down the street arm in arm with another woman?

Sn0tnose · 23/09/2017 16:55

If he irritates you now, that's going to magnified by a million if you start living with him. You'll get to the stage where you can't bear being in the same room as him, let alone have children with him.

You're not in love with him. Which is good, as he doesn't sound all that nice. Call it a day and look for someone else.
