This may be a ' hiw long is a piece of string?' Question for some but generally if two early thirty somethings are together this amount time, spend some evenings together midweek and spend a decent amount of time together at weekends , what would general expectations be??
We live 25 miles away fromeach other , both work Monday to Friday, both drive.
I feel that I am being demanding or my expectations are higher for commitment to move in together or commit in some way.He is not ready for that he said.
We are very involved in our family's and friends social lives. We all get on well.
He prefers more space than I would like.
I know it's a general one but would appreciate an opinion if you would thanks

Everyone a different but certainly for me I would absolutely not want to be moving in 18 months after meeting
I wanted to enjoy every minute and look back on these early years with the happy memories not the same situation at all though as the lady in question could be risking not having a baby. She may convince herself she's happy now but it'll likely become a very painful decision she makes.

It's also worth noting some women decide their boyfriend is worth not having marriage and children for. This is quickly regretted when he leaves her for someone he does want such things with and she watches him have the family she wanted but it's biologically too late for her now.
