I think I'm ready to end my relationship but then again, maybe I'm not...
Me, 40, 3 kids (one in own place, 2 at home aged 9 & 11), work full time in education, rent a house.
Him, 35, no kids, works sporadically in construction, lives with parents.
Met online, been together 2.5 years.
In that time we've gone through a few difficulties and supported each other (job losses, Nan dying) and had a lot more fun times (days out with & without kids).
But we don't seem to be growing together. There's no sign of him wanting to move in with me or get his own place. No trying to get a permanent job. No desire to plan things like holidays together. We do not have many interests in common.
He's not a bad person. He just may not be the person for me. It's just that it's been 2.5 years! Couldn't I have realised sooner? The kids like him. I like him. But I'm so bored and sad and lonely. I dunno :(
