Is it time to end it?

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 :(

Tell him how you feel and that you want more from him. Ask him what he wants. Hopefully this would help you with the decision.

Well if you are bored, sad and lonely it’s not working for you, is it ? So end it. You are only 40, life’s too short .
