I’ve been with my partner for 17 years and we have two kids together. We’ve been engaged for years but have never set a date.
I’ve been re-evaluating my situation recently and finally had an epiphany- (well to be honest it’s been nagging at me for a long time) I’ve realised that he has no intention of making any kind of commitment to us.
I’ve always put it down to the fact that financially it would be difficult but now we’re both employed and although things would be tight, it would be manageable.
Over the years, there’s always been a reason not to move in together, not to be a proper family which is what I want (though that might sound cheesy) but he’s alway played the finance card. While I was a SAHM He always dangled the carrot of “when you get a job and we have decent money coming in, then we’ll do it” I’ve done all that and still he makes excuses. I’ve been chasing that freakin’ carrot for so long. I feel like if it hasn’t happen by now, it never will. I guess I wondering if I should stick this out or sack it off?
