sharon123 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 I have been in a relationship with current boy friend for 2.5 years. He went through alot of medical problems and to make a long story short- we ended up living together out of "medical needs". We are both older, 48, and 49 years old. Here is the dilemma I am facing. I no longer want to conveniently cohabit; but I do not want to issue something that sounds like an ultimatum. Any suggestions on how to handle him moving out? I would marry him in a heartbeat, but I don't want to marry someone who has not come to the same conclusion on their own. His health is stable now, but I placed myself into a very akward situation by allowing cohabitation in the first place. Thank you for any response to my concern. Link to post Share on other sites
whichwayisup Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Be honest with him and tell him that you want MORE from the relationship - meaning marriage. Explain to him exactly what you put down here. Does he have issues and is afraid of committing? I mean I don't understand what you mean by " but I don't want to marry someone who has not come to the same conclusion on their own." Men are really slow at this stuff, and maybe he DOES feel the same way as you, but assumes you already know that? I don't know. I suggest talking to him and telling him what you want, then see what he says. Never know, he could surprise you and want to take it to the next level. Link to post Share on other sites
