I mean normally you'd expect it to be the other way round...My partner's never been married or had children, and for some reason thinks partying is all he can live for - he even goes to Ibiza every summer!Is that why his relationships with women never last - saying that ours has lasted for 18 months now!I did discuss it with him, but he found the whole thing a joke... which it isn't to me!Anyone able to help??

If it was a new thing i would say hes having a mid life crisis, but if its been going on forever, it sounds more like he's avoiding reality and living out a childish fantasy of beeing a teen/student again and again. Im sorry!
