Each of us thinks we want different futures. How can we fix things?

Hi everyone,

I am so scared to lose my bf of a year and a half now. We have been friends for 4 years, and he is so wonderful and unique. I am 23 and he is 28, we are just starting to realize that we want different things with our future "together". He doesn't want marriage or kids, and I didn't really want to think about it yet, but know deep down that I at least want marriage.

We love each other, but this knowledge of our differences is really putting a damper on our love life, especially our intimacy. I don't want to give up too soon, because neither of us want to say goodbye.

Any suggestions on how to start it up again?

mommyofthree agony auntAt this stage in the game it may still be too early to really even decide if you ever want marriage or children. He may simply be stating something he has always said and it may change over time, or he may be really in tune with himself and his desires and never waiver. If you are happy now, I would try not to let it bother you too much, but if you know this will be a problem for you then get out before you have wasted any more time or energy on a relationship destined to go no where. While some people can go their whole lives single and loving it, the majority of us are essentially playing the dating game only long enough to find our very own MVP.
