writes: I have been in an on/off relationship for 4yrs. We live in different cities but this has suited me fine as I'm divorced with kids and at the moment don't want to get married again.I'm really relaxed with this guy and we get to see each other as often as we can. Recently though he's had financial problems, so I have been doing most of the travelling. We did have a five month break last year (mutual decision) and he was the one who initiated we start seeing each other again.Five months on and now he's saying it's not for him anymore and sounded sad when he said this.He seems to think I would be better off meeting someone close to where I live. Actually I wouldn't really want someone around the corner because I like my own space. I asked him if he was looking for commitment but said no not really. We have a great time together and look forward to seeing each other, so what can I do to get things back on track? I'm going to miss him again.

Hmmm... sounds like he's just tired of the extra effort it takes to travel. And, since he's having financial difficulties right now, he doesn't want you to carry that burden alone. Respectable of him, I'd say. Also, 4 years is enough time to realize if this relationship is heading anywhere at all. He's probably calculated other reasons that he is ready to move on. Unfortunately, there isn't anything you can do to make him change his mind. Only time will tell.
Best Wishes....
