I'm beginning to resent him, as he doesn't see himself settling for marriage and a family.

Question - (24 October 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 24 October 2008)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Hi all, I have a concern that maybe some of you can help me with. I've been with my boyfriend for four years, but it's weird because he tells me he doesn't see himself getting married or raising a family.

the problem is I do, and I had been hoping it'd be with him, so what am I sticking around for? Don't get me wrong, our relationship wasn't in vain. I love him, but I know you can't force someone to change their minds with decisions like that and I won't try to.

Yet this is starting to making me resent him as we go further. I feel like I'm getting to the point where I should at least be dating someone that has the same life goals as me.

How should I handle this?

thatgothgirl20 agony auntI agree, move on. Otherwise you will just keep resenting him more and more and things will not get any better.
