Question - (23 July 2007) 1 Answers - (Newest, 23 July 2007)
A female Canada, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend is in dilemma thinking if he should pursue something he wants to do or he should forfeit it because of the responsibility being a parent. My bf got married at a young age and has 7yr old daughter with his ex. Since he became a dad (un-expectedly), he feels he can no longer leave to go to Japan and live there for a few years. He realizes after his divorce, he cannot even move to another city because it’s not fair for the kid not to be able to visit him weekly. He’s feeling really down and cannot figure out a solution. It is to the point it’s starting to hurt our relationship and his health. He said I just need to give him time to think it through. I am very concern. He’s becoming very quiet. I wish he could talk to me about it more. Is there anything I can do to help?

A male reader, blaz£ United Kingdom +, writes (23 July 2007):

blaz£ agony aunttry talking to him.

but dont pressure him that will ruin your relationship.

get emotional when you talk, and tell him how you feel, otherwise he will view it as his own problem and no-one else matters.

if you tell him your upset about it and its because he wont talk to you you will get drawn into it and he will tell you his feelings.

but if he really says no im afraid you cant force him.

its up to him, dont keep going on about it, and let him decide if he dosent want to talk, itll be hard but if the above^^ dosent work, youll have to let him sort it out himself:(

good luck, all the best. feel free to message me if you wanna talk a little bit more xx
