My relationship doesn't seem to be moving forwards. I don't want to push him but should I keep on waiting for him to decide what he wants?

Question - (7 January 2013) 3 Answers - (Newest, 8 January 2013)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I have been with my boyfriend for nearly three and a half years.

We lived together for about six months early last year but I left because he asked for space, so fair enough. But we have stayed in the relationship since.

But I am looking to move into my own flat soon and since we are still together I have asked if he would like to live with me again. He has said he would but does not want to rush things.

I understand this however he had half a year to sort himself out (while he lived alone), and I suppose over three years being with me to decide if it is what he wants?

I dont want to push him but I don't know if I should wait anymore? We have been in a long distance relationship since he asked for space, and things are getting hard.

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks

anon_e_mouse agony auntOK, you left because he asked for space. You gave him space. Now it's not going anywhere.

He's not interested.

Move on and find someone who is.

So_Very_Confused agony auntat your age, with the length of the relationship, I can pretty much tell you that you are not his special one..

he's with you until someone who truly lights his fire comes along.

I would not wait.

I would not move in with him.

I would get my own place and slowly wean him off of you.

Generally when a guy says " I need space" that's actuallly guy for "I want out".

You've been together for a long time and he doesn't seem to have made an effort to further anything. I feel its a lost cause, stick with your independence, and maybe he will come around, but he sounds as though he isn't looking for anything serious.
