Really we are just roommates. Is it worth hanging on to?

Question - (26 June 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 27 June 2007)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

my boyfriend and I work different hours. He works night and I work day. For the first 2 years of our relationship it worked out fine, but the past two year have been a battle for me. We live together and spend a total of about 29 hours a week together. When I say together, I mean in each others presence. We hardly talk, really we do not have much in common. We rarely have sex, we have a date maybe once a month if I'm lucky. Otherwise he is off doing his own things and I am hanging out with my friends, doing my own things. We really have no common friends. We even go on seperate trips. I go with the girls, he goes w/ the guys. There is no jealosy in our relationship. No communication even when I try. No commitment. We live together and everything is split down the middle just like you would do with a roommate. Is it worth it?

nologo agony auntHow many years are you two together?

It sounds like twonty years together.

"For the first 2 years of our relationship it worked out fine"

This was "honeymoon period" - when you had honey and the moon.

At the moment you have bread and water - that is all you have.

You ask "Is it worth it?" - If both partners agree that it is.

Danielepew agony auntIn my opinion, this is worht it if you want someone who is just a roommate. If you want a boyfriend, I'm afraid this is much less than I would settle for. Seems to me that you're just used to each other.

Have you tried talking to him and asking how he feels?

Good luck,
