I would like to have kids and get married someday. I have told this to him many times and he ignores me or says he is not ready. My question is how long can one wait and should I go on with my life and leave him behind. Keep in mind we're both 25, and he has a six year old son with someone else. Reply to this Question Share |

This is more about you and what you want, your the one who wants the marriage and kids. Do you love him enough to stay if he won't give you this? Will you miss him and hurt if you walk away and find somebody else. He's not ready now, are you ready? You got some choices to make, but they are your choices, I can't tell you which way to go. Only you will know what's the most important.
Talk to him again - Tell him it's important to talk about your future because the relationship is now breaking down.

If you feel he is not the one, then it's only fair to walk away, but be sure. Be prepared for things to feel strange if you do go it alone, but don't be afraid! If its what you want, go for it, if you think you could have a future with this guy, stay put! Sorry if that's not very helpful but truth is you have to make the decision yourself!
