Shouldn't he be the one to make the effort to win my affection?

Question - (10 July 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 10 July 2009)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I've been with this guy for three years, we lived together for one of them. He's going to graduate school in Maryland while I'm staying here in Oregon. He says that he needs time for himself to grow and mature, and thinks that we're way too young to be in a serious relationship. We're both 21. He says that he needs this time apart to "explore" and better himself so he can be ready to take the next step with me. He told me that he's not gonna be looking for long-term relationships while he's away and that he'll always love me and wants to marry me in the future.

Since then, I decided to move in with my mom because I couldn't bare living with him. It hurt me too much. He IMs me everyday, doesn't call much, and always asks me to come over. I feel that he needs to make the effort to win my affection, and that is by coming over to my mom's to make amends with my family. They never really had a good relationship. I don't know what to do. I love him very much, and can see myself with him in the future, but I find that I am not happy. Should I end this relationship, or should I just let things go with the flow?

thatgothgirl20 agony auntI got married when I was twenty-one and we are almost at our one year mark. Let him go. He's trying to sound all "mature" about this, but really he's being immature.
