i have dated same guy for 7half years, great relationship, no commitment, how long til i need to move on?

i don't want to move on, but i would like to marry and live together. we are very close and he just seems very content, but i want to combine our houses so we can sleep together and build a life together. I am 34 two kids and he is the best to them. he is their coach in little league and helps them with homework and contributes with everything they are involved with to the Nth degree. he truly loves them and me, but no commitment. he talks about OUR HOUSE someday, but i am ready to move forward and make a life. what is he waiting for?

Give him an ultimatum and if he does not step up to the plate move on. You are about 4 years late in giving the ultimatium.

Um, about 4 years ago would have been a perfect time to give up.
Sorry to say this, but if he hasn't committed after 7 years, then it is not likely.
I would go as far as to say this guy is selfish.
Having his cake and eating it too. He has you for all the fun stuff, but still lives a single life. No commitment, no hassles. Of course he is content. What a life!!
After 7 years of you not putting the pressure on, I don't like your chances of seeing a ring any time soon.
I would give him an ultimatum. "Marry me or don't forget to shut the door on your way out"

You need to sit down and have a serious conversation with him about this matter. You need to spell out what your dreams are of the future. What is the vision that you have for your life? You don't need to give him an ultimatum, but you need to make it perfectly clear what it is that you want. He will then know that he needs to make a decision. If he doesn't share your vision of life, then move on and find someone that does.

It's time to have a serious talk with him about this. Seven years is an extremely long time. If after discussing it with him you are on the same page and he is ready to move forward with you, great!
If not, it's time NOW for you to move on without him. Let him know that one way or the other, you are not willing to sit here in limbo with him anymore.
Good Luck

Here's your change
Sounds like his life is pretty cozy............he lives alone, comes over to see you when ever, sleeps with you when ever, and can go back to his own place for peace and quiet.

Tell him you're ready to settle down. If he isn't interested in living together or getting married, then it's time to weigh in your options.

Do not invest more than 2 - 3 yrs. in a relationship without marriage...Do not have kids out of wedlock..
Get a good Pre-Nup...
I don't know what to suggest in your situation...
You can't exactly start over but you have already wasted
way too much time..

He'll moveon wen he feels he ready but he aint gna come out and say it cos thats wt us lads are like....try hinted...but alot cos it take a while to get it nailed into our minds...talk to him about it and see how he feel cos im sure after this long seeing each other he want to grow old with you that he rly loves you.....hope i helped at least a little.....=)


some one that cares
Tell him you wont to get marred or he will have to go . Why buy the milk if you can get it free? He knows in his heart that he has you. But if you lat him see that you are not playing . It just may open up his eyes. Put space between the two of you and if he really Love you he will marry you.

during dinner one night bring up the subject, he may just be waiting to see if YOU personally want to move in together. being, he probably is trying to show you respect

Have you discussed with him your feelings about wanting that commitment? Men aren't mind readers. You need to talk to him, but I don't believe you should demand it from him. Wouldn't you want him to marry you because he wants to and not because you gave him an ultimatum? But if when you all discuss it and there is no agreement or he shows no signs of wanting that commitment, then you do what you have to do and move on immediately.

We don't know what he is waiting for. Also, it is possible that he has NO PLANS and therefore isn't waiting for anything the way you are because in reality he is happy with the things are, regardless of what he has told you up to this point. Have you told him how you feel? You need to have a serious discussion with him on what BOTH of your expectations are, with a plan on how to achieve your goals.


justine e
hava a word with him about your feelings that's the only thing that works.


sonya h
If this guy truly loves u and your kids, he would have married you 5 years ago, why are you playing house with this guy, it's clear he don't want to get married


momof3
7yrs... Christ I would've looooong ago... Ask him, what he is waiting for... maybe he's already married?

You don't need to be married to do that and if your happy why put more stress into your relationship so soon.

be open with him, honesty is always the best way to go, tell him you want more out of the relationship, you have been together more then long enough, if he loves you he should understand and give you what you are asking for, no need to go looking for something new when you have a great thing stearing you right in the face


Ryan M
you Don't do anything He Has To do it and if you want to bring it up in a conversasion.


We Done Yet?
You need to sit him down and just have a serious heart to heart. Does he know you want to get married? Have you asked him what he's waiting for? Don't be afraid to hurt his feelings, we all just want the truth. If you feel the need to move on unless he's willing to commit and take the next step with you, then you NEED to tell him that!


redpeach_mi
you need to sit down and talk to him about this. i would have moved on after 3 years, let alone 7. if you want to be married and have a family together, you need to express that to him. if he does not feel the same way, then it's time to move on.

The problem is you dated him for 7half years- what happened to the other half of those seven years? You should have dated him for 7 whole years, he is probably confused about you leaving in the middle of each year.
