Just the article I needed! I am feeling so "lost" at the moment, not knowing what I should do. I have been with my boyfriend for almost 7 years, he has lived with me for about 6.5 years and still no real sign of commitment i.e. engagement, talk of marriage, children etc. unless that is, I bring up the subject! I tried to talk about children last night, as I'm 36 now and of course, time is ticking by ... he didn't want to talk about it then so I said when ... we decided on this weekend, and I told him I would let him bring the subject up ... but, in my heart of hearts, I know he won't bring up the subject, and I will feel extremely hurt and annoyed inside! ... I really don't know what to do for the best ... any advice would be greatly appreciated ... I'm getting to the stage now where I am thinking "have I waited too long"? ... please help :-) Wow!

I have been with my partner for 6 years and have been 'waiting' for the proposal for three! (I am 31, he 38, so not getting any younger). He knows how I feel about marriage but he just says/thinks it is a waste of money, which hurts me so much. I' m not too sure whether this is even just an excuse. I see other people so happy and I am not. So its time to take control of my like and start giving myself credit for the happy and vivacious person I am. Its time to open up myself to more possibilities and stop waiting around for him to pop the question! Thanks for a very inspiring read x Great post.

I've been dating other men for about two months now - no serious matches - but my self-esteem is up. I speak to my ex-partner occasionally, and he wants to see me in a few days - I will see him (curious and still have love for him) but don't truly want him the way he currently is - my boundaries and wants have been shared. I'll continue my pursuit of a good man. The intimacy questions is "If my ex is with another, and I shouldn't wait and should be dating others, then what do we do about the intimacy?"

I was very inspired reading this post because it speaks to my situation so accurately it makes me feel a small comfort knowing I am not alone in what I feel or I have put myself through. I know its time for me to take control of my life and live it for myself. Sure I hope he will be around down the line, but im tired of waiting for him to do the things i want to do. Time for me to make my life happen now before its over. Thanks for the post it really made my day.

I broke it off with him multiple times because he wouldn't commit to anything more with us every time. I had to completely let him go (no contact) because I knew that I wasn't strong enough to date him and other men. My head and heart would be with him and I felt he'd know that I was only dating to "get back at him" or to "show him". I'm glad I made this decision. Initially, it was the toughest thing to do. Leave him cold turkey then begin to date other men. OMG!!! How difficult!! But I did it and I am enjoying it. It's been a few months since I broke it off with him. He's contacted me many many times wanting to "hang out" but I refused to respond to any of his communications. That 's how he usually lured me back in. I always hung out with him because I missed him. After his many attempts to contact me with no response I finally sent him an email giving him the Rori Raye "speech". telling him how I felt and that he could take all of the time he needed to decide what he wanted, etc. It was a very short email. He emailed me stating that he thought we would've gotten back together like all of the other times by now. He told me that he had his own hang ups and needed to think about us and our future. I never responded back to that email. If I never hear from him again I'm ok with that. I'm dating now and meeting amazing men. I just want to tell you women who are struggling with their men. It Does Get Better. Just get back on the dating scene and you'll see. Hi everyone,

Most of us girls have an idea that we need to keep TALKING to our guy:blah,blah,blah and somehow this will make them move. I'm not saying we should play games or stop communicating but maybe we should take a tip from their playbook - take care of yourself 1st then everything will fall into place.

I had a talk with him last night asking where is this going his response was simply "this is global commitment and I am working on it however it is scary to me" so I will live my life and carry on leaving myself open to other opportunities if they arise and ask the universe to open other doors for me as this door is almost closed and will never open because of who he is,,,Ladies do not wait he is not waiting for you,,, wow what a revelation amazing advice
