Hi
Jus had another talk over the wkend wi OH. Basically, I've bn in pretty miserable form for the last few weeks, started off wi something petty with OH but then we went out for a meal and the subject of holiday came up. (For those who haven't read my previous posts, i've given OH a 2 yr dead line to either commit to me by getting engaged n starting a family or to decide that he's totally not ready and we go our separate ways. Currently he has 12 months left.) Anyway, he said "maybe next yr we could go to Oz".
Now, I've always wanted to go the Oz and this time 2 years ago I was fully prepared to blast all my savings and go, but he persuaded me that would be a bad idea. I know that in itself wasn't a bad thing to say, wat did piss me off is that this would fall slap bang at the end of the 2 year deadline! So to me, I interpret this as a slap in the face, he hasn't even give a 2nd thought to this important deadline that I have bn thinking about non stop for the lst yr. Also the fact that he says money is an issue yet expects me to stump up thousands for a hol?
Anyway, as I said, it led to me being extremely withdrawn for a few wks and finally we spoke about it on sat. Basically, I think it gonna lead to us splitting up, sooner rather than later.
His main issue was how can we commit to marriage and bring a child into the world when were having problems.
We do have our arguments but nothing I wud say meant we were "having problems". When we discussed this further he said he wasn't happy with r sex life (Sorry TMI) and wants it to go back to when we first start going out. (I'm sorry but we've bn together 5 yrs, the honeymoon period is well n truly over). I know I can be a huffy cow at times n there r things he does that do my head in but, I wud marry him n start a family with him in the morning. I know how this sounds, that he doesn't love me n is givng me all the signs that he doesn't want the same thing with me, a part of me agrees with that but the other half sees the other things we have.
1. Aside from the above, we get on great
2. He, in no other way, apart from him being unwilling to the above, hasn't done anything to make me think he doesn't love me.
3. He has assured me he is totally committed to this relationship, and says he would have proposed by now if it hadn't have bn for a few problems we had when we first moved in together. However, he also said that I need to go back to how I was before we had our problems, before he will consider proposing again.
He also wants to wait til i'm 30 before we TTC, thats 3 years away.
I'm sorry, I know I sound desparate, but while eveyone else, (usually people who have been together less time than us) are getting married n having kids, I'm stuck in bloody limbo.
Am I being unreasonable with setting deadlines? Any advice appreciated, I just feel that this is make or break for us and its all I can think about.
