Valentine's slay, Engagement-phobic and Love: Take the hints

Take the hints

By Unwanted - 03/11/2015 19:10 - Austria

Today, my boyfriend declared he doesn't feel ready to move in with me for at least "some more years". We have already been together for five years. When he bought an apartment one year ago, he kept it a secret for three months. Maybe I should learn to take a hint. Or several hints. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, my boyfriend of 3 years announced that he is not ready for marriage, and won’t be for 'at least' another 2 years. Of course he waited to tell me this 2 days after he had proposed to me in front of hundreds of people, I said yes, and we announced it to all our family members and friends. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, claiming moving in was a bad idea and he is the type who needs his privacy. It was his idea to move in, he had to convince me. Now we are stuck, under lease together for the next 6 months. FML

Great timing

Today, I finally got the courage to tell my boyfriend that I love him. We've been dating almost a year and in a few days we will be moving into the same apartment building and attending the same college. He said, "I'm sorry, I don't feel the same way." FML

Today, my partner of 5 years and I sat down to talk because I expressed hope for a proposal in near future. He instead believed that we should wait, and talk about a potential future for us in another two years. FML

Storage wars

Today, my boyfriend of almost 5 years told me that his reason for staying with me is because he doesn't want to go through our storage unit to decide who would get what. We've had the storage unit for 2 years. FML

Today, my boyfriend admitted that he never thought we had a future together. He just wanted to move in together so he could get "cheaper rent for a while." FML

He doesn't seem to be the commitment type or even the honesty type. Looks like it's time to move on OP.

Five years should be more than enough

Shouldn't OP's age be relevant too? I assume OP isn't that young, thereby justifying her complaints more, but if she started dating him in high school, I could understand the bf being very much not ready.

So comment section looks exactly how I thought it would, women thinking that a relationship isn't worth it if it doesn't come with a house and marriage. Just because he doesn't want to move in with you or get married doesn't mean he doesn't value you or the relationship. Wake up women, men don't owe you a house and ring. Proceed to thumbs down this comment to oblivion so it doesn't challenge your entitlement. :)

Don't look at is as moving on OP, look at it as moving up! :)

Learn to love yourself a little more. Any man worth your attention would actually want you around... Blow him off and find someone else.

a very similar thing happened to me. It's hard to leave when you love them. Try to keep your chin up.

You are not owed a house/apartment or marriage or anything just because you have been together for any amount of time. That type of mentality should have gone out in the 1950's with the idea of barefoot pregnant women that never leave the kitchen. It's anachronistic and stupid. And to everyone who's crying commitment issues or that he's cheating you can be committed and faithful to someone and still not have to move in with them or get married. To think otherwise is the height of entitlement. You deserve it.
