I mentioned recently that my bf of 18 months wanted to move in. We have discussed marriage as well, but I realized that our parenting styles of our children, along with financial goals, would be the end of our relationship. I really love him, enjoy being with him, talking to him, etc., but there are times when I also just love being by myself, with my kids, or hanging with my sister and girlfriends. My bf can't seem to "find himself" outside of our relationship, often wanting to spend 3 and 4 days a week at my place. Since I have determined we aren't going to live together, I think he should focus on his plans, goals, and friendships too. I still want to be his girl, but he really is freaked about my need for space for me and my kids at times. I find myself unattracted to him when he acts so needy. I can understand the "blow" that we aren't moving toward more permanency via marriage or living together, but he's 37 and I'm 34, we aren't kids. Can't people be committed but live apart?
