Hi, first time I’ve done this but I don't know what to do - My boyfriend and I have decided to have a break to think about stuff - we have lived together for three years. The problem is that we want different things for the future. I want kids soon - he has no plans for them yet (hasn’t said no though) the other day he went out for a drink and came back 2 days later. This really shocked me because he has never done this before - I certainly wouldn’t accept it on a regular basis. He justified where he'd been and I do believe him because I know him very well but I couldn’t get over the fact that he didn’t call or text to say where he had been. His explanation for not calling was "I don’t know - I messed up" I’m now thinking he needed space as I have recently put pressure on him about children. I asked him to leave and have a think, after 3 years together, I think I deserve better than his complete lack of respect for me when he appeared to have vanished of the face of the earth and hadn’t called. I told him this, he looked sad, said he wants to talk tomorrow, I said that wasn’t long enough to think about such a massive thing - but he was adamant that he wanted to see me tomorrow. I would like him to grow up a bit, he puts everyone else first and goes out with his mates often - but says he loves me. (Don’t get me wrong - I don’t mind the mate’s thing, I’d just like to feel important in his life from time to time) I believe him when he says he loves me but he is so rubbish at thinking of my feelings. I am soooo much in love with him in every other way and really, I do not know what to do now. Now, I am worried that in his "time to think time" he will make the decision to leave. I know that if he does then I should accept that is his decision based on that we both want different things, I’m not sure my dreams are that far fetched as he is 30 and I’m 28 and I adamant that I should stick to what I believe in a relationship. I am a pathetic venerable person at the moment, frightened that he won’t come back - Please help - Be gentle with yr replies xxxxxxxx
