My boyfriend and I have been together for 1 1/2 yrs. I'm wanting a committed relationship (marriage & family) while he has never felt ready to commit- wanting more life experience, freedom, sexual experience- although he has been faithful and loves me. I'm 34, he's 27- we're in different stages of life. I am almost 4 months pregnant with his child, I don't want to be a single mom. He told me that if it weren't for the child he would choose his freedom over the relationship, however, he has agreed to live with me and co-parent and try to work out the relationship to the best of his ability. He has mixed feelings about the relationship, and he wants space to feel his anger, depression, fantasies about other women, etc. Am I holding onto a romantic ideal of wanting an affectionate, loving, committed partnership- is this expecting too much in this situation? We do love & care for each other, yet I understand how he feels life pushed him into this- Can this story have a happy ending?
