my boyfriend and I just broke up because of a "marriage conversation" in which I told him it was part of my plans and I needed to know if he meant it or not when he said he's never gonna get married (always jokingly). since our break up (we 'd been together 4 years- his first relationship at age25), I've heard about lots of couples breaking up while one of them grows up and then getting back together and getting happily married. I really think this is what is going on and so do most of the people in my life. He says he just needs to figure things out- everyone else says he just needs to grow up. Does anybody know more couples like this? How long were they broken up? he wants to keep talking but I don't want to slip into being "just friends" and I don't think he'll really miss me until he can't talk to me. If you knew a couple like this, did they keep talking or dating or anything? Should I be talking to him? What am I supposed to do during this time?

Bottom line? Find someone new. As you meet new men, make sure you really listen when they tells you what they want out of life. Your previous boyfriend was apparently honest in expressing how he felt; you stayed because you thought he would change. You both stayed the same.
You have a right to want to get married. Find a life partner who wants the same things out of life.

My ex-gf (we have a 20yr old son now) did this. She wanted to get married. I wanted to finish school first. She threatened to break up. I said "I dare you." She did it. Thank GOD.
She married&divorced twice after that.
I wanted a stable family; and frankly, her manipulative nonsense with the child support and custody caused a LOT of problems in my (later) marriage. So she was able to somewhat get her revenge. But boy am I glad I let that one go.

go on with your life don't wait for him, if it's truly meant to be it will happen. avoid him and if he truly misses you as you do him he will find you and marry you.

I would go on with my life.....if he happens to come into it again then see what is happening.....other wise I would think that he is playing with me to keep me hanging on.
