    My boyfriend has been acting weird lately and he finally told me that since we’ve been dating a year and a half and that he feels he should know by now if he wants to be with me forever. I asked him what about me makes him wonder and said there isn’t anything about me that makes him not want to be with me forever; he’s just not sure and he doesn’t know why. He’s going back to counseling because I feel like some of this has to do with how bad he was hurt in his last relationship and he never really dealt with it… but I’m not sure. He still loves me and wants to be with me though. I’m considering telling him I want an open relationship to give him his space and to take some stress off. I’m not waiting forever for him to figure it out but I’m hoping all of this helps.

    Anyone have any advice? How long does a guy usually take until he decides that his girlfriend is the one for him?

    Usually a guy is ready to find Ms. Right BEFORE he actually meets her. There are certain things in his life that let you know he’s ready to settle down. They have to do with the place he is in his career, his finances, his desire to settle down and stop hanging out with single guys, etc. There was once a Sex and the City Episode on television that described a man who’s ready so well: One of the characters said, a guy who’s ready to get married is like a taxi with the vacancy light on. If you come along at the right time in his life, you’re going to be Ms. Right. If you don’t, it doesn’t matter how well matched you are — he’s just not going to be ready.

    It sounds like your guy is just not ready to get married. Tell me how old you both are and where you are in your careers and your lives and I’ll be able to let you know more clearly what I think.

    I don’t think that changing your monogamous relationship to an open one where you both date other people is the right answer. A guy is basically ready, or he’s not. Your guy isn’t. Now.

    I hope that helps — even though it isn’t what you probably wanted to hear.
