Hi April,
Thanks so much for your advice. Since I wrote my original post, he and I have actually resumed being intimate again, however, for me the idea of a committed relationship is still something that I want. As far as me getting a job and moving out, I actually have a job and we got the apartment togther, so both of our names are on the lease. So in some way, he and I are comitted to our living situation, for a year at least, but not to each other. It’s just so confusing because we spend alot of time together and I know he isn’t seeing anyone else and he has expressed to me several times that he is not interested in dating anyone else, however something about having the title and the committment scares the heck out of him. It’s just so weird, because we get along great, enjoy the same things, and genuinely care for and respect each other. However I’m not foolish to think that he is my boyfriend and I appreciate you pointing that out to me and snapping me back to the reality of what this relationship is. It’s hard for me because I sincerely love him very much. But after three years of having a very passionate (good and bad) relationship, it’s really hard to let it go. Thanks again. 🙂
