Why won't he make the move?

by Sally Ann Lasson

question
I have been seeing my boyfriend - who has been divorced for six years - for the past three years. We still live apart and I have mentioned a few times that we should consider living together. He says it would be nice, but something is stopping him from making the move. I feel like we'll never live together. Neither of us have any children. I am starting to get worried that I am letting time pass me by waiting for him to decide. Should I give him an ultimatum?

answer
It's understandable when a divorced person is cautious about making another commitment, but three years is probably enough 'space' for your boyfriend to decide whether living with you would be 'nice' or not. There are two people in this relationship who have the power to make decisions, and one of them is you. Do you want to live with him or marry him? Do you want to have his children? Or are you actually quite happy with how things are? Decide what you want and then tell him.
