seaberry Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Almost a year ago (Nov 2010) I broke up with my boyfriend of five years (now six since we met); we are both 34. The relationship had never really been stable and the ups and down were just getting to be too much to take. At the time of the break up he asked me if I would be willing to consider us as "separated" of sorts with opportunity to reconcile in the future. We stayed in contact and have recently started spending more time together. During our time apart he went on a partying streak, letting his business slide. He say this was his "low" and that he has been really thinking about things and that I am his priority. Although I missed him in our time apart I must say that having the stress of an unstable relationship off of my shoulders has been a relief. The times that we have been spending together recently have all been very positive, and I do still love him. However I have some major fears about giving this another try. First of all, I fear that things will go fine for a while and then the old behavior will return. Or what if I marry him and have kids with him and then I am stuck forever with the stress of his unpredictable behavior?! Being that I am almost 35 and stuck here right now makes me feel like I should just give up on having a family now. Ugh.
