Is it harder to break up after 8 years and family/friends entertwined? Why hasn't he

[shirleyg]

Is it harder for a couple to breakup if family and friends are all entertwined and we've been together for 8 years?

 

My cousins and my brother are all friends with my boyfriend and his family and his cousins. Like we're all one big family now and we all hang out all the time.

 

If we aren't happy, how do we break up when all our family and friends are now friends?

 

We're still young, mid 20's, but we've been together forever. Sometimes I don't think he's the one for me we never dated anyone else. And he still hasn't proposed to me which is a big deal to me. When we discuss marriage he says he doesn't know what he wants. How can he not know? We've been together forever and our family and friends all know each other and keep in touch with eachother. We are basically family now. I always assumed we would just get married. Why hasn't he proposed yet?

It is harder to break-up with someone if your lives, friends, and families are intertwined.

 

 

But that doesn't mean you shouldn't stick to your guns. Time flies and if you want to move in the direction of marriage, then you need to make the right decision for you rather than wasting time.
