Els Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 I know the chance of things working out are slim but for my conscience I like to *KNOW* there's nothing more to do. There isn't. From everything I've read about you and him, it's pretty much a lost cause IMO. Yes you could keep it puttering along for another month or two if you say/do all the "right" things perhaps, but to what end? Also, you two are too new to be going "all in" like that and trying to make sure you've done everything you can do (again, IMO). The "try everything before you give up" mantra is for LTRs and marriages. Not for relationships of 6 months. Frankly, 6 months is supposed to be the honeymoon phase. That doesn't mean you can't have a few disagreements, but not major **** like this. This is not something you should want to "salvage". You're not exactly this man's partner of a decade with 2 children and a house keeping you from leaving.
Sweetfish Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 YOU bought a fixer upper. A blank slate that you thought you could repair and creatively model into your perfect residence. Bingo.......
No_Go Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Peach, is there any update here? From all that I read from your threads he sounds a lot like my last bf. He's emotionally immature and inexperienced, a bit selfish and just generally acting like a boy not grown up. How old is he? With my ex I had all this lingering thoughts about break up in the first year of dating, then he 'improved' significantly and I was even considering marriage, then things went downhill although right now we're talking maturely so there is a slim chance to get back... I think in my ex's case and your bf's case they're acting out a stage of their life that was supposed happen much earlier. I also think if you're very patient he can turn into a better partner, but it will take time.
