Violet_Sky Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 have you made it clear what you want, let's leave the kids out of it. You say you are fair in your expectations of him, making up time to you if he doesn't take you to his conference. Have you brought the conference issue up to him? Because if you have, he knows how important it was to you, what did he do? If he isn't doing what you think he should be doing for you, and he isn't doing it even after you have talked about it with him, then why do you stay with him if you aren't happy in the relationship? You can't make someone do something they don't want to do.
Author candy Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 being in my 30's. still not rushing to get married. i like my life, working, being independent, also complicated by living with parent in his 80's and he needs me now. i i never go by other people's timetables (30, have to get married, 3 years, have to be engaged...) but with our 3 year anniversary coming up it would be nice to have that commitment of an engagement. maybe then i would be more inclined to put in an effort to get to know his kids better. otherwise, i'm just "dad's girlfriend". plus, i think marriage is mainly if you want kids, which i don't , but too old fashioned to just live togheter.
