Hello JustUs,
I have been dating a man for a year and 6 months now. He is very funny and passionate about life. There are a lot of things I like about him, but there a few things about him that makes me feel as though our relationship will not be able to last over time. He is 28 and and I’m 21. He is constantly talking about marriage and children. I often try to avoid the discussion altogether because I know that I am truly not ready to go through with such a major change any time soon. He does not put out the effort to spend quality time with me and is also quite cheap which are some of the main reasons why I cannot see myself marrying him. I see him twice a week at most and we usually end up staying in, instead of going out to dinner or doing activities I love. Finally, he expects me to be supportive of all his interests even though he is rather indifferent to mine. I have discussed my issues with him on several occasions to no avail. At times he does change but the change is never permanent, as he always ends up reverting back to his old ways. What should I do? Please help

Hello Still Growing,
It is obvious you and your current boyfriend are on two different paths in life. He is ready to settle down and start a family while you, on the other hand is still growing and learning who you are and what you want out of life. You clearly know that this isn't the man you want to be with so why waste time? Perhaps it's time for you to move on and meet that next special someone who is more compatible to what you're looking for. Remember, marriage is suppose to be forever so when considering a mate, look long term.
