I really need some help with the problem. I am at a real loss for words. Actually I feel like I am shaking my head saying WHAT!
I recently moved in with a man that had been a room mate. We would go places on the weekend and have fun together. He kept telling me he was not into relationships. But we kept the relationship I guess you could say as friends with benefits. Well, he moved about 200 miles away. We kept seeing each other. The weekends would be really fun! I guess fun is the key word here. Well after a few months he decided that I should move to where he lived. We found a house together. Now He tells me I dont seem as happy and we are not having fun like we were on the weekends. Well, I feel like get real this is real life and every day is not a fun weekend. I am still the same person I was. Everyday life is just that! He seems to feel this is on me and he is close to saying forget the whole thing. That is unreal to me! I feel I have to be careful about the what I say to him about this because if I am not he will not listen. I am not ready to throw this relationship away. I love this man and I want to keep this relationship but not like this that is for sure. I appreciate your imput as always

Hi Curley, I'm so sorry you are going through this. IMO, I think he just wants to have fun and have no commitment and by you living together after having all the fun weekends it now seems like its more of a serious thing. If he is willing to run after such a short time of being together makes you wonder if he will be there fulltime ...how old are you? how old is he? ...I have spent over half my life trying to make relationships work and I really feel enough is enough....I now know that love is something that shouldn't be taught or forced but something that just comes natural...I wish you the best on this and hope he is just scared and maybe will come around ....being together fulltime isn't always a bad thing if it's with THE RIGHT PERSON....keep your head up and dont settle for less than what you diserve...hugz

This is how I see this relationship..... You have fallen in love with this man while he still just wants to be friends with benefits, therefore, I would recommend that you move into a place of your own and then you two can go back to having FUN as FRIENDS when you are together.
