She’s Currently Pregnant And Upset That Her Boyfriend Hasn’t Proposed Yet, But The Reason Is He Thinks There Could Be A Better Woman Out There For Him
A woman is currently pregnant and expecting her first child with her boyfriend whom she has been with for close to a decade.
Her boyfriend hasn’t proposed to her yet, and she’s honestly pretty upset about it. She did finally confront him and ask why they have not gotten married or at least engaged so far, but he wouldn’t give her a straight answer at first.
Her boyfriend said that he would propose to her “soon” but he’s said that so many times she stopped believing that it would happen.
Eventually, she said if he wasn’t going to propose to her that she was not sure if she could stay with him.
“After going back and forth, he finally told me the reason,” she explained. “He said it’s not that he doesn’t love me enough to marry me because he does love me more than anyone else in the world, he’s just haunted by this idea that there’s “something more” out there.”
“He’s happy with me and he wants this, he’s just afraid to tie himself down and close himself off from other things.”
She questioned her boyfriend about if he is interested in seeing someone else, but he said that wasn’t why he’s held off on proposing.
Her boyfriend revealed that although he is in love with her, he wants to be more in love. He expects love to be this incredibly passionate, “obsessive” thing, but it’s not what he has with her.
She understands that for 9 long years, her boyfriend has looked at her as just a “backup plan.” She sobbed as she came to this realization.

“I’m not going to waste any more years of my life being second best to a woman he hasn’t even met yet,” she said.
“The idea of not being with him anymore is really painful…I have spent so long waking up beside him and just having him there.”
“All the most important moments of my life, he’s been there to celebrate with me. He says I just need some time, we can go to couple’s counseling, and he knows how stupid he’s been and he wants to marry me and make it up to me.”
A piece of her thinks that counseling could be great for them and their relationship, but then she’s wondering if she should stop wasting her life with this guy who clearly can’t commit.
It’s also pretty ridiculous that he expects a better woman to come along.
Do you think she should try counseling, or rip off the bandaid and dump him?
