He Wants To Breakup With His Girlfriend Of Nearly Five Years Because She’s Talking About Moving In Together And Having Kids, But He’s Just Not There Yet
This young man has been dating his girlfriend for four years, and they are coming up on their fifth anniversary.
He still lives with his parents and is trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life. But, more recently, he has begun feeling like he’s finally ready to take the plunge and move out.
“I have been going through a lot with life, and I’m finally at a point where I just want my own space, away from my family,” he said.
He has told his girlfriend about this, too. However, whenever they discuss him moving out, his girlfriend jumps in and talks about how she wants to live with him.
Quite frankly, though, that just is not what he wants at this point in his life.
“I don’t really think about that because I want to be selfish with my own space for once in my life,” he admitted.
In addition to their differing views on living together, his girlfriend also wants kids.
To clarify, they did discuss the idea of kids at the beginning of their relationship, and he was on board. Still, that doesn’t mean he feels ready to start a family right now, and he doesn’t think he’s in the right position to do so, anyway.
After all, he is still figuring out what he wants to do in terms of his career.

“And I know she wants to get married and have kids eventually, sooner rather than later, but I don’t think I’m there in life for that yet,” he explained.
He wanted to make it clear that he does really love his girlfriend and believes she is a very caring and loving person. But that doesn’t change the fact that he feels like he must get his life together first before he can even consider embarking on a more serious relationship.
“Or even think about raising a family because I’ve never been on my own as a man,” he vented.
That’s why he is refusing to move in with his girlfriend, and he is also even considering ending their relationship. But he’s not sure whether breaking up with his girlfriend just because he’s not ready to move forward yet would make him a jerk or not.
Isn’t it clear that he and his girlfriend are on different pages right now? Even so, does that mean he automatically has to break up with her? Or could he express his feelings and see if they can make it work? What would you suggest?
