Thanks very much for your advice Laura (I think that is your name if I remember it from discussions on here correctly)

My boyfriend and I actually knew each other before - we went to the same High School, and we shared classes in gr. 10 (many years ago). We used to be somewhat of friends, like we walked home from school together sometimes and talked, but not much more than that. Then he switched High Schools mid-way btw. gr. 11 and I've totally lost contact with him (although he did leave me his phone number), until I've met him again by chance this year in a store, more than nine years later. So we got back into contact, went out a few times and then decide to get into a relationship (I guess you could put it that way). It was nice at first, I think he told his co-workers and his friends about me and he took me to visit his sister, who lives in Montreal, and for his birthday party we went out for dinner with his parents. Those all seem like nice, committed things to do, and when I read over what I'm writing here, it seems like a perfect story so far... but I am so sick of listening to this stuff every once in a while, like if we were just buddies and not people who are (or should be???) planning a future together.... I don't know. It really feels painful to be listening to those things, because I believe that if one really cared, they would want to or plan to spend their future with you together, and would at least mention you somewhere in their plans. Also, it feels hard to tell him that I don't like listening to it, because he's somehow not receptive to it. In regards to our age, we are both in our mid-twenties, I've finished my school and am working full-time in my first real job, and he's been working for a few years now, but plans to switch careers, so he signed up for part-time college courses while he works full-time as well.


you say he's unreceptive to when you tell him it bothers you - well, that's most likely because he's actually not going to act on any of it, and is just talking out of his ass because he wants to slow things down a bit. if he's switching careers, and is enrolled in college and working full-time, that's not a life that you can pick up and walk away from so you don't have much to worry about. does he have friends in BC? support network? job? family? goal? purpose? is there any fathomable reason why he should be there and not here? or is it just a pipe dream?

i'd also suggest getting your own pipe dreams in place and talking about your own person as opposed to only identifying yourself as a unit of something else. girls, we are way hotter when we are fiercely independent, and i think that would probably squash his tree-hugging talk a bit.

hope that helps! and yes it is Laura

and i agree with everything swamper said as well haha

Here is what I have to say to you (take it with a grain of salt.../free advice is only worth as much as you paid [$0]...):

Life is long (very, very long). As interesting/rewarding as it may be, guessing/planning/expecting a specific future is mostly an intellectual exercise. It's great to have dreams/hopes - but realize the farther out they are, the more variables come into play and the less one should expect things to happen "as planned". Things change, life evolves - what seems to make sense today, may not make sense tomorrow.

Enjoy the moment (what you have today). Reality is what you make of it. If you worry about tomorrow, today will become a manifestation of such (and won't be enjoyable). Be thankful for the path that has led you to the moment that you are in and be a sponge - absorb all the learning and knowledge of the experience of your life.

Nothing is absolute (change is it). The good thing about life being so long is that there is an opportunity to make many choices and decisions. If something doesn't work - try something else (keep trying until it does work). Endless possibility exists for those who take the risk and jump right in. Jump - always (most important thing I ever learned). With enough momentum life always puts you where you need to be.

Plan for what you don't expect/know. Spending time planning within your comfort zone (no pun intended) will produce disaster. Expect the most unexpected and plan on how to deal with it (anything less will be a cake-walk).

Live with [u]absolute[/i] conviction. Marginalism is the sticky-trap of the majority. Live large, think big, expect the most, judge, be judged - apply your system to the universe and have people know exactly what you stand for and how you see things to be.

Love forever (and always). Nothing in this world is true without true, devoted and unconditional love. Forget risk, don't over-think and simply over-love the that that is most important to you. Nothing is lost by loving too much.

I could go on, but alas I feel somewhat verbose. I wish you everything you expect and deserve. Cheers!


That is really good advice RJ!

I would have to agree with everything you have said here. Life has all its twists and turns and you can be right side up one minute, and upside down the next.

As long as there is open communication about your relationship and you are both happy in whatever parameters you have laid out, then that is all that matters. You don't have to be such-and-such a way to be considered BF and GF...it is what each of you feel and know in your hearts.

Hi there everyone... thanks for your opinions... esp. Irishaddict and RJ (thanks for that long post, it looks almost like something out of the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" book, but it's quite nice and inspirational, so I like it )

Yes, I realize that I should probably be more independent and self-sufficient; problem is that for me, I tend to be a very emotional person, and find it hard to be alone... I sometimes think that I should find other activities, do things after work where I'd have a chance to meet more people and have more of a social life etc., that would make sense, and I wouldn't be so dependent on a partner (boyfriend) to feel happy. That would also fall in line with being more "independent" as Laura said I plan to look into that, but am also postponing it from day to day as a true procrastinator. And also the advice to focus on building a career is good, actually, sometimes when I get depressed, I tend to image that I'll find a better job and start working there, and just that thought makes me feel a bit better... too bad it isn't as easy to implement it is to imagine it, lol...

Thanks again everyone, I know lots of what you said was right, it gives me good insight (i.e. he also said that 'things are moving too fast' once, so I guess that if other people on here have that impression, it would probably be a factor... although I fail to see how, I mean, I wasn't asking him to become engaged or get married or have children right away... but whatever). Well, I'll think about it all, thanks again to everyone for their advice... good night

That's a good song actually; I remember I used to enjoy listening to it back in High School... at that time, I had a big crush on this one dude (I think he might have liked me too, but he behaved somewhat strangely, never dared to come out and say it openly to me, just gave me these uncertain hints), and the song is reminiscent of how much I was thinking of him that time... he's gone now, I've lost contact with him completely after he left High School, so I have no idea where he is and what he is doing, but he still comes to my mind whenever I hear that song.
