Don’t let him waste your TIME.
Your TIME is valuable and though you may think that you are “young enough” and that you have a lot of it left, think again.
TIME stops for no one.
If commitment, children and/or marriage is what you want, don’t let him drag you along for 10 years if your limit is 2. Decide how much TIME you are willing to give the relationship but keep it to yourself. He doesn’t need to know about your time frames are. If he really wants you, he knows what he should do.
And don’t stay with him just because you have “invested” years in him and don’t want to start over with someone new.
It’s better to start over now with someone better for you than to stay with him and be miserable.
SO TRUE! Oh my goodness, I can’t believe how much your posts have resonated with me. I recently left a >15 year relationship, and I’m so much happier already. (And have a new partner who’s phenomenal.) It was so hard to walk away from something I had invested so much time into, but I knew it was the right choice for me.

Another lesson I learned late, but as they say better late then never👍. 57 years old absolutely no time to wait.

I resonated with this post strongly. Time is definitely something a person can’t get back. I just wish I know then what I know now.
