How do you let a man know what he could lose (me) without shoving it in his face? How do I do it subtly?

No jokes, Skynet.

Rocky – You need to make your own decision now. You asked and they answered. The longer this conversation goes on, the more emotional it gets, and that is no good for anyone. This is my last post on this thread. I wish you the best in life, and hope your decision brings happiness.

Rocky, it's my fault for making a conclusion based on tidbits of information from this thread. I shouldn't have assumed you had a bad boyfriend. Take that away though and I still stand by what I have said; in my own single opinion I think it's time you start taking control of your life.

I am going to close my mouth now and side with @san. This has been going on for days and I don't think there is anything more we can offer you.

Sorry if my prior post upset you in any way.

Rocky here's what I would take from brooks' (and my own) posts if I were you. None of us here “knows” you, and we know close to nothing about your BF. We only know and see what you share here, which you must admit is more often than not during a period of emotional distress. Because of that its a bit of a challenge to see the positive qualities about your bf that you see, since they're never “headlines” more often buried deep within a response.

Thats fine, there are quite often OT posts here that get a lot of traffic. If you're looking for truly valuable opinions about such a major decision, this may not be your best resource. I'm not trying to discourage you from posting here, even about this but for everything except the CPA exam itself the feedback you'll get is about as valuable as that from a Magic 8 Ball (you're my generation, surely you had one!). If what you seek is just support during a difficult time, you can get that here as well but might want to be a little more nonspecific about the details so it doesn't get derailed.

I believe one of the biggest constraints of humanity is the idea that “it can wait until tomorrow”.

However, if you have to wait, may I suggest going to futureme.org and writing yourself a letter to be sent on a future date. I believe you said you wanted to give him until February. Write a letter to yourself, it will be sent on that day in February.

I'd say something like “Dear self, was it worth the wait?”.

And only you know the answer, none of us, because, just like others have said, none of us knows your situation better than you do. The most important thing about your life is that you live it without regret. Yes, you have time, but you don't have forever. You don't have to answer to us, but you do have to answer to yourself.

You deserve happiness and someone who makes you happy. You deserve that. But only you know if you're truly happy.

@s2sylvir

That's an interesting idea. I will check that site out.

There's no perfect man out there. Like fertility, the chance of finding a “good one” declines with age. Most people at my age have some sort of baggage and battle scars. The grass isn't always greener. I'm NOT saying that it's acceptable to settle, nor am I going to settle.

A lot of posters have mentioned finding a better boyfriend. Unfortunately, they do not grow on trees.

Dear Rocky123.. I am 42 I got my first kid at 37 and the second 39 both at the first week trying… I got married when I was 33 year old… My sister got the first and only baby 42 perfect baby now 3 year old and she is a widow and got married 40 year old.. I have friends who got married and trying to have babies in their 35s and no baby!!!

My points – You never kwon until you try it.. and every baby is a miracle and blessing…

Life is not perfect but the key is to enjoy and be happy on the way…..If I did not have my kids and I did not meet my hubby after my master I keep study, Now I will be CPA… I never happen… I got married, I have kids and then I realize there is no room up for me if I do not have my CPA…so I am working on that now.
