Hi seeker 1234,

Doing the math here, you met him in college/college age. Most college romances live and die there. As in, statistically, you won’t find your spouse in college (though many do). That’s One.

Then you moved in together. That statistically is a coffin nail in relationships. You are less likely to get married if you live together. That’s Two.

BUT

It sounds like you did have a taste of the good life and did live abroad for a year. So you WERE living your life. And just because you are in a relationship doesn’t mean you haven’t lived your life.

And your BF genuinely sounds like an awesome guy. If you tell him you want a little apartment just for you, you want to travel more, or even that you need a relationship sabbatical (there is a book called Marriage Sabbatical) I’m sure he would be supportive and not get weird about it.

Good Luck,

Inky
