We all have that one friend in that sort of relationship- she wants to take it to the next step he doesn’t. They’ve been together for years,of course he won’t just leave her , he simply doesn’t have the balls to because the fact is he DOES like her but he also likes himself more and dealing with the consequences of a break up or living in the fear that one day he may realize he did a big mistake- is just too risky for him.
So what does he do? He drags it on. He doesn’t promise her anything- but he does throw her some false hope every now and then and she’s more than willing to take it and run with it.
I dunno if it’s the masochist inside her or the optimist, but she just won’t leave him, she will threaten to leave him, a lot, but he knows she’s bluffing- she’s done it way too many times and she always comes back to him, unconditionally. She figures, well he’s been with me for years- it’s a good sign.
So what do you think? Will her persistence pay- off or is she beating a dead horse? Do share… Bisoux

All men show they care in different ways… but does he show false hope, or does she misinterpret signs?
What do you define as the payoff? A ring? then no… get out now and shop in another jewelry store…

She has to place a deadline for herself on how long she is willing to wait.
It’s difficult being in her situation… I don’t want to be in her shoes for sure. She has to seriously think things out and say “If he still does not want to commit by (June?) then I am walking out”
Meanwhile she should prepare herself for the worst, and hope for the best.
What do you think?
