My pre-semester anxiety is kicking in and now I’m not sure if I loaded too much. I have BIO2107L twice because I’m waitlisted for a different time slot.
Anyone have two cents on the workload and burnout potential?
36F here, dating 34M. We’ve been officially together for about 4 years, lived together for 2, and he still can’t decide if he wants to marry me or not.
I’m not in a rush for a wedding, but I feel like he should definitely KNOW if he even wants to marry me by now.
Neither one of us has kids and I’ve made it known multiple times that I want one before I’m 40. His best response to my wish is that his mother had him after she was 40.
He spent all of 2025 cheating on me and buying me gifts until we broke up. Obviously the trust had been broken which doesn’t make anything easy, but he wanted to recommit to me back in January. I told him to get rid of the women on socials and he fought me tooth and nail about it. He’s still under various women’s post today.
Even nowadays the way he communicates with me is horrible. It doesn’t matter the manner in which I address him, he always responds like he’s trying to defend himself and yells like he’s 15.
Even after saying all of this, I’m not sure I’d marry him even if he asked, but it’s the fact that he’s not even sure that annoys me. I feel like I’ve been dumb and stuck in survival mode with a man that’s pretending to love me.
I’m sure any man would confirm that he does NOT love me, so I then ask…
Why does he still say he wants to be with me?
Why won’t he just let me leave him and be done? He clearly doesn’t want to be my husband, so what is it?
