Would you break off a relationship if ... ?

Question

Your significant other was not ready to get married or take a very significant step in your relationship (meaning, one that would deepen the commitment) and you were? Explain.

Answer 1

It depends, on how long we had been together for one thing.  Not everyone matures as fast as others and just because one is prepared to take the next step doesn't mean the other is.  Sometimes, one partner thinks more of the relationship than the other.  Now, I'm not saying that is the case with you, but commitment is a big thing and not everyone is ready for it.  h**l, some people will NEVER be ready for it.

Answer 2

No because they need some time before they can make a big commitment like getting married. It would be immature for me to break up with someone that we been in a personal relationship. If your  thinking of doing that, then you need to do some growing up and just wait for him he will come around.  

Answer 3

Well for one, I would definitely be talking to him to see where his head is situated in regards to the relationship. Meaning I would be asking him what his goals are and if any are anywhere near moving forward in the relationship, like getting engaged in the next few months or even to move in together or something of that nature. If he has not plans in that regard, I would then share with him that in the next year or less I would want to be engaged or moved in. And if he is not really in line with those plans, then we would have to break up so we could move on in our seperate directions.

So to answer your question, I would have to say yes I would break up with him, if he does not share my plans. I don't see any reason to keep on dating unless, he had wanted to take care of some things before getting engaged, like paying down his debt, getting a better job or something of that nature. But if he just is of the mindset to shack up, then nope, I wouldn't stick around as that is not my goal for my life.

Answer 4

Depends on how long I've been in a relationship w/the guy.

If he said he's not ready then just give him time.

If he completely says no and doesn't want to be married, I'd leave him cuz I wouldn't want to waste my time on a guy who never wants to commit.

Answer 5

I mean if you really love the guy and your willing to wait til hes ready then I suggest you do but if you cant wait any longer then dnt stick around.
