So i'm sick and i feel out of it. My dad recieved the package i sent him and got really happy. He even bought the plane ticket for TJ and hopefully this weekend Pookey will give me money to make reservations for the Marriott in TJ.

At first he said, "I'll give you $600 for th trip and whatever we need we can get from there" but idk what is wrong with me. Being with this guy for 5 years and living together for 2 I would assume to know better than to fall for everything he says. One thing that really pisses me off about the things this guy does is when he says one thing and does another. I mean, I understand he also has bills to pay and would like to go shopping and spoil himself when he never gets the chance to do so but he doesn't need to get my hopes up. He says one thing and does another.

When rent was due, he borrowed money that i was saving up for the TJ trip and my Dad's plane ticket because he was short $160 on rent. He said that this Friday is an extra check for him so he'll just give me $600 to replace the money he took and to add extra change. So i said okay. Yesturday we went to the mall to change some shorts i bought him and he said he was going to give me $250. I'm thinking, either he forgot, thought i forgot, or changed his mind.

That REALLY pissed me off. 1- because its like a yo-yo. I'm like the little kid trying to catch the yo-yo and he's the older kid going "ah! almost had it! Here you go, Ah! too slow, okay here you go, Ah! nevermind i changed my mind." i mean its a tease and it gets my hopes up! 2- He owes me $500 from a car crash he had a while back, i'm not going to tell him to pay up but i'm letting him pay me back whenever he can. And 3- I hate it when he says one thing and does another. If he knows he can't do it or is unsure if it's going to happen he shouldn't say anything. I'm counting on everything he says and last minute he does something else! If he knew he wasn't going to give me $600 then why the fuck did he say so?!

He's always doing this, not just with money but simple things like, he can say that we're going to go out or to dinner. Hours go by and its like 10 something and he goes to bed. I grind my teeth and feel like crying because he lied. He got my hopes up and i was really looking forward to doing what he said and when we talk about it the next day he has some sort of lame excuse! There is no comunication in this relationship! One thing that really pissed me off was when we got our tax money. We both got 7G's each and we were planning a Vegas trip with his parents and my mom and grandpa. I understand we had to pay off bills and depts but we should have had enough money to go for a weekend at least. Instead, he dropped his car and did god knows what else and when i mentioned the trip again, he said, "with what money?" OOOOooo!!! i was furious! mad i was planning a trip just my mom, my grandpa and myself. But then i didn't end up going. Because i figured out i needed to save more money. And before i knew it, it wasn't there anymore.

On our first trip to Vegas i spent over $3,000 and he prob only spent a max of $1,000 on the car rental and food. The most he has ever spent on me was when we go to Disneyland or when he took me to a Pirate show in Buena Park or when we went to Cirque Du Soleil (which has been the best present so far) and i think tickets where $90 each.

It's just that times like these i feel like i put more effort in the relationship. I feel like i go the extra mile to grow. I find a way to make more money to give us a better life. To have what we always wanted and to enjoy many things we have always wanted to enjoy and that in the future would want to enjoy. He doesn't. He doesn't like to take risks or move up. I guess he's confirmed. He's just confortable where he's at and if it's not for me we wouldn't move forward. Thanks to the fact that i decided to tattoo, i'm making extra change. But if he knows he's not making enough money why doesn't he try to find a better job or a way in which he can?

I told him, that the day i have a baby, i don't want to work until the baby starts school. So that's a whole 5 years that he will have to work to make enough for everyone on his own. I honestly don't know how he's going to do that if he hasn't done so already.

I love this guy with all my heart. We have been through so much together and he has helped me in endless ways. I owe him and his family so much. But he filled my needs while we were younger, now we're getting older and with different needs and I need him to fill those needs too. But from this point on, i don't think he can take chances, risks or make any changes to live a better life, or non the less give his family a better life. Right now we're young and we got our own thing going on but i guess i'm so serious about this that i'm already looking into the future.

I see my friends with their babies and families and i too would like to be the same but i want to marry and form a family with a guy that is willing to move his family forward and not stay in the same spot for years. Every year i seem to be moving forward one way or the other. He doesn't do it unless i convince him.

This bums me out cuz i expect more. That's why it also pisses me off the fact that i can't go back to school, that i can't have time for my family and that i live a daily routine that is not taking me where i want to be. I am not going to rely on a guy to give me what i need so i need to fight for it myself. But i dnt want to have to drag the guy along with me, i want him to want to catch up to me or beat me to it and say he can and will support me in every way possible. That he won't lie and brake promises and will strive to give ourselves a better future. But i'm just living the moment and if life says it's time to change or time to move up i will.

I'm tired of promises that are never kept, i'm tired of sometimes not feeling like i'm his #1. I know he loves me, but he doesn't show it very often because i'm there. But once he feels a threat or realizes that i'm really close to leaving, then he tries to remind me how much i mean to him. I don't want him to do that to change my mind about leaving. I want him to do that to remind me why i'm still there without any reason to do so.

Ugh, blackeyed very emotional right now. Very bummed. Very reflective. Very disappointed. frown

I know those exact feelings sorta the way with my ex i'm moving foward and was working on a future with her while she was still lingering in the same place its weird but you have to do whats best for you what i've learned is that using guilt trip only pushes the person away more by him saying how much he means to you should be a everyday thing your in a tough situation i know you love him and love is a powerful thing but sometimes if you want to have a future where you want kids and a stable life you also have to have that partner who will hear what your saying and work toward that with you. I do hope that things will work out you are a strong women and i believe you can do what it takes to make anything possible if you ever need my support i'm here.

My boyfriend does the EXACT same thing. Why is it so difficult for them to just be straight up and honest about what they say they are going to do. If you tell someone you are going to do something... Follow through with it. I understand how frustrated you are. I'm so sorry. I feel the same way about looking into the future with my boyfriend. I'm so ready to just move in together and start our lives. But its really difficult to do that when i'm the only one who wants to do that. I feel as if he's totally okay and content with living at home. I refuse to be like that. I don't like living under my parents roof. I feel as if I'm a burden to them when i really don't mean to be. frown i know of alot of girls who are going through the same thing right now. Maybe its our age?? I dont know. But i wish things would just change and guys would grow up already!!!

I hope everything works out for you! At least you'll be visiting with family soon!!!! smile

maybe talk to him about it, if it doesn't resolve anything then it might be time to move on. Probably not what you want to hear, sorry.

Hope things work out for you, sometimes just writing things down makes it clearer which path to take. But definitely try and talk things out, rationally and calmly. Sometimes us men need to be told what's going on as we tend to miss the 'signs'

**hugs** sorry lady. you deserve better, but it's hard to walk away from a long term relationship like that. i left my fiance 3 months before the wedding because I realized that neither one of us were going to change, but we were both hoping we would. (We were together 6 years)
Good luck lovely! kiss

So sorry to hear sounds like a couple of us have been there, I do agree with trying to communicate with him and let him know how you feel. But really you are the only one that can make the choice on this situation. Best of luck!

Guys don't look to the future as much as women do and are always behind when it comes to maturing. I don't know what to tell you about what you should do, it's your decision. Men are also bad at communicating. But there is no excuse for him to be making promises and then not carrying through with them. At least without a good reason. To promise something and then just not do it, is disrespectful in the extreme.

Take his ass on Jerry Springer. That always seems to work. Seriously though, I'm sorry. That sounds shitty. But sometimes you gotta step back and look at things from outside the feelings box. I went through a 3-year unhealthy suck fest with my ex because I "loved" her. But as soon as I got out and started thinking about myself, I felt loads better about everything. But then again I'm relationship poison. Dont listen to me.

I'm sorry to hear about your relationship problems. But it does seem like life is telling you it's time to move up and change because your realizing that your relationship isn't going anywhere unless you push the issue and from the sounds of it that's not what you want. You want someone who will walk beside you on life's adventures not in front of you with you pushing them forward. And maybe he's thinking you guys are on different tracks in life if he's not moving forward with you and just doesn't know how to tell you. Good luck babe.
