writes:I have been seeing a man for 5 years. I would like to get married to him or at least live together but he seems to want things his way... meaning he tells me that he never had much of a chance to live alone. He lived with a somewhat abusive parent well into adulthood and then another year with some druggie roommate. He has been living alone for maybe 3 years total.He said he isn't ready to live with anyone as he hasn't lived alone long enough. Is this bullshit? I told him I thought about dating others and he went dead silent.He apologized to me for not making more effort and said he would and said he would plan more holidays together etc. We had a break through the other day where he realized how resistant he had been to me and he apologized for it.Should I tell him I am going to date others while he makes up his mind about me?

 If you really want to date others then I guess that's exactly what you should do. However if you are just saying this as a ploy to get him to committ or to punish him then I think you may be making a mistake.
