How long to wait for him to totally commit to me?

Question - (9 December 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 12 December 2009)
A female United States age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Hello there!

My question is this. I have a boyfriend of two years and am not sure where it is going to progress. I am Catholic and he is agnostic. How long do I wait for him to make a complete commitment to me? We also live four hours from each other. I have been to see him and he comes to see me too. (However, with his work schedule, I usually go to see him more often.)

My family has found out that he is agnostic and are not pleased with this fact. I continue to have my faith and go to mass on a regular basis. I work hard. My father passed away in August and we all are trying to help my mom cope.

Unfortuately, my mom went to the hospital last week and they found a lump in her brain. Now we are waiting on what's going on with her.

I am so stressed out with not knowing where the future lies for my boyfriend and myself, dealing with work, family and other responsibilities. I feel like my head is going to explode sometimes. I want to do what is right and fair. I love my boyfriend. He makes me happy and I feel right with him.

What do I do? I am so confused? Do I quit my job and move back home to deal with mom? Do I break it off with the bf?

Please help.

A reader, anonymous, writes (12 December 2009):

Quitting your job to deal with your mom is "not" a good idea, and breaking it off with your bf is "not" necessary.

Based on the content of what you wrote, you are not all that close to your parents, and you are more concerned about your uncertainties over your bf.

Brain tumors can be benign or malignant. If it is malignant, and her time is limited, she'll need some one who can make her last days all about her, and devoted to her. She'll need someone who is free from personal or financial stressors of their own.

As for your bf, you are going through a trying time in your life. How he is responding to this should say it all to you. But, are you listening?
