Hi

I'm in a 7 year relationship with my first love from school.

I'm 22 and he's 23 we have a 3 bedroom house and a 3 year old son.

Sometimes i feel frustrated because I want to marry and he's not sure, I don't want to pressure him but i feel like we are going no where.

Sometimes I doubt if he loves me but he says he only loves me and has only ever loved me. I'm starting to wonder if there is something better out there for me, I know we have a son and I would never deny him seeing him.

Please help I'm so confused...

it seems as if you've settled down young and are worried you're missing out on something else. This happens to everyone that settles down early, my friend has been with her boyfriend since she was 17 and she's always cheating now because she's never slept with anyone except him. but just remember the grass is not always greener...

You are both young and have been together from a very young age so I guess neither of you have really been with anyone else. You are bound to be curious as to what you may be missing.

Why is he not sure about getting married? Perhaps he has the same concerns as you. You both need to sit down and discuss how you feel and be honest with each other. You need to tell him what you have said in your letter otherwise you aren't going to go anywhere.

It could be that you need to spice up your relationship; that you have both got a little bored and need to retrace your steps to how you used to be before you had the responsibility of your son. Perhaps you could go out together more and as well as doing this; also pursue other interests, together and apart.

Consider also why it is that you want to marry if you are unsure of whether there is something better out there. Do you want the security or a confirmation of his love for you?

You both need to sit down and talk about what you want from life and from each other.

Good luck.
