A female United States, anonymous writes:

My Bf and I have been dating for 5yrs. He is 42 and I am 37. Recently I've started asking myself if this is a true love relationship or just a safety net from being alone; someone I've got comfortable with. Any advice would be helpful.. Thanks

As I stated my bf and I have been together for 5yrs, and I do love him he has stuck beside me thru alot as I have him. but there is so much to this relationship that I don't get... we never go out, we don't have sex and when we do its so quick and over with that I am left feeling like we should not have done it at all. He never goes to any family gatherings with me, for various reasons he comes up with. but at the same time I'm still here... He doesn't drink or do drugs and he treats me well .... I just wished that we had more in common...

Sometimes I feel that I stay because I've been here so long, what if I leave and he changes and starts to do things or becomes a diff person.. but I also don't want life to pass me by

He isn't going to magically change into a different person k? Just because you don't have a good sex life or he may just not feel comfortable around your family doesn't mean it isn't a proper relationship. Talk to him about it perhaps.
