My boyfriend is confusing me. He says he loves me but he doesn't want a girlfriend. We have been together 5 years now. I have 2 children who my boyfriend looks at as his own. He has been like this for the past 3 years now.

I know he hasn't cheated on me as I trust him with the whole of my heart and I have never cheated on him. I love him so much and I know he loves me. I just don't know what to do. Please help me.

He is afraid of marriage. You have children and every guy that dates someone w/ kids knows that the women are looking for someone to not only share a loving relationship w/ them but w/ their kids. He knows that once the girlfriend/boyfriend label is thrown into the mix the marriage question will be soon to follow. He is avoiding that at all costs right now. You guys need a serious talk and he needs to realize that being w/ a woman w/ kids and not taking it seriously is messed up.

maybe he's shy. my husband is very shy and he waited for like 6 years to ask me to marry him. he might have problems or he thinks that he's isn't good enough for you because maybe he looks up at you so much that he thinks you deserve someone better. cheating isn't a factor. i don't think someone who loves your kids like that could cheat on you. or maybe he wants you as a wife, not as a girlfriend. try talking to him. but don't stalk him or like question him harshly cause that just weakens trust between you guys. hope this helps
