Are they ready for full commitment but you aren't?
Isn't this one of the most perplexing problems of relationships where you're happy in a relationship but one of you wants to make it permanent and the other wants to stay as it is? The person who wants more find hard to understand why the other person doesn't - and of course the person who wants to maintain the status quo doesn't want to feel pressured.
In my weekly Love Clinic on iVillage UK today I've tackled it dilemma from a woman who is in this situation. Do check it out if you're facing this.
TODAY’S TIP: ultimately the best tip in this situation is to be completely honest with each other - the worst thing is to make promises like you might be ready to settle down in six months, etc. Don't make promises you can't keep and for the person who wants more don't keep putting pressure on.
Once you've been honest with each other you're both responsible for deciding whether you stay in the relationship or whether it's not the right relationship for you.
Not easy and tall order but it's the only way to avoid as much heartache as possible.
Take care of yourself, Pamx
