I've been dating a man for five years, I've lived with him for two years, but he doesn't want us to have a family, to get married, to have children. I don't know if the reason is fear of great commitment or just a lack of love and doubts in your own feelings. He himself told me that he had been on the road to take the big step several times, but he kept dissuading himself because we had quarrels at the time, which sounds frivolous to me. He has an extremely strong relationship with his mother and for him she is the most important figure in his life and I still think that if she advises him to get married, he will listen to her, but otherwise, he will make him older. There is love between us, but this is not enough to preserve our relationship and I increasingly think that parting with him is a possible way out of the situation. I want a full relationship, not a partial commitment. I am 26 years old, as is he.

Exactly at your age, I ended a nearly 6-year relationship, more or less for the same reasons - I as a man did not want marriage and children yet, and the woman next to me wanted them and it came to separation. In fact, I can't say that this was the main reason for our separation, because it wasn't, but it definitely had an impact, albeit to a lesser extent. It is completely normal not to want a man of these years to have a marriage and children, and especially marriage may not want it at all, keep that in mind. It will be difficult to fight for marriage at this age, but for children you can easily start pushing, because over the years I myself have become convinced that the earlier the children are born, the better for the parents. Leave this nonsense to the mother and his influence - if you want to have a family together, you just have to lose all possible relatives, and make your own decisions, because otherwise there are a lot of scandals waiting for you, and huge scandals, keep that in mind as well. It is best to start insisting on a child right now, and if it still doesn't decide, and the mother's instinct continues to speak to you - separation and then who is from where.;) You as a woman will surely find a new boyfriend very soon. to make you a child, but when he feels that the supposedly certain that is in your face is slipping away from him, then like nothing he can incline at least for the child.
