My girlfriend truly loves me but I can't commit?

[Flyhigh21]

My girlfriend who was my ex coworker truly loves me and I love her too. We were coworkers for 2 years before slowly fell for each other. I've always thought I would be alone forever and actually was okay with it until she came around. Now, she loves me and wants to be with me. But I'm not sure if I should commit long term or continue my path of wanting to be alone. I know being alone now is different than when I'm 50. But what do you think? I know it may seem dumb to let go of someone who loves outside of outside my family. But would appreciate your opinions

WAIT ✋️- are u truly in l9ve with her, or complacent with the ease of the love and accessibility to sexual gratification? Seems u feeling, "only 29 something better will come along.. I promise you (even if u are sexuest man alive) chances are that Mrs better may never come. I Had 2 someones who truly wanted to be with me til of us is dead. I was only 21 and 25 at those times. AFTER 35 time is something u are much more aware of. PLUS folks approaching mid life already have a lot of baggage, (we all do) former partners, kids, too much to do not enough time for u, or just about anything. Approaching 39 myself I have recently become very aware that, no friends + no steady or someone means loneliness and easy 10 years less life. ULD E

IF SHE COULD BE THE ONE U OWE IT TO BOTH OF U TO MAKE IT OR CUT TIES. ITS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

Well said! I wasn't even looking for love or relationship but it just happened naturally. Even though I enjoy my me time now, I don't think I will feel the same when I'm in my 40s or 50s. Appreciate the insight

If you’re incapable of commitment, just stay alone.

She knows I don't want to get married and she's fine with that. I also don't think this kind of opportunity will ever happen again.

You’re the same age as me but you’re looking at this like you’re in your late 60’s.

This is nowhere near the end of the road and there’s no need to sell yourself short.

[Flyhigh21]

I do love her. And I wasn't even looking for a relationship. It just happened naturally. But I'm also looking to the future because right now I'm young. But I'm looking at it if I passed up on this opportunity and was alone In my 50s

You should also consider that being in any relationship does not guarantee it will last.

The longest relationship I’ve had so far lasted 7 years and it was hell near the end…but it was a learning experience.

You're right; this seems dumb
