He started doing this a 15 months ago we will go to a concert festival or say Thanksgiving at my family's 400 miles away. He started whining and wanted to leave five minutes after we got there. I would say no.

He would leave me stranded there or we would get in horrible fights on the way home. He would say it's no big deal after pouting and sulking all day and screaming at me the whole way home.

I go solo everywhere. His friends think I am horrible. I am sick of rearranging my whole schedule for no reason.

He was all pouty I didn't take him to my reunion or my company Christmas party or my family's house. I waited for him and he never came down. He couldn't decide if he wanted to go or not. So after fifteen minutes I left.

He called the police and reported me missing. Twice. He knew exactly where I was. The police were pissed. At him.

I told him we need therapy. i go for me. I can be impatient and a bitch sometimes. He said he doesn't have a problem.

I have two friends: both are 40, have chosen the single life for years. One is a guy, he was friends with a girl in her early 30’s for a year and dated her casually for a year before he finally decided she was the one and asked her to be his girlfriend. After one year of seriously dating, he proposed marriage at Christmas. They married two months later. He’s a guy, we’ll call him Ryan. Him taking his time is fine.

The other friend is a woman (we’ll call her Tara), she’s been “seeing” a guy (also 40) for at least 9 months. They haven’t labeled it yet, every time I ask her when she’s labeling the relationship she always says “we’re taking our time with it, keeping it casual and just being friends first”. I love Tara, but she’s out of her freakin mind. I demanded my boyfriend to define the relationship after 5 months. Tara does want this guy, but she just lives in her own little shell and won’t demand what she wants. She just sits back lets things happen and says she wants him to define it in his own time (I told her drop his ass if he doesn’t define it at the end of this month).

It’s fine that Ryan took his time. He’s a guy and it’s more socially accepted for him to put off relationships and marriage. For women I don’t understand it though. I feel like when we go that route, we get used, we get our time wasted and we get hurt. I think Tara is making a huge mistake, but my boyfriend says she’s not. What if she defines the relationship and then decides she doesn’t like him after all (that’s his logic). Maybe because I’m also dying to matchmake her and there’s a friend of my bf’s who I want her to meet (because he’s dying to date her and I think they’re perfect for each other).
