I've been with my boyfriend for almost a year. He's 39 and I'm 28. I have 2 children and he has one. Their ages are 6, 7 and 8. We are very all happy together. He wants me around all the time and loves being around my children. We live across the street from each other, and just about every night, we stay w/him cause he just loves our company. Back in March, we went away for the weekend and for the first time I told him that I love him. His response was that he has strong feeling for me. He still has not said those 3 little words yet, but he definitely shows it through is actions w/me. If he got down on his knee right now and asked me, I would definitely say YES! We're both divorced people. The only contact he has w/his ex-wife is if it has to do w/their son. There was a small problem w/her in the beginning, but we worked out all the kinks. About a month ago, I asked him if he would ever want to move in together. He said he wasn't ready to do that to his son just yet because they have been use to being on their own since his ex-wife left (they have joint custody). But then after that, he said if I had at least a 3 bdrm house, he would probably consider it. Our 1 year anniversary is coming up in July and I'm hoping he says those 3 words then. Does anybody out there reading this see a future between us w/possible marriage?? :rolleyes:

Sounds like he is not ready for marriage yet. Some people after divorce they tend to be cautious due to past experiences. I don't recommend moving together without being married. Perhaps he will take even more time to decide if he wants to get married.

You both have children to raise and consider, and I think he is in no hurry to change his son's routine. He is entitled to take all the time he needs to get over his divorce and do what's right for his son. A year shows hope but he needs longer. Keep your lives separate until you both get closer. It does show a lot of promise if your both honest and patient.
