My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years later. I asked him for a commitment and he said that he wasn’t ready. I told him I would give him time and another year passed before I asked him again. He still said that he wasn’t ready and that we needed some space. Three weeks later he called me and said that he was ready for a commitment and we started making plans to move in together. Then, suddenly we got into a little argument and he said he didn’t want to commit. Should I stick around and wait for him to decide what he wants or should I move on to someone else? -Tired of Waiting

Dear Tired of Waiting,
Frankly, I can understand why your boyfriend might be a little commitment shy. If he’s unable to handle a misunderstanding and move past it, he’s not ready to be in ANY serious relationship with ANYONE. If it was me, I’d give him all the space he needs by walking right out the door. If and when he gets over himself and “his” needs, you can re-evaluate the situation then. For now, every moment you stay with him is another moment you are losing with Mr. Right. Don’t fall into the trap that anyone is better than no one. After three years, if a relationship doesn’t have a goal or purpose, it’s not going to.
