I have always been a girl with a purpose. I always have a plan and stick to to get what I want out of life. But lately, I feel as if I'm floundering. My relationship with my boyfriend is totally up in the air. We're at the point where we're either need to move forward and get engaged or just break-up, and I'm sicking of renting. I want to own a house. I feel like I need a change, but I'm not sure what those changes need to be. I have decided to start my own business but I have no financial security. Right now I feel so overwhelmed that it's keeping me from making any definite decisions about my future. -Standing Still
Standing Still,
Well, it sounds like you're ready to put down some roots and have a family, my dear. And there's nothing wrong with admitting that. There is definitely a certain appeal to having someone in your life who you can depend on till death do you part and then populating the earth with mini versions of yourselves. If that is what you really want then, there ya go. You have your next direction/path to follow.
You need to sit your boyfriend down and express to him what you want, to marry him and have a family, to make a life together for yourselves. Let him know that you're ready to take the next step and make a plan for the two of you. Figure out when you want to be engaged by, how you want to go about saving for a house, will you move in together before you tie the knot to save money, etc. However, if he's not on the same page then cut him lose and chalk it up to life experience. Then, go join eHarmony and find yourself someone who wants the same things out of life that you do.
Best of Luck on your new life path!
