Unfortunately last night I couldn’t hold it in any longer and had to ask my partner of almost 6 years (living together the same amount of time) what we are doing.

It was hard, I told him maybe we should break up, even though that’s the last thing I want.
Thing is, even though I’m only 22 now (he’s 24) I’ve know for a few years that he’s the one I want to spend my life with. He, unfortunately, is not sure of the same.
He tells me he doesn’t want to break up with me but I don’t see how we can be together that long and he STILL doesn’t know if I’m the one. If he’s unsure, that to me says very clearly that I am not the one.

So what other option is there. Do I wait another 5 years, be miserable, continue auditioning for the role of little wife while not feeling good enough, and miss any opportunities to meet a man who will treat me like a queen and be so in love he won’t take no for an answer after his romantic proposal – all the while never knowing if after the next 5 years he will ever be sure that I’m the one?

Or do I make the break now, be completely devastated, move, divide our stuff, live with other people, but give myself a better chance at long term happiness?
