When I was single, I was also eager to have my own family. And my principle hasn't changed. I can't find someone who doesn't treat me well. We shall love each other and take care of each other for our whole life. I think if you are not happy with your boyfriend, it's better to find the right one.

if you are not happy with the one you are with then what is the use of hanging on? do yourself and your boyfriend a favor, let go. don't you think it is unfair for the both of you? he deserves someone else, don't be selfish. ask yourself , do you find yourself holding hands tillyou grow old? can you just sit together and talk anything under the sun or just simply sit and do nothing with him? if the answer is no then it is time to move on. keep it simple , don't complicate things, let go of your ego for a while and think for yourself.

I believe we can sit together and talk anything under the sun, as you said, even if we are not allwais agree , maybe because of this we are looking for each other.But sometimes I feel is not enought or our expectations are far to high for each of us.

Looking for a soulmate is very difficult and it might take you a longtime searching for one. Only some lucky ones get it soon. But then staying in an unhappy relationship and trying to raise children from that marriage is equally foolish. When you cannot be happy, there is no point in having kids who will also suffer with you. Mentally you will not be strong enough to be able to look after and nurture them.. so please dear , if you want a family try and get a person whom you can at least respect and love even if you cannot find a soulmate. But you will have to accept what you have and try to be happy with that if it is getting too late for you. God bless you dear...

You deserve to be happy. You should not settle just because you don't want to be alone. Find someone who makes you appy and enjoy life. End the relationship with the current boyfriend who does not make you happy.

Don't stay in a relationship if you're not that happy at all. Do you see him as your partner forever? If not, you have to think about it and let him go, and enjoy life, meet people..Just focus on living life and having fun. Don't pressure yourself to find a soulmate and have a family. It'll just come along, I tell you.. Enjoy being single :-)

First and foremost if you are unhappy with your current boyfriend then dont stay with him. You dont want to stay in an unhappy relationship for the sake of being with someone.

I think to be happy is ever so important, I don't think you should ever marry someone that does not make you feel happy, once you do you clse the door to future happiness....I know what it is is like to be alone, I think it is best to try and find happiness without that depending on someone else....I wish you all the luck...

to be alone is one verry said thing, being depressive and to see no future.Where do I get some hope and power to move on in life?Sometimes I pray, but sometimes I feel it's not enought without a little luck anywhay.Thank you for the good wishes.

how old are you? I have the same situation as you before. I kinda lost my love for my Boyfriend. he is a good man, works hard too but i just dont see myself growing old with him. i was really unhappy and have lost interest in going out with him, chatting with him, etc i gathered up confidence and talked with him. i finally let it out. you know it felt really good that i am out of worry about my relationship with him. Maybe you too should start figuring this out. do you still love him? if your answer is no then do not waste anymore of your time, and his too. He needs to know and be out of the dark. suffer the consequences if it means you will be alone and single for now. you will find your true mate, your hearts desire when you stop looking and stop feeling unhappy. most of all pray to God that he gives you the man you are destined with. Goodluck!

yeah you shouldn't stay in an unhappy relationship at all. if you're not happy with your boyfriend, maybe you should talk to him about what's bothering you. maybe you guys can work something out. but if you're really unhappy and don't think that you want to spend your life with him or if you think he's not right for you- it's best to end the relationship before you hurt yourself or your boyfriend further. anyway the choice is up to you. hope you find the happiness that you're looking for

First of all if you're not happy with your BF then dump him and be grateful you're not married to him. It's harder to leave once the BF is your husband. Much more involved issues. When my now husband came along I was 31 I felt he was the one I'd been waiting for all those years. We married 2 years later and when I was 35 we had our son, a true gift from God. Now 13 years old. I love him so much. But the man that I fell in love with 15 years ago is not the same loving devoted man he was when I married him. He is now preoccupied with everyone else but me and he also gets drunk just about everyday. Now I'm wishing I were single again just me and my son. So, my soul mate only lasted 15 years. You just can't predict what the future is going to be like by what you feel today. People change. Mostly it's the woman that grows in maturity the man stays the immature baby he's always been and that's where the conflict starts. I do hope you find true love. Just don't settle for an addict of any kind they'll cause you trouble for sure.

Being a single through out life is horrible. No body can find pleasure in loneliness for long. For a man or woman a life partner is a must. This is my humble opinion. But how many of us get 100% perfect pair? So We have to adjust ourselves to suit the convenience of the life partner,for which we have to develope tolerence. we can mend the quality of our spouse to a satisfactory level only by continued efforts. You assess whether you can change the habits of your boyfriend to suit your needs and if you are sucessful,select him OR find out a suitable person who loves you sincerely as your life partner.

It's an interesting ideea to develope tolerence, but how far must we do it?Hard to establish the limits.I think we both must suit our needs or we'll be two verry unhappy persons.Unfortunatelly some suitable persons doesn't loves us.Thanks, you have a realistic opinion, not humble.

If your not happy your gonna have to end it in the long run you are hurting not only yourself but him aswell.You also shouldn't look so hard men sense desperation and run away if it's meant to be it will happen you might met your soulmate in a grocery store or like me a pawnshop my fiance was once the owner of a pawnshop and it was not love but a definite attraction the moment we layed eyes on one another I knew I had to break up with my boyfriend at the time to be with him and I'm now engaged and have a beautiful 2 month old daughter with him. Don't give up hope

YOure right, why should you stay in an unhappy relationship?! and unless you let go of yourself from that relationship you will NEVER find the one that was meant for you..stop torturing yourself and let go..and wait patiently for who God has planned for you to be with forever..=)
