[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been in a long distance relationship for 7 years. I’m peacefully co-parenting a teen with my ex; BF’s peacefully co-parenting a tween with his. We connect everyday and meet whenever schedules and budgets permit, but our primary focus has been (rightfully) on our respective kids and careers.

I’m happy with the status quo and would love to continue like this indefinitely, but BF says he wants to marry (or at least live together) after both kids are off to school. As much as I adore him, I take his claim with a large grain of salt, as that’s still 5 years away, and who knows how we will feel or what our situations will be like at that point.

Now that my own DC is approaching college, BF has been stepping up the “future” talks. I’ve been candid with him about my desire to just let our relationship ride, but he’s convinced he’ll persuade me by the time his DC is launched as well - and to be fair, maybe he will, but I kind of doubt it. I like being (relatively) independent!

No *ssholes here, right? Hoping for DCUM to reassure me I’m being fair to BF and not leading him on![/quote]
