[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like she wants to live together and have a lifelong commitment. And you don't. And that's okay! But she may break up with you over it. She may think it's wasteful to have two houses when you could have one. She sees that your kids will soon be off to college so she wouldn't have to deal with them much. She wants someone to be a mutual partner as she (and you) get older and have more health issues, otherwise the caregiving workload falls to adult children which can be very hard as they start having young kids of their own. Think about this-- do you want your kids to be your two primary caregivers if something happens with your health? Or would you like to have a wife/girlfriend to do it?

It's possible she always wanted this and was just telling you what you wanted to hear earlier. But I suspect her daughter launching to college is a turning point for her. Now that her daughter would not have to move in with you and your kids, and your girlfriend has more free time to think about her own life, she's reconsidering what she wants and your preferred dating relationship may not be what your girlfriend wants as an empty nester.
