[quote=Anonymous]OP again. I really appreciate everyone's responses, even the harsh ones. The truth is, I have been in therapy for about a year and that is why I am at the point where 1) i know what I want in a relationship (commitment, marriage, kids, stability) 2) I see that he isn't ready for that challenge and 3) I'm now able to ask for what I want with a lot less fear.

I knew that if I worked on myself that there was a chance that he still wouldn't be ok or able to respond to my needs. I am just trying to accept that he hasn't done the work he needs to do on himself and I have done everything a partner could do as far as being supportive. I am working on my insecurity issues that come from my childhood, and am a lot better, but still improving on it.

I am proud of what I've accomplished and I don't want to take this relationship's breakdown as something that's my fault. I know and recognize now that it's not my fault, I am attempting to silence the lingering old self talk, which would say that I just wasn't enough. Again, thank you everyone and please keep adding thoughts if you have any. [/quote]
