I’ve been with my man for 5 years. I love him so much. He decided to move back home to pursue his career and against my better judgment, I agreed. I only agreed because he said he would come back in six months. The six months has become 2 years. We see each other all the time, but that wasn’t the agreement. He has given numerous dates that he would come back but every time the date comes, something happens where he feels it has pushed him further away from his goal. So I got a transfer with my job to be closer to him, and the closest I could get was three and half hours away. When we found out that I would be in the same state, he promised me once again that he would move here with me. A month before my transfer he said this wasn’t a good time. He feels like his hometown is the place for his career.

He says he is grinding trying to make life better for us in the future. I am concerned that soon we won’t have a future. We have a child together and I want to be with the father of my child, but he is making it really hard to make that a reality. I have been there for him in every way possible. I’ve been a good woman. I feel like I have been strung along like a donkey with a carrot. I don’t want to ask him to give up his dreams, but I have made sacrifices for this relationship and I feel it is his turn. I have given him his ring back and told him not to visit until he comes for good. I know a good woman is there through the good and bad but I am sick of being alone…..Can you give me some advice on what to do.
