Honest advice please

Ive been in a long distance relationship for 4 and half years now, with me living in manchester and him living in london. We where friends before we got together and gradually fell in love with each other. he proposed to be when we first got together but as i was only 17 i said no as i was too yooung and told him the time was not right yet. He is 8 years older then him and for the first 3 years weve had a fantastic relationship. We meet each other when ever we can and we always use to be in touch 3 or 4 times aday everyday.

Lately things have become disatance between us, i still love very much and he says he feels the same and when mentioning about getting married he goes that he cant as i am not compatible with his family but he doesnt give me a stright answer if he wants to marry me. He did at one point and avoids the question now.

These days he hardly has time for me and the communication has turn quiet. I miss him alot and dont know why he is distancing himself towards me and why he cant be asked to come up north to visit me.

However when i get him on a very good mood, he is so romantic and where like how we use to be. theres no doubt that when we do see each other hes all over me and doesnt leave me alone for a second.

I know that his family is being an arse as he lives with his stepmother, who brought him up and his half sibling. His younger brother then him is married and i don't know why he keeps avoiding the marriage subject and why he doesnt end the relationship with me as call be dumb but i love him too much to break up with him.

Please help

"honest advice please

moving on is always a very hard thing to do but you will realize that in theend you will be better for it, and feel better about yourself.

Move on

I agree I think you should move on with your life, How come all of a sudden he is worrying about thehis family an you not getting along o me I would lie at his lke a sign if him trying to tell you he doesn't want to makea future with you, but he doesn't know how totell you with out hurting your feelings. And you also said he is older than you so maybe he has found sme one who is closer to his age that his famly gets along with.

Move on please. leave him behind.

Hi. I think you should really consider moving on in your life and leave him behind. He does not want to marry you and I am not sure why you are missing the point.
Love has to be a two-way traffic, and if it is not, like in your case, it is not going to work. Please find yourself another person and let me assure you that as soon as you turn your mind away from this guy you will notice that there are many guys who are better than him.
