Doormats Unite!

Dear Bitter Single Guy,

I've been living with my boyfriend for 4 years. He's 15 years older and left his wife for me. (I was his soul mate he said). I love him dearly but we've had our problems and 2 years ago I moved out. He cried, begged, and then proposed! Said he couldn't live without me!

So I moved back in but every time I bring up getting married, we argue. He will NEVER bring it up. He now says, "Some day, maybe when things are right." Now I'm 4 years into it and getting frustrated. Should I move on and quit wasting my time? Am I just the young midlife crisis girlie that is only good enough to cook and clean? HELP!!!!

Mid-Life Crisis Bimbo

Dear M.L.C.B., Wow! The Bitter Single Guy has to really hand it to your beau if he's managed to keep a mid-life crisis in full swing for 4 years!! Now THAT'S staying power! The B.S.G. realizes that you didn't come to him for that kind of response, so he'll get to the point.

The B.S.G. has to assume that the issues leading up to you fleeing the scene at 2 years are still there, but you could accept them if there were a wedding? (odd logic…perhaps the B.S.G. is missing something?) The B.S.G.'s first thought is that you should bail on this geezer since he's obviously stringing you along with the carrot of marriage (interesting pun there). But then the B.S.G.'s second thought is that if this venerable gentleman left his wife when he met you, he may be a bit shy about committing to commitment when it didn't work out the first time for him, eh?

Nope. As he writes this, the B.S.G. is leaning back toward his first impulse. Dump this grandpa.
