Goal Setting

Hello Everyone:

Well, I got a reply from the Sometime BF and it was a good one. He was quite honest about things from, his perspective. Breaking up is not in the immediate or semi-distant future. It would be a “if all else fails” option. I decided that I can work with him to make things work. I think we’re both incredibly frustrated with the current state of things: his mum is terminal and he wants to leave his job. My frustration is with life in general. What’s motivating is the real desire to have a reasonably normal life. Work and a loving stable relationship. Not too much to ask. Apparently the universe thinks I don’t deserve it. You know what?  Effe the universe. Anyway, The Sometime BF assures me that things should stable out in a few weeks. I hope that’s true. Truthfully, I’m enjoying my free time. I know he misses me and vice versa. I just want us to be a couple. To that end, I mentioned in my reply that one important thing we need to do is set goals for the relationship. Something to work towards. For me, that goal is marriage. I told the Sometime BF that keeping things open ended is not good. Really, I don’t want spend decades, like his sisters in law, waiting for him to propose. We’ve known each other long enough. I think that if we’re both serious about a real relationship, then we need to set goals.
