So this morning my lovely boyfriend ended it with me. He says he thinks that for now we should end it. I was his first real relationship. I'm 29, he's 23, so this is a lot for him to handle. I have 2 kids from a previous relationship with a guy he was kind of friends with for a short period of time. (i know shame on us, but you can't help who you fall in love with and the other guy was abusive)
He always was adamant he didn't want kids, but starting coming around. He's not sure that he will feel the same down the road. He says he wants to make sure he's not making a mistake by staying with me and then end up resenting me and he also doesn't want to lose me and have that be his mistake. He says this is hard on him because he truly loves me and I'm perfect outside of baggage that I carry(family drama, not kids, although he says he doesn't think he's ready for them either)
I understand the fear of only having one relationship under your belt, as someone afraid of commitment I was like this, except when I left there was no love between exes. Here there still is. He says if he comes back it will be forever, but he wants time to find himself and doesn't feel he can with me there.
The thing is I don't know if I want to wait for him. I know I won't find anyone like him again, he shares all my kinks and it is a weird combo of kinks. He's bisexual and a crossdresser and I find that very attractive in a man. I won't compromise on any of those for anyone. I don't want to have a bland sex life and I've never found anyone that synced up to me like this and was 100% open and comfortable with.
Should I hope for the best? Has anyone been in the same situation? I sometimes read about people that dated and split up because they weren't in the right place in their lives and then later on got back together for good. I want that, but I don't want to be disillusioned at the same time.
