So I've been dating someone since the summer of last year and I've reached that point where I am ready for a real committed relationship. We've had the conversation it wasnt the right time, but every time I've left him alone he's come back full force. Im not really happy with the way things are right now because Im ready for the next step and Im not sure if I want to have this exhausting conversation with him again and possibly end up hurt. I talked an advisor who in the past has been pretty accurate for me. He told me that the only way to get him to move forward is if he feels like I am going to walk away. Then he'll commit, but if I dont do anything, we'll stay where we are. I called this advisor again and it was a much harder conversation and I wish I didnt call him again. Im not sure if I should take the advice of the first reading or this one. This reading, he says, I need to talk to him let him tell me why he is where he is and why relationships have failed for him, and then go to bat for myself. Let him know why it wouldnt be this way if we were to take it to the next level. Having this kind of conversation it feels like I would be lowering myself. Here's why you should be with me....I just dont know if I want to do that.
I have no clue what to do now. Should I walk away like the first reading implied, or do I have this conversation, or do I just leave it be until I figure it out on my own. I have so much anxiety right now because the reading was a short time ago.
I thought this reading would be a continuation of the first, which was more comfortable and I felt empowered afterwards. This second reading was sooooo bad. I feel a bit defeated. He really let me have it. Has this happened to any of you? What do you all think I should do?
