Is there anyone here who can tell me if it has the potential to be long term? I really love my current guy, and can see him in my future. But of course I don't know if he sees me in his. He is more of a "now" kind of person. Doesn't really contemplate the future. Plus he was really hurt by his ex-wife. I don't want major details, just if my relationship has the possibility of lasting a long time.
Maybe I should be a bit more clearer/specific (though I didn't think you wanted a long-winded response) Potential for long term relationships are based on a foundation of trust, security and love Love is a two way / mutual understanding / coming together of mind and soul. This respect is earned through actions and not just words. It may be that you care and wish for a future with him, though he has to be just as commited. The betrayal of a former partner cuts deep and one naturally build mental (and commitment) barriers 'Living 'for the now' is a philosophy of detatchment that often comes with those so hurt. My meaning was:- To be with him, of enjoying the moment, may show a williness of embracement and that you are on his wavelength. Time will tell, though together with a stability of foundation that can be built upon and longevity will follow - It is that which is possible
I'm sorry I wasn't clear either. I just meant I didn't want specifically what will happen between us. detailed is fine. I understand now.
