Freaked out by the future: My BF is planning way too far ahead
I
really like my BF, but he’s making all these plans—like when we
will get married and how many kids we’ll have. I hate it! Can I
nicely tell him to stop, or do I have to break up?
Dave: He
likes to look ahead, huh? Maybe you should go out with your friends
next Friday while your BF figures out his retirement plan. Try
responding the exact opposite of how he probably anticipates. If he
wants city living, tell him you want to be in the Outback. No matter
how he interprets this—as the remote region of Australia, a
steakhouse chain or an all-terrain Subaru—perhaps he’ll stop
making long-range plans with you.
Bill:
Tell your BF it would be nice to have your driver’s license before
you start making wedding plans. Ask him his goals for the next few
years (graduating high school, attending college). Point out that
you’re both likely to change and grow during that time. If he
really cares about you, he’ll slow the pace.
