...always ditches me for his family/beer i moved back to this little town because he didn't want to leave here (or should i say his mom doesn't want him to move father away from her.) and if i ask to do something like going to the pool, or shopping, or get out to the city, he wont. if his family asks him, he is there in the drop of a hat. he tells me he loves me and that he wants to be with me forever, but its been three years, and i've altered my life more than i can count to make him comfortable, but he isn't changing. i'm thinking i should just leave him. all he says is that im trying to controle him, but he makes me feel like i'm a toy on a shelf that is waiting to be used. should i leave him, or is there some other way to get thru to him on how i feel?
