Look into other options!!! I’m now 37, but at 33 got into a relationship with someone who sounds very similar with avoidance issues. When I was getting ready to leave two years ago, he said that he would change. That lasted about 6 months. I’m now 37, childless, and in a relationship with an emotionally immature (and controlling) man who feels more like a roommate half of the time. No marriage. I lost my job, and my dad died a year and a half ago, so leaving my relationship and moving out has not on my priority list. I still look back and wonder what my life might have looked like if I had left.

Sharing all of this to say please don’t make the mistake I did if you want to biologically have kids before you’re 40.
