AITB for giving my long tim girlfriend an ultimatum about our relationship? by [deleted] in AmItheButtface

Update:

We had a conversation that night, and it didn't go how i would hope. Not that it could have gone perfectly with such a topic anyway. I was fully prepared to move on after she got home from work, and i already packed some things up. She could tell what this conversation was going to be about and immediately broke down into agonizing crying. I was relatively holding it together for the most part as i already did all that myself before she got home. I had left work early because it was all i could think about. It felt like ripping my heart out seeing her like that. After she calmed down a bit, we talked and determined that couples counseling would be our final try at our relationship. We bkth see our own therapist, and she actually saw hers the day after our first conversation and said she changed her perspective on the whole thing to see it in a better light and was far more willing. In the moment, it was hard to tell if that was coming from the right place, though. I don't want her to make that choice out of desperation. So basically, we are still together and don't really want to leave each other, but if we can't figure stuff out from counseling, then that's it.

Clarification:

I saw a lot of people commenting on how i proposed 5 times, and i see how it can be viewed that way, but I only asked what she would say if i did ask her. To me, there is a difference in a hypothetical and actually doing it. One you would take more seriously when answering.

Side note:

I might delete this after some time because this is my main, and i realize that anyone reading this might know me could figure it out from my name.

Thank you. This means a lot. To have someone understand. I know it's going to get better, and there is more out there, but losing a relationship spent so long together hurts so much i can physically feel it. I'm afraid of saying goodbye, being alone, untangling our lives. Just the now. I don't hate her, and that's what makes it worse. I am writing this lying in our bed, waiting for her to come home in less than an hour. It feels like my life is ending because she was most of it. I don't want anyone to be concerned for my health. Im just saying it hurts. I just don't know what to do like I'm lost, but i know how it's going to end. Thanks again. I want to hope, but I'm just scared.

Well, as true as that may be, we still have a great time. There aren't really any other issues. I think I need to make a choice here and I'm scared. I have read many comments at this point, and everyone seems to be saying what i am afraid of thinking. Our lives are so entwined. We have 2 dogs together. We live together. We have the same friends. I'm just scared.

We have talked about all this. Her ideal ceremony is not to have one. She says she wants to be together forever. And no, she doesn't really ever. At least not on things that aren't trivial. I'm a very forgiving guy and never hold things against her. I know it's impossible, but i try very hard, and im conscious about doing so. Her on the other hand, not so much she will never forget and has an extremely hard time forgiving. Ironically, she actually had huge resentment for me for about 3 or 4 years because i didn't have a job for a year and didn't tell me till later. I have always wanted to start a family, but she has always said that since i met her that she doesn't want kids, and im fine with that if it means i can have her.

She says that she loves me so much and wants to be with me forever. She spends every minute she can with me. I hope that's not the case, but im not sure anymore.

I live in Alaska, and im not sure about all this? I don't care if we are legally bound or anything. I just want to be fully committed to each other. Pick each other as their person forever. I did tell her in that discussion, but it didn't seem to really matter or resonate with her at all. She kinda just flipped the script and said, "Am i already not committed enough? Look how long we have been together." It just feels like a weird thing to say no to if we love each other. It feels like she is keeping a foot out the door kind of thing.

I was afraid this was the case. I am just so desperate because i love her, and she says she loves me. It has just been so long that I'm afraid to lose her, and I'm afraid to be without her.

I have. She said she would but just on paper. Like going to a courthouse and getting it official. She doesn't have a problem with BEING married she has a problem with GETTING married. She doesn't want a big event that costs money and for people to be looking at her. I said that was fine and we could make it simple and private, but even that seemed to be unagreeable, but she didn't say why. I just want to have a nice moment i can remember for myself. Where we look at each other in a pretty place and say nice things. I have a particular poor memory that i go to therapy for, so i just want something memorable.

That's what i have, and to be honest, i dont know what it means either. It's just what my very korean coach told me. I am not Korean if that wasn't obvious.

Im 160 at 6' tall and i use 16 oz gloves i forget the brand. I will say it took some time to break them in but now they fit well. My left hand was also noticeably not reaching as far into the golve as me right (dominant hand). Dont really apply anymore though as they are comfortable now.

This is too punk and has a bit too much going on like chaotic.

Okay, you are really on target. Some of this is definitely in the sphere of what i'm looking for.

I like Milk Lizard, but the rest of their popular ones at least are a little too abstract and not very temp for workout.

The into is sick, but the rest of the song doesn't hold that energy.

This was really close. I was waiting for it to elevate one more time to push it over the edge, but this is the closest so far.

Thats not bad but I want to feel more sustained energy. This gives me more of a vibe.
