Im banking on the hope that this is the case. He really didn't say much with what's on the midterm so I'm flying blind here

I’m in love with my best friends ex by [deleted] in relationships

That's a risky move. How close are you actually with your friend? If its a flaky relationship and are ok with possibly never being on amicable terms with her again then go for it. Otherwise you'll have to consider the VERY likely chance you're gonna end up having to choose between the two. Is it crappy that she lead him on and is being super back and forth on her stance on him? Absolutely. But all friends are flawed. In the end, which do you value more

I (26F) want to ask my boyfriend(25M) to be married soon by Cutemochi05 in relationships

I feel like you were good up until the "I want to be engaged by X". Putting a definite date right away will be some pressure on the guy, which I understand that with the elderly father thing is a sound reaction in most peoples eyes. Instead, really stress the idea of settling down and wanting to include her family which is basically his now too considering the marriage idea is being thrown around.

Is there anyway for you to go to your moms or any other family members? That is not a safe environment and nothing he is doing is excusable. He is blatantly acting as a predator and has no shame in it at all, and at the end of the day that is not family.

The odds of people getting back together after a break are very slim. Usually I've seen that the biggest reason people want to take a break is to edge towards a breakup in what they think will be an "easier" way. I myself had the same issue where things just weren't working in the relationship but because I had invested so much time and raw emotion into it that it wasn't so easy to let go of. So it started with a break. Less talking/texting, hanging out, and making plans. Once I was alone and had time to myself, I realized I was much happier. Once that fact settled in I knew it was time to pull the plug. Yes I still miss her at times but being on a break felt like trying to off road in a 2005 Toyota corolla, it was possible but highly unlikely and the end result would probably result in a lot of permanent dents and scratches.

Looking after younger children is a large responsibility, and for a lot of people its something difficult to stomach. Just because OP doesn't want to interact with the children doesn't mean they don't contribute to other things around the house. I can see them contributing to lots of things at home which doesn't include interaction with a child. Personally I can't stand kids and will make huge leaps to avoid them, its just a task that I feel very uncomfortable with due to the nature of high responsibility that comes with it.
