Things are great, but.. ? [relationship question]

[Daisy and Delilah]

This is a tough one, Rachel. It sounds like it might irritate him if you address it again. Trying to pull myself back and look at the fact that all people are different, it might be best to leave it alone.
When you say he's a very different guy, to me, it sounds like you are accepting him the way he is. That is probably a good thing, knowing how you feel about him. It might be impossible for him to say those words to anybody(to you or his family). Somehow, I can understand this.

I know you've been waiting for this for a very long time. I believe Mike really does love you and you mean the world to him. If you can, try to believe that in your heart and leave it be for fear of causing conflict. One day, I think Mike will come around. He knows you're waiting for him but it's just too difficult for him right now.

Forgive me if I should already know this answer but, are you moving with the family when they come to Florida? What are you and Mike planning together for the move?

You know I always wish you both the very best.

Thank you! It's odd, he's committed to me, but yet can't really talk about relationships, something about it makes him uncomfortable. He doesn't get irritated, more uncomfortable about it. You would think he'd be open after almost three years. I don't know. I guess I am gonna drop it and leave it alone. I don't know yet about FL, I may move, I'm not sure because Mike isn't really helping me out here. I do have at least a year or so to figure this out, though. I know in my hear the does love me, and that's all I know as of right now. I know that I have already accepted him for who he is, but I do hope he will come around eventually and surprise me one of these days. So, whatever happens, happens.

Thanks everyone, I have taken my time to read each of your posts, and I just had my own thinking session about it, and you know, you all have a point. I know how I feel, I know how he feels, everyone is different on how they are in their relationships. I appreciate it!
