And now I feel convinced he doesn’t want to move in with me… his place is a nightmare and it doesn’t seem to change anytime I visit… but he says he wants to clear things out so he can put the house on the market… I don’t see this happening… I feel disheartened.
I know he loves me, I can tell. I do too. But it just feels like at this rate we aren’t getting anywhere. it’s been 7 years now.
I’m sorry to hear that. Some men just need a kick in the pants to get their life together. I hope that’s all it is for you two.
I am confused. I thought you were planning on waiting 2 years before moving in together.
We were planning to wait 2 years before we got a dog
Oh, okay. Maybe he is hoping you will want to move into his place, instead of him moving into your place that already has a lot of people in it?
We have been planning to move to a new place. For that to happen he has to put his house on the market but doesn’t feel like he wants to.
If he’s a hoarder he might need help:

Yes I think he’s a hoarder but he’s not gonna admit it. I have no clue what else to do … I don’t know if my relationship is going anywhere. I’m staying cos I know he loves me and vice versa.
How long have you guys been together now?
Going on 7 years.
If I’m honest I don’t think I want to marry him anymore.
That’s a long time.
Sounds like he’s procrastinating any further commitments
He might not know there is help for it out there. People call it “Planting a seed” when you tell someone there is help.
“Planting a seed” means that once a person knows there is help, the idea grows over time, that they too can get help.
What do you want @anon25873142
I think our relationship will continue as it has been. But there will be no marriage. I dont want to lose him though … but maybe Ill try and suggest he can find someone else … It just feels he doesn’t want me.
I don’t know the reality
But if it were me I would be suspicious of him already having someone else in his life besides you.
I mean I don’t think that’s the case. He lives alone and his house looks like tip
Also I have met his parents quite frequently
Why do you want to get a new house? Sorry, I might be getting too technical. But the housing market is rough right now. Houses are currently selling for up to 3 times their actual value, and being fully sold within a week of going on the market. It could be that he is nervous about the prospect of selling his house before you guys find a new one, and then having to pay 3 times what that new one is actually worth.
