Do not ever, under any circumstances, act like something is ok when it’s not. Don’t let this problem overshadow the whole relationship, because he will be at a loss if you are unhappy with him when he just needs to sort things out. I think now is not the time for an ultimatum. You need to share your feelings, not from a place of anger, but from a place of caring about him and supporting him to make the best decisions for himself. He might be feeling somewhat torn, so just tell him that you realize that might be a possibility and you understand. Then ask him what he needs. Give him space to tell his side of things if he feels ready to, and try to show him that you appreciate his struggles even though you are confused. You can do this without covering up your feelings.
Boundaries are so important. You may need to define yours, or at least make sure he knows that he is overstepping your boundaries and why it matters to you. Just make sure it comes from a place of wanting the best for the person.

I think she means something that’s not a cliche date activity, but not too zany and you don’t have make a big fuss out of it. It sounds like she wants to give you the chance to show off your imagination a little–or maybe she enjoys being surprised.
Believe it or not, she’s trying not to stress you out.

Happy Birthday!!! I kind of panicked about it for a while when I turned 30, too. I decided to throw myself a last-day-of-being-29 party, and I spent the day wandering around some favorite spots and thinking about my 20’s, to say goodbye to them properly. I had some rough years in there, so I was really looking forward to my 30’s. The more I thought about it, the more I was ready to be just what I was–thirty! I gave my twenties a long and fond goodbye, counted down, called my best friend and said “Hello, thirty!!” at midnight on my birthday. A thirty-year old has so much that many older people wish they could have back. Don’t waste time being unhappy with the age you are. When I’m 80, I hope I can enjoy my age and not waste time wishing I was younger. By then I bet I won’t care. So why bother caring about it at thirty?

Hi, I’m not pregnant, but I think you’re really brave! My friend was born when his mom was 16, and I’m so grateful to her, because he is a great guy. - written 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Be adventurous and passionate about the things you like, don’t apologize for being yourself, and don’t take it personally if your family hurts your feelings or misjudges you. That is VERY impressive! And tough.
I think this is a great question. - written 2 months, 2 weeks ago
I know someone who got out. :) I know she is traumatized because she was the only one in her office to make it - she was on the 97th floor, and she caught an express elevator and walked out just as the second plane hit her tower. Pray for Kelly and her husband - he nearly died on a subway car that was passing under the towers, but there was a power failure. - written 2 months, 3 weeks ago
