I do love him, but I don’t want this to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Please give me some advice. To move or not to move in Indiana DEAR MOVE OR NOT — You do need advice — and here it is:

Your woman’s intuition is telling you this isn’t right, and that your boyfriend can’t be trusted to fulfill his part of the bargain.

A man who doesn’t make you feel special, wanted or important would make a very poor husband.
