Dear LFTP: the boyfriend with commitment issues
- How can I get my boyfriend to see that we are meant to be?
The host hands the Dear LFTP letters to Mike to read. The first letter is from a 29-year-old whose 36-year-old boyfriend of three years broke up with her two months ago, saying he could not marry her, while insisting she is his soulmate and dream come true; she came out of an abusive marriage and believes God put him in her life. The hosts' verdict is blunt: he does not have commitment issues, he just does not want to be married to her — actions speak, and at 36 there is nothing she can do to make him see it. Secular's answer agrees she should get counseling to avoid repeating the pattern.
