I think his friend is just another excuse that feed my insecurity about the whole relationship. the good thing is that he is away for 25 days and does not matter what is going on with him, I have time to reconsider some stuff and take a break from lots of stress. who knows maybe after this gap btw us we become a diff person w new perspective of life and relationship
Awww it will get better. You need to stop and get yourself together. Any man that doesn't call me his gf out in the open is not the man for me. He should want you. Maybe you need to find someone who actually cares more for you. And willing to make it work.

Your answer here will reveal how screwed you really are. If you are then yes you are screwed. Unless you have a family you can turn to if u ever leave him or at least some of your own money and be able to get a job to support yourself.

Personally I always make sure I won't ever be financially dependent on a guy even if we are married. Shi-t happens and I want to make sure I will be okay and be able to stand on my own if the relationship/marriage did not work out.

Then prepare for 25 days and leave.

There are so many valiant crocodiles in the world. Don't waste your life with a man who will not even get you an engagement ring after 3 years.

It does happen that someone will get a crush on somebody, but just isn't the somebody's type. However, the fact that she's flying all the way over to the States for a conference he's attending, AND that HE CONTACTED HER about an upcoming trip to Europe makes the whole "she's not my type" story very iffy. If she weren't his type, he wouldn't be making plans to see her on his trip to Europe. Even if he didn't have any gf/bf -type interest in her, he shouldn't be leading her on by emailing her and making plans to see her. Maybe while he's away in Europe, you can just move out and move on. Get a new cell number and just disappear. The shock when he comes back will be good for him, it'll make him think.

The fact that he doesn't say on his fb page that he's in a relationship, and makes excuses to you about why he doesn't consider that what you and he have is a "relationship" (if it's not, then what is it??) is a red flag. Move on to someone who will appreciate you more and who won't play games. And who would be thrilled to put you on their fb page!

The scary thing is 95% of the time, the "other woman" doesn't look as good as the person the man is with

If she keeps bugging him about this other woman - she's going to push him right into other woman's arms. If he's not there already..

It doesn't matter what he thinks or how he thinks at this point. The OP is right that the time away from this guy is a gift. 3 years and he's making excuses for not being open about the relationship, and blaming you for it? No ring after all this time is bad enough, but the posing as single is just ridiculous and disrespectful. It's not paper this guy doesn't believe in, it's honesty and commitment. Ending relationships can be painful, but the pain is temporary. The pain of being in a relationship with a dishonorable person lasts as long as the relationship. Move out and move on.

Ugh. What a shame.

Sounds like you're relationship is going to end if he keeps this up.
