Love Bytes with Cybelle: We Want Different Levels of Commitment – What Now?

📍 Location: Solomon Islands
👨 Writer: 27-year-old man

Dear Cybelle,

I’ve been with my girlfriend for over two years, and I’m ready to settle down. But she’s made it clear she’s not interested in marriage—maybe ever.

We love each other, but I’m starting to feel like we’re walking toward different futures. I don’t want to pressure her, but I also can’t ignore what I want for my life.

Do I wait and hope she changes, or do I walk away now before it hurts even more?

Sincerely,
Ready in Honiara

Dear Ready in Honiara,

Two people can love each other deeply and still want entirely different futures. That doesn’t make either of you wrong—but it does make your situation hard.

You deserve the life you want—and so does she. Waiting around hoping she’ll change might only lead to resentment.

Talk honestly. If your visions can’t meet in the middle, it may be time to let love go… before it starts to feel like a chain instead of a choice.

Cybelle
