Will he ever mature?
i am 25 and my boyfriend of 3 years is 32. I am a mature 25 year old, (I dont really go out, own a house, career as teacher) and I feel like my boyfriend still has a lot of growing up to do. He still feels the need to go to bars with his friends and stays until the bar closes. he gets home at 3 am and thinks there is nothing wrong with this. I let it go because he would think I was trying to keep him from being with his friends. He never opens up about his nights out unless I ask questions. We do live together and I feel like he will never grow up or grow out of that stage. I am also starting to think he is one of those guys that will never fully commit. (I do not doubt he is faithful) I think he wants the best of both worlds and that is why we are not engaged yet. He is not someone that is easy to talk to about his feelings or issues. He remains silent and will easily push me away for days.

Ok first of all, I used to be a teacher so I know how crappy it is when you can't go out during the week. Secondly, what the heck is he doing? He sounds like he is immature and wants to have his cake and eat it too. Please tell me you don't wake up and hang out with him when he comes home. If you do, then you're just reinforcing that it's okay for him to be going out until all hours and then come home because he still gets to hang out with you. Make him a nice dinner on the weekend, then go out and party with him. After you guys get home and you're nice and "happy" have the "Where is this going conversation". Hopefully he'll open up and tell you what he's thinking. Then it's up to you to decide what you want. Good luck!

What do you receive from the relationship other than a warm body in bed (at times)? To answer your question, "no", at 32 he's probably gone about as far as he ever go toward maturity. And, if he quits going to bars because his friends don't, you'll still have an immature person on your hands.

For being 32, he does sound pretty immature. It's one thing to go out with your boys every once in awhile, but if this is a frequent thing.. then you need to start thinking about your own future.
Maybe you need to really sit him down and have that talk with him about your future. At your age, you should not be wasting time with someone who doesn't want the same things in life that you do. He isn't a kid anymore. If you want to wait around for him to grow up then that is on you.. but it sounds to me that you guys don't see eye-to-eye on important issues.
I know it's hard to talk to a guy who isn't good at opening up, but you have to think.. if these issues are affecting you NOW, how do you think they will affect you once your married?

He will but it will take a long time, because little boys want to be big boys and big boys want to be little boys. Good luck
