Complicated relationship?

yes it can work out yall just need time alone and talk things over

Since he thinks the "complication" is a big deal and you don't then your realtionship won't work. both of you have to be in agreement on how the "complication" impacts your lives together and on how you will deal with it.

If you can both live w/ the "complication" and work around it then you'll be able to make your relationship work. If one of you can't abide, tolerate or otherwise ignore the "complication" for the sake of the relationship then you're relationship won't work.

and in your heart, you can be good together all you want--life always moves smoothly in fantasies and pipe dreams. It's in reality where you need to be good together for the relationship to work.

fwiw: your reactions to this "complication" indicate that you have a difference in values that make you incompatible for a long term relationship. He thinks for whatever reason this "complication" is a big deal and you don't and you've disregarded his concerns because it doesn't fit in w/ your fantasy of your relationship w/ him.

You have to deal w/ the reality of what you actually have rather than the possibilities of how it could be if you want to have a successful long term realtionship.

you've been so vague about what the "complication" is that I'm not able to give you more specific advice. I'm left to assume that the "complication" is a permanent fact of life or some sort of package deal that is not in your power to change or eliminate and isn't going away anytime soon, if ever. In which case this turns your "complication" into a lifestyle choice and it sounds like it's a lifestyle choice your partner isn't interested in.
