Boyfriend won't commit after ten years of being together, woman thinks it's time to move on: 'I’m putting my life on hold for someone who isn’t willing to take the steps needed to move forward'

The invention of the situationship seems to be the downfall of our society as we know it. Sure, forms of the same "low-maintenance," anxiety-inducing relationship status have existed since the dawn of time, but it feels especially bleak that we've decided to put a name to it. Hasn't the wise mentor type in every dystopian story told us that giving it a name gives it power? Have we truly learned nothing?! Ugh. Where was I? Ah, yes. Situationship. 

A situationship is that sort of thing when you and the person you're seeing won't commit to each other or put a label on it, but you're definitely more than just friends. For some people, maybe this works for them. But 9 times out of 10, one person usually wants to change the relationship status, but they're bending to the will of the other person in fear that they'd lose them. Devastating and life-altering, to say the least.

One woman felt that the status of her decade-long relationship was never going to change, so she came to the internet for help. Do you think there's still something salvageable here, or is it just as simple as her partner is just not that into her?
