Today’s topic: Help, I Am Truly In Love Dr. Steve, I am 48 and been with my gentleman for about 9 years. I have my own place, which I have not slept in at all. I help him with his mother, taking her to the doctor and helping with breakfast, lunch and dinner because she is disabled. I don’t mind, I don’t like being alone and I love her. My mother is deceased, she died when she was 32. I am also disabled, I had a ruptured brain aneurysm and now suffer with seizures, but I am blessed to have a good friend and companion like I do. I am divorced and have 2 sons that live with their Dad. Ok, I want to ask him to marry me but am afraid he will say no. We don’t go out, he goes where he wants to, but we have good times. I am a very mushy, loving person. I love cards, bears, things like that, he is straight to the point. So, what am I supposed to do? I need help so very bad. I am not saying I need him around me all of the time, there are times when he does just what I like, but if I want a candlelit dinner and all that good stuff, it won’t happen. Steve, what can I do? Please help me, I am so afraid to ask him to marry me, I truly feel he will say no but I won’t know until I ask. What can I do?
