Hi all! 

So to start, my relationship appears to be amazing from the outside. Honestly, all my friends and family think we're made for each other, and they're not just saying so to be nice - they're incredibly vocal about it. 

My boyfriend is very loving and caring and we've had a good five year stint so far, and been living together for three. 

So the problem: I feel suffocated.  My boyfriend's sister had a baby about a year ago and it's brought on a massive feeling of suffocation. All our relatives and friends are asking when it'll be our turn and when we'll be getting married. Its very foolish of me, but I'd never seriously thought about children until recently, and suddenly feel like I now have no time to consider it. We have discussed it, but it always seemed so far into the future we didn't think about it seriously. Everyone expects me to have one sooner or later and won't seem to listen to me when I say I'm not sure. 

Now onto my problem with my so. I'm also beginning to feel suffocated in the relationship. I know it's been brought on by these outside opinions on our relationship, but it's really changed how I see him and I'm having a hard time changing my feelings back. His need for space is much much lower than mine and his need for affection is much higher than mine. So I always feel like I'm either being smothered or being a cold bitch. Whenever I've discussed the the future with him, I always feel like I'm being the negative one when what I'm trying to do is look at all the possibilities realistically and he doesn't seem to be taking things seriously enough.

If I broke up with him it would have a massive impact on our lives. All of our friends and family are incredibly close, so I want to try and get past this with him. 

We live in a fairly remote area of Denver so couples counselling is a possible, but fairly difficult option. Thankyou so much for reading!
