Dear Abby: Man refuses to take 4-year relationship to the next level

Even if he would agree to live together now, I don’t want to move to his city because my kids need to be close to their school, their friends and their father. Brent doesn’t want to relocate because my town is heavily populated and he thinks it’s geared more toward a younger generation.

I really would like to take our relationship to the next level. I have been trying to do it for four years, but he ignores my subtle hints. I can’t imagine life without him. I have even considered getting pregnant to make this relationship go further, in spite of knowing he doesn’t want a baby. Advice? — GETTING DESPERATE IN THE HEARTLAND
