Sacrificing myself for your love

Part of growing up is giving up things that make you hold onto your reckless youth, the items and bad habits that defined you as immature.

I'm currently on the path to becoming a proper girlfriend to a guy that, like all of the other men I've been in proper relationships with, is way more into me than I am into him.  However, it's a potential shot at getting married and having kids, so I'm sticking with it.  How else am I supposed to find someone willing to marry me?  I wouldn't be the first woman in the history of the world to settle massively just to get a husband and kids.

The real tragedy though is that I will have to give up Craigslist Guy.  I don't mind giving up my other fuck buddies, especially since I'm getting bored.  One I've only fucked twice, so that's easy enough, and the other is being too clingy, wanting to have "things" with me as if I'm his girlfriend (he didn't want that, so he doesn't get any perks).  But Craigslist Guy....

If we're still in contact by the end of July, that'll be 2 years, which is a long time.  It's already the longest, and admittedly healthiest, nonfriendship I've ever had.  Hell, it's more positive than some of my friendships.  However, I do have an emotional attachment to a certain extent to him in part because there is mutual trust and respect, and I'm more open and honest with him than with anyone else.  My friends that I've consulted (I'm a girl, we consult the tribe on every major decision) have said that I should just try dating him, but I don't think that's what Craigslist Guy wants.  He's already rejected another fuck buddy for wanting a relationship that he banged while he was screwing me.  It just blows, but he's coming up at the end of the month, so I can end things then...and grow up a bit.
