What do I do if he wont talk about the future?

We have been together now for 3 years and I love him very much. The problem is I want some plans and I thought he did too at first. I want to grow and become way more then I am now and need him to support me as I need to him. We do have a 17 year age difference. Is that the problem? Im 30 and hes 47.

It sounds like he is affraid of true committement. It maybe due to the age difference, he is uncertain how he feels, he doesnt want to get married or sadly, he may have found someone else and cant tell you. Its hard to say why he wont, but in my opinion, you need to sit him down and ask right out, does he or doesnt he want to commit and then you can go on with your life. I hope things work out for you, but you can't go on without knowing because it sounds like its hurting and may cause some health issues

He is happy with things the way they are. If you want to build a future with someone you love, you should leave him if that is not in his plans at all.

without thinking . In any case very difficult to live with.

At the age of 47, it's possible that he's on mental cruise control. He's settling for things the way they are. All of those larger-than-life ambitions he had as recently as three years ago are beginning to sound like youthful folly. He has realized that he has a favorite recliner to fall asleep on. In some ways, he might be living his younger years through you. In his mind, the future is now. Am I getting warm yet? Some people let themselves get old at a relatively young age. Sometimes it's a pattern: did this happen to one or both of his parents? If so, you need to be willing to chase your dreams with hopes that he'll at least support you. Or, like him, you'll settle and look back with regret somewhere down the road. Tough choice either way.

I've waited till I was 30 to have a baby and get married. The reason is because I needed to find the right person. There were Almost perfect guys that lacked a few things here and there that I thought I could deal with that. Truth is I always knew deep down that when it was "the one" I would know. That's why it never worked out with any of the other guys. And that's why when I meet my future husband after the first date we spent everyday together since, moved in together after 3 months (even though i slept at his place every night before moving in, because we didn't want to be apart), made a baby together 4 months after that, and the month before our boy turned 1 we had our dream wedding.
My point is my dear, however you are feeling there is someone out there that feels exactly the same, you just have to find him. When you do find him you'll know because you wont have to force it, it will be very natural and hopefully you'll both be best friends. True love happens FAST and STRONG. Look in your heart and ask yourself "is he truly the one" not because you'd wish he would be the one. You may just find the answer you've been looking for just by listening to your heart.
If you still think he is it, than have a talk with him, tell him it's very important for him to listen and respond because your future depends on communication. If he still wont listen, be prepared to move on, make yourself a happy person and those will be the kind of people you attract. Find yourself a best friend to love, someone who will listen to you and has the same aspirations and level of communication. And if you believe than pray about it, and you'll get your answers.
God luck sweetheart...and remember don't sell yourself short!

Also...
Are you asking him to financially support you? If so that could be a reason he doesn't want to talk about things because he may want to avoid hurting your feelings. No one wants to be someones daddy and have to support a woman, UNLESS that is the type of guy they enjoying being and it's a conversation that has been decided in advance, like for the purpose of staying home with the children. Commitment is not 50/50 it's actually 100/100 you both have to be getting something out of the deal.

Yes, this is something I will tell you from the bottom of my heart, do not get involved with a man that is that much older than you, I tell you this through personal experience. His sex drive is not what it used to be, and your just really getting there.
