Love Or Comfort
Posted: 01-05-04 21:58pm

I have been dating this girl for 4 years. Two months ago I got engaged. One of the reasons I did it was because it was time, not necessarily because I was ready. I always fantasize about being single again and about dating other girls.However I will then think about some of the things I love about this girl,and I cant think of not having that in my life. Is it me just being a typical male always looking at the menu or is there a serious missing link in this relationship. Confused

Well I think you should get it all out of your system before its too late. It is good to settle down, but you should not marry if you have even one thought that maybe "not yet". You dont want to go on the next 5+ years always thinking, what have I missed out on? Then it will lead to divorce because you want out. Make sure its what you want to do. Not just because "it was time" thats never a reason to get married. You marry because she is the one you can spend the rest of your life with. Last person you will have sex with, the person who will have your kids and you will wake up next to her for the rest of your life. Make it work. Only you know if you want to be married or want to be single for a while longer. You need to feel like "ive done it all, now its time to settle down" please think very hard about this. It is a big decision in your life.

Have you(actually either of you) ever travelled ever had time away from each other, time to sow some wild oats, time to see if you really miss each other, time to see who you are as opposed to who you think you are or are supposed to be???????????? Confused

Don't worry...Everyone goes through this...But you have already answered your question. You think about all the things you love about her. This is perfectly normal. Stick with your relationship...It sounds like you really love her.
