ready for marriage

Quote From: 2ndthought

    thanks for replying. the problem is that i dont think u and i are in the same boat b/c ur boyf is telling where he sees a future. mine cant. we dont have any kids. he tells me he has committment issues and doesnt want to feel trapped --- what guy who truly loves their gf would view marriage as being trapped?????????????? I know its only been 7 months but the bottom line is that he has told me all this stuff aoubt how he thinks i ma the one and wants me ot his wife etc etc but told me he just doesnt know when -- i told him he may never be ready if he has fears of being trapped.

well it is similar  

but not totally the same situation 

i have a 7yr old son and sometime he can be a handful  

it seems that when me and him are alone he tends to have a smart mouth and a problem obeying me  

when the 3 of us are together he is pretty good and doesn't do that

I am not sure if I am totally in your boat either.  My fiance says he wants to marry me and sees a future  and then his actions tell me otherwise.  He tells me what I want to hear even if it is not what he feels.  This keeps me confused all the time.  I guess if I were really honest with myself I would acknowlege that at the least, he is not ready for marriage right now.  At least your b/f is being honest with you.  He is not leaving any room for doubt.  I wish my fiance would say that to me.  I would explain to him that I don't want to "trap" anyone.  I want to be with him because we make each other happy so if he feels trapped we should part ways.   

I should do the same but I am the one who feels somewhat trapped.  I moved in with him in July.  My daughter was living with her dad but was having alot of trouble so she moved in with me a couple of months ago.  She had to change schools and she is doing much better here.  My fiance's daughter and her family live in my house because I am the dummy that suggested they could move there because they were financially struggling.  So if I leave him not only does his daughter have to move out of my house but I have to move my daughter back to the school district she didn't do so well in.  So I have decided to hang in there and have faith.  He is a very good man and we love each other very much.  We work on our relationship everyday.  I want to be married so badly but I suppose if I want him I have to be patient.  Which is not very easy for me.   

  

Look deep in your heart and be honest with yourself and you will find the answer but it might not be the answer you want to hear.
