My boyfriend and I have been together 3 1/2 years, and I have always been the one to bring up marriage. He keeps saying he wants to wait. Well, last night my therapist and I went over a lot of stuff. I got home and realized that I need to work out some issues before I get married. So I told my boyfriend that I think that he is right, that we should wait, that I want to wait. He got all shocked and then very sad. He said he was sad all day at work today thinking about it. He never thought he would hear me say that. He came home and was extra sweet and loving, and it made me sad. I want us to make it, so does he, he said that he can't imagine living in this house without me, that if we ever broke up that he would never date again. I figured he's be relieved to have the pressure off. He got afraid that I was having doubts about us. I said I wasn't sure, that I have to get my issues straightened out before I can ever get married. Now I have made him sad and I feel really bad. Has anyone else gone through this confusion?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
You are doing the right thing getting your self together and he will respect and love you much more for that.
It sounds like your boyfriend loves you very much, and it is normal to feel sad when you have doubts about your relationship... (believe me, I am going through this NOW!). I can't stress enough that taking your time is never wrong. Rushing is bad! Good luck to you.
i felt the same as he does: that if my partner and i were to end, that i would not date again. i've held kept both the bargain, and the idea behind it: no one else begins to offer me what she did, and i will not settle for less, for the last year.
anyone know of any temple willing to train me as a monk so that i may take an official vow of celebacy?
As for waiting or not waiting only you can say. If he loves you and is going to walk by your side he will do so with or with out a peice of paper and that journey will be no different.
I wanted a wedding because I have abandonment issues. I realize now that the paper makes no differance... Ultimately we got married when we did because of taxes... we were already together for life...
Sounds like he plays on your emotions and that he isn't as confident as he wants you to think.
