Relationship Should I Be Sad?

[Sandi79]

So after our failed attempt at living together, and starting fresh, my boyfriend and I are doing really well now. We have been sharing a lot more, which is a big deal for both of us. We communicate better, we agree on so many different subjects.. one being marriage.

Before, we wanted to get married. We had set a date, had ideas of the colors and reception and where it would be..But I don't want to get married anymore. To anyone. I shared this with my boyfriend, in a very kind way and told him that I don't want any kind of end to our relationship and marriage seems like an end. I told him if I did want to get married, it would be him. He told me he felt the same way. At first I felt sad, but why should I? We want the same thing.

What you absolutely do not want to do is get married for someone else's reasons. Marry because you want to and you really believe in it. Otherwise you will be nothing more than a statistic.

I love my marriage because it grows out of my wife whom I love even more.

You know how PTSD is a timing thing. You can't heal till your mind is ready to. Well marriage is a timing thing. Should your time come, you'll know it!
