[quote=ThatBetch]I had this feeling about my "good guy" spouse before we were married. I ignored it, because he was "such a good guy". I ignored his crap behavior for nearly a decade after we married, because he was "such a good guy." We're separated now, with 2 kids in the mix. I wish I'd listened to my gut.

OP, he may indeed be a good guy, but that doesn't mean he's right for you. And while he may be totally cool with doing his own restricted/regimented thing while you do your free-spirit thing, that kind of diametrically-opposed personality clash is likely to cause problems for you down the line.

You say you're "getting closer to engagement". Umm, I don't know what that means, exactly, but it sounds like you have some time to sort this out. Maybe you just have cold feet about the idea of marriage? Maybe you and this guy ought to talk about what you expect from a marriage/married relationship, and how that would play out with your different personalities.

Don't ignore your gut, though. It may not be telling you "run away" but it's trying to tell you something. Take some time and get clear on how you feel.[/quote]
