[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are you two?

Why do you feel like you’re not ready to make a life long commitment? Is it something about her, or something about commitment?[/quote]

OP here. I’m in love with and see a future with her. I’ve never thought about marrying a woman before I met her. It’s still just scary because [b]my family doesn’t believe in divor[/b]ce and it’s a lifelong commitment. I don’t feel like there is a rush when it’s a decision that can determine the rest of your life. [/quote]

That's baloney.  You shouldn't get married because you  need to get away from your controlling family. Seek therapy because you are too enmeshed.[/quote]

OP here. I’m a catholic. They are not controlling. Many people don’t take marriage seriously but I do. Too many people get married with the idea they can just divorce in 10 or 20 years. That’s not what I want for my life or my future kids. They deserve a two parent household with happy parents. [/quote]

OP, I also don’t believe in divorce. DH and I took dating seriously. Go to therapy for yourself and/or couples counseling. The more therapy you do before you get engaged, the more it will pay off during your marriage. If therapy breaks you up, you are never meant to be together. It also signals to your girlfriend that you’re not stringing her along. You’re contemplating something serious. [/quote]

You keep saying this OP but I really don’t get it.  I’m religious too, and we got married at 25/26.  Also from families that don’t divorce, and we’ve been married 20 years.  This seems like a lot of excuses on your end.  It’s been a year.  You are 35.  You should know by now if she is the one, and dragging it out is really unfair to her and if she is the one for you, for you too.  Your family is pressuring you for a reason.[/quote]
