[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are you? If 25, she’s being unreasonable. If she’s 30x she’s being a bit pushy but not crazy. If 35, she’s absolutely right. [/quote]

OP here. She’s 31 and I’m 35. [/quote]

There's your answer dude. Women aren't dumb. She doesn't want to waste her time if you don't want to get married.

If you want to hang onto this relationship I'd suggest individual therapy for you and then couples therapy. You're 35, you've been dating a year. Being married a year from now is not "Rushing things." Stop being a man baby and figure it out.[/quote]

Yes, I think OP is on a different timer and all the buzzers going off around her don’t help. While I agree that at 35 you should know yourself well enough to identify a partner without fear, I don’t think anyone should rush into marriage, it truly has to be something both people want. But I do think that a clear conversation about timing and no ambiguity would canoe space for a resolution. Right now OP has his assumptions and the GF has hers — communication is more important than anything in the long run, esp a marriage. There is no harm in the discussion; if nothing else they both learn how to articulate and engage on topics that may be uncomfortable. People that cannot understand each other and work to do that should not get married.[/quote]
