The "M" word

Im going to keep it short and simple. I said the "m" wrd too early in the relationship and my boyfriend said that im clingy. Should I just kiss the relationship goodbye, or is there something that I can do to save the relationship?

you are a girl....we think about stuff like that all the time!
the difference is how you feel about it. are you ready for marriage right now? do you really know this guy and can you see a future with him? How long are you willing to wait for the proposal and do you think he will be ready then too????
Many of my friends were married last year so my BF thought I wanted to get married too and expressed this to me...now don't get me wrong sure I think about it but I told him this....if i wanted to get married I wouldn't be with you. He was shocked! But it was true!
He's 22 and I'm 25. He is in no way ready for marriage. He's still to caught up in what his friends are doing. He's not financially secure and still has things he wants to do!
On the other hand I who am 25 still am not ready for marriage either. While I am financially secure I am not happy with my job and no that it's not what I want. I want to go back to school and get my master's degree so although yes I think about marriage I'm not ready for it either!
Take a look at what you want right now? Are you ready for marriage or just said it in conversation. My BF was freaked out about this too but I set the record straight.
If you are not ready just let him know that and don't end your relationship over it!
Hope this helps!
