I'm afraid of getting married.
| Fri, 06-25-2004 - 2:48am |
I'm in my early 20's and am in a great relationship with a great guy. My problem is, I know he wants to marry me, and I am terrified. I have been married already and it fell apart after a year. I met my current guy within days of the split, and moved in with him not long after. I know I am not with him just because, I do love him, but I am terrified of making another commitement and having it end badly. He is very supportive and I know he will wait as long as he needs to but I am just scared. We have lived together for a year now. I feel like I am just sitting still, not moving towards anything. My first husband was emotionally distant and very controlling, nothing like my boyfriend. Now I feel like I have taken the roll my ex-husband played. Is is normal to be afraid of marriage after a bad divorce? What can I do to ease this un-ease?
