Hi all,

it is just something that scare me.. last night i and my fiance went out with our friends (another couple) to a restaurant that have a very good fortune teller.. i don't usually go to see fortune teller much but this girl (the girlfriend of my fiance's friend) is saying that at this restuarant.. this man is very good and said that she used to invite him all the time to her and her friends party. anyway, i decide to give it a try.. planned to only ask about career path and things involve it and nothing about marry or soulmate because i knew that i am getting marry to the man who i love very much the end of this year.

anyway, he predicts about my career and stuff but sometime between that he said something about marriage like oh by the way the best age for me to get marry is 31-32 something like that and I am now 25. He said tat anyway "stick to the ring"(he saw my engagement ring).. so it wa all alright but

i just can't help to worry about the age he mentioned.. I am getting marry in December with this man, my fiance' who i care for and would love to spend the rest of my life with him.. I come from a divorce family and i don't want to end up like my mother and father marriage. so so so anyway, so here i am couldn't sleep after got back and yep, just wonder what you all think about these thing?

another night that couldn't sleep!

thanks
Kathy

How does that saying go? "I think - therefore I'm a sceptic"

People also say that my sister in law is a great tarot card reader - and many people make return visits to her. But none of her readings have ever come true for me LOL. It's just a silly bit of fun. And I'd never part with $$$ to get a reading done.

I suppose that my only question to you is: why do you believe any of what was said? If you were 100% sure that your fiance is the one for you, surely you would have dismissed the reading as rubbish. While I don't believe in fortune telling, perhaps he has raised some hidden concerns that you have???

I agree that "fortune tellers" are nothing but fun. And that you really shouldn't take anything they say seriously. I understand that he hit a nerve with you and now you are wondering if you are getting married too young and you don't want to end up divorced, etc. But think about it for a minute. I know you said you are 25, did he know how old you are? Could be that he saw the ring, guessed close to what your age was and tacked on a year or two, and figured that WOULD put you at 31-32. I've always looked old for my age and anyone wanting to figure it out would have guessed me too high. What with all the super long engagments out there....

Besides, if he were so good, wouldn't he have a better job? ;)

I'm kind of confused, Kathy, you've faced a lot of problems in your relationship and have had plenty of reason for concern and doubt:
Should I compare V-gifts?

I went to one who told me that I would marry at the age of 38--and that was almost 6 years ago and I'm still single (by choice...) I had another one who told me I would meet and marry my husband in California and I'm in New Jersey now.

If you want to be sure that you are marrying a man you are compatible with on many levels, then it would be wise to go for couples counselling so that you can iron out issues before you're locked down in a marriage to someone it will take legal rulings to get away from. That is the best thing you can do and it's better advice than a fortune teller will give you.

He mentioned the ring thing because he saw your ring after he threw the cards.

katvanita,

I wouldn't believe anything that a fortune teller would tell me. If I'm truly in love with my fiance and happy I wouldn't turn to a fortune teller to tell me that I shouldn't marry him when I was planning to. I think that you may have some doubts about getting married though and that's why your highly considering the thought that maybe you should believe this fortune teller.

A reading is like a snapshot of your life at this moment. You can change that 'picture' at any time based on your own free will. I will also say 'there is no time on the other side' so 31-32 could be hours, days, weeks, months or years.

Follow your heart and do what you feel is best for you.

PS after checking out the links that cl-2nd_life post - oh boy, maybe you should really, really consider the relationship you are in. I will also say that the comment after the reader saw the ring - could have been 'telling you what you want to hear' kind of thing.

I don't believe in fortune telling as anything more than fun. I believe in premonitions, telepathy, and things like that, but I don't believe that a person can just meet people and accurately predict the future or anything like that.
