You won't though. You'll go through with it and in 10 years wonder why you're miserable.


The OP got the best advice with the very first reply.

Me and my girl started seeing each other at 17 and 18 years old, respectively. We had been friends for about a year or two before that. We moved in together almost immediately. Lived together unmarried for maybe 12 years or so. Got married to save money on taxes.

Everybody would always ask us why were werent married and we would always give them the same answer. Theres no real reason to. If you love each other and youre committed then whats the point? All marriage does is make it harder to break up. Im convinced women invented marriage.

I think people get married because they feel like thats just what youre supposed to do. Society puts all kinds of pointless pressure on people to do things without real reason.


BTW, we are the most stable couple I know.

FWIW.

You're too young to get married. You've pissed away your 20s up to this point. There will always be another girl who is "the one." You only get one decade as a twenty something. A decade where you should be on your own, making some money or in grad school and hanging with friends doing all the stuff you wanted when younger but couldn't afford. Eventually you'll all get married and you'll see less of each other and you'll settle into the well worn groove of married life during your 30s. When your 40s hit and that wife is giving you shite for drinking five beers in your backyard listening to some music while you smoke a brisket and mind your own business, you'll be able to find a modicum of joy reflecting back on your 20s, the freest decade of one's life.

I'd say break it off, but before you do, tell her you like to bone outside...
See how she reacts, if she's cool, she might be a keeper

Why did you even propose if you were not sure?

Marriage is a huge commitment. I'd be willing to guess most people second guessed their decision ato least once during the engagement phase.

In my opinion I would move out and live apart for some time. Even if means postponing the wedding for later in the year. Living together prior to marriage can potentially set you up for failure. Marriage is not easy. You have to work at it daily.

While this is true, he mentions that he feels like things have gotten stale....and he is only 4 months into his engagement. I would guess he has felt that things were "stale" before he even proposed. Which is why I ask why did he even propose.

Honestly...based on his OP he sounds like he has very unrealistic expectations of marriage and relationships in general. A marriage and serious relationship isn't supposed to feel exciting all the time. If he thinks things feel too boring for him now...he doesn't seem to realize that marriage is NOT gonna change that for the better.

Doesn't sound like his relationship is necessarily doomed, just that he may need to rethink what a realistic marriage actually looks like.

You need to have an honest conversation with her. Talk about the relationship as you see it. Won't be easy, but it will pay off in the long run.

Luckily for me, I had that conversation many years ago with my hs sweetheart. It was her who initiated the convo. Now, we are both happily married... to other people.

Who knows, she may feel the same as you. Maybe it's just cold feet. Won't know without talking to her.

could also be because since the engagement the chick is all about the pending marriage and the stress of planning and the lifetime commitment has gotten in the way of just loving one another

Tell her that the only way you can go through with it is if she will accept anal

True. I've heard some women get insanely annoying when they are engaged.


I mean, not that I know anything personally about that or anything

Which is why he is having second thoughts.

Life gets stale. But it's also awesome. It is natural to get scared of that.

People see marriage as the stepping stone into life's boredom.

Things just have gotten stale, no more excitement. Feels like we're already a boring married couple.


Just sit down and discuss this with her.
