Ignore MH... he’s being a weirdo... You’re not “married” until you darn well want to be married... not when MH thinks you are.
Not to worry. I have been thinking about things for a while now, even without Michael's prompting. Is this real? Is this permanent? Do I want it to be? Is she the one? Will the things that annoy me about her still annoy me in 5 years? Is this really as good as it gets? Would I be wondering that if she was really "the one"? Should I be feeling magical euphoria? I mean, I'm happy, but don't feel euphoria, and what if I meet somebody later who makes me feel euphoria? Is the idea that the right person makes you feel euphoria just a dumb myth from romance stories?
I may be overthinking things a little.
Part of long term is recognizing when the other needs alone time. It's a struggle but one of the closers really...
It might be a struggle for as long as we're together. She craves constant companionship, and I can't deal with it. We'll probably be trying to find a balance forever.
I didn't mean to presume but I guess I did. It seems to me after a year and no major problems you're in it. Living together for that long is commonlaw right ?
But don't get all weird about it, especially on my account.
Don't worry, I can get plenty weird without any help from you.
We're not living together, btw. I'm still not ready to give up my own space. The idea of living together is one of the things I'm getting weird about.
