“I told him that it felt like he wasn’t serious about our relationship if he couldn’t even think about marriage.”
Afterward, her boyfriend tried to reassure her by saying he was definitely committed to her and their relationship’s future. But when it comes to marriage, he just needs more time to feel ready.
She still couldn’t help but become emotional, though, and started tearing up. She also told her boyfriend that it was very important to her that they were working toward the same goals.
“I felt like I’d been assuming we were on the same page, but now I wasn’t so sure. He got quiet and said he understood how I felt but asked for patience,” she explained.
Since then, there has been some awkward tension in their relationship. She’s also trying to understand where her boyfriend is coming from.
“But I can’t help feeling like he’s not as committed as I am. I know we’re young, but I also know what I want, and I’m scared we’re growing in different directions,” she vented.
Nonetheless, she’s not sure if being angry at her boyfriend for not even considering marriage right now is reasonable or not.
Do you agree that she and her boyfriend are still young and shouldn’t rush into marriage? What advice would you give her?
