Marriage Material?

[NickyDoll]

It seems like everyone around me is moving in together, getting married, having kids... basically living their lives while I feel like mine is on hold. Does anyone else feel this way? Sometimes I feel like we will never live in the same place again.

It's hard to think that we'll be living together one day, but it's a one day far away! (3 years probably) But I understand what you're saying.

There are days I feel that way because we've never met and can't really plan when we will, so I do get bitter towards those who are ending the distance, getting engaged, and so forth. But, everyone lives their lives as destiny/fate/whatever you wanna call it intends them to. Some take longer than others to reach these things.

It is literally happening to me...all my friends from high school are either getting married, are married, or having kids. Yeah, it is frustrating that we can't get married quite yet, but in the words of the Cosby Show: "You get what you get when you get it."

It takes time to get it right, better to take the time than get it wrong!

Actually... having just turned 21, none of my friends are really on that level, yet. They find it "scary" that I've become engaged "so young". (In Denmark the average marrying/getting kids age is around 30 years). I've have my goals set on moving to Japan and all of that when I graduate in 4 years time. But, I've also had my doubts about being "marriage material", but recently my SO seems quite committed in that area. When I doubted things and was trying to find a reason why we were dating, besides that we love each other. He said "marriage and kids, right?" Those few words makes my day... and just makes me look forward to the future.

"Good things comes to those who wait"... right?

It will all happen...hold strong!!

It is hard to wait...and I am so new in this relationship still. This relationship is less than a month old, yet even I feel that aching desire to be together! I can only imagine that the pull will get stronger and more magnetic over the next year, at which point we're hopeful that we'll be able to be in the same zip code. For those of you who have been living for months, and even years away from your partner, all I can say is that I have so much respect for the love you evidently share, and your patience with your current situation.

I am with you on this..it is so hard to wait and see everyone so happy with their love around you. We have to wait for about 3-4 more years to finally start planning our life together..Thing is, we wait so everything can be perfect when the time comes, and that always cheers me up. Still, distance is tough

[Cali2LDN]

I feel that way every single day. All of my best friends have gotten married and some have even had kids and here I am with my future on hold until he gets here. It really does suck waiting, but in the end its so going to be worth the wait <3

Waiting will just make you appreciate it all the more when it is finally time for it to happen to you.

[machstx]

i completely get you on this one. Most of the people i know are moving in/getting engaged/married/having babies and here i sit 600 miles away not knowing when if ever it will be right. i mean how are we suppose to know we even belong together if were not together? :/ forgive me im ahving one of my more doubtful days.

[Talent_2]

I feel this way sometimes, i see couples walking down the street here my friends talk about plans with their bfs and i just think "god i wish i was with Glen" whenever things get tough i just wish i could be with him. The distance is extremely difficult but i believe with what my friend told me "your lucky that you have a bf that loves you so much, you have all the joys of a relationship and the space to be your own person and find out who you are and what you want" Admittedly i would like a lot less time apart but it has given me the strength to find myself and work out what i want out of life and create a deeper bond with my SO. Unfortunately could be at least a few years before i can close the distance

I know we will last and thats because weve had a chance to get to know each other so much better and deeper had we been a CDR

Stay strong

[amandamayaaa]

yep i know what you mean

i just hate seeing couples together all the time, and thinking how unfair it is that i don't get to see my boyfriend whenever i want, and they do
and i hate seeing people complain about not being able to see their SO for like a day.. ughh come on! ha

but don't worry.. you're not alone, and it will get better, and someday you will be with your SO again
life does go by really quick, even if you dont think it is

[NickyDoll]

Haha I know I get this look on my face that makes people shut up right away when they talk about missing their SO even though they've been apart for a whole freaking day and I get all sarcastic with faux sympathy. I know, I'm super mean but I wear my anger and frustration on my sleeve when it comes to this stuff.
