Paranoia.

[Guest]

My boyfriend and I have been together for almost two years, and although we don't have any plans on jumping into it right away (much too young yet!) we both agree that we'd like to get married someday.

 

I really believe that he is absolutely the right person for me, and having dated other guys before him, I realize and am grateful for just how great of a catch I have found.

 

However, because I am still pretty young, I still wonder sometimes if in twenty years I might regret not dating around more or pursuing other relationships. In all honesty, I really don't like the whole dating process anyway, but I feel it is a valid point to consider anyway.

 

My question is this: is it normal to have these sort of doubts at this stage of my life and in my relationship? My main conflict is that I don't understand why, if I am perfectly happy with who I have, I still have doubts and wonder about what it would be like to date other people. Anyone have any advice?

How old are you? What stage are you at in life?

 

I'm not married. But in my opinion, that's a huge decision. It's normal to have moments of doubt, but if you are thinking maybe there were other fish in the sea maybe he's not the right one for you. I

 

Two years is a long time....but if you're in high school or something you still have a lot of life to experience. Sounds like you have plenty of time to see how things go with this guy before you take the plunge (since you say you aren't jumping into anything.) If you are truly happy with him and his presence enriches your life, focus on that and the rest will come.
