So, lately I've been wondering if I'm ever going to get married.
I'm 20 years old and I've never been in a relationship. So, I'm pretty self-reliant and used to being by myself. I do feel lonely sometimes and wish I had someone to spend time with. But I don't know how it would feel to have someone in my life 24/7 and counting on me. It seems like so much pressure.
I'm feeling pretty indifferent to marriage right now. On the one hand I hear how wonderful marriage is and then others say its so hard and takes so much work.
I feel like I have so many issues that I wouldn't want to burden another person with them (or that they wouldn't want to deal with them). I'm trying to work on myself but what if I don't ever change? I feel like I have to be pretty much perfect to get married (or to at least be happily married).
Now that I've typed this all out I think I answered my own question lol. If I'm not happy with myself I can't make another person happy.
Does anyone else feel like they shouldn't get married because of unresolved personal problems?
