When Marriage Feels Like a Dirty Word in Love 💍
Have you ever felt like you’re asking for too much just by wanting a future together? That’s been my life lately. I’m 25, and my boyfriend—also 25—has always dodged the marriage talk like it’s a trap. At first, I thought maybe he just didn’t love me enough, or worse, that we were fundamentally mismatched. But it turns out, he’s just terrified of the whole wedding circus and hates the idea of being vulnerable in front of our wild families.
So, I tried something new: I stopped making it all about me and started listening to what he wanted. Turns out, he does see marriage in our future, just not the big, flashy kind. We agreed to wait until I finish law school, and suddenly, all my worries melted away. When he said he wanted to put a ring on my finger before I graduate, I swear I blushed like a teenager. Who knew compromise could feel this sweet? 🥰
