Mate, you literally wrote you're a jobless teen four days ago. No need to make stuff up to come across as more interesting. Stay true to yourself, you're good enough as you are.

Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I believe in fairytale romances over a healthy decent relationship. But I do want to get married one day.

I will talk to him tonight.

Don't sweat it. It's not like you said she was "hot" or something.

I think you thought I meant true love as in Disney. I meant true love as in truly loves me.

I have consideration for how he feels, but he won’t talk to me about it.

I think you’re right. I’m a romantic but being in a loving relationship with someone you trust and love to talk to is the most important thing.

Good luck! My husband is not super romantic, but we are best friends. I used to hate it but let him know how it made me feel. he doesn’t get it but understands it’s important to me. He now makes an effort, I know it’s just for me, but it’s so wonderful that he will try just to make me happy.

Wanting to marry someone is romantic though, is it not? It’s a bonus that it comes with practical benefits.

I mean you deleted your post….even more proof you didn’t like what you were being told.

😂 I mean that’s a major plus!

I think marriage is a major thing to disagree on. Would be to many people.

That's rough. I have a similar story, in college I was in a computer lab that was free to use for everyone. Naturally some people studied there while others used the place to hang out and be a bit rambuctious. I only used that lab to hang out.

One day, I was on my PC and was talking to a friend about some niche, kinda racy topic. We were trying to access some site but the uni VPN blocked it. We tried using website VPNs in Firefox, those were blocked, Opera's VPN, didn't work either. We gave up, or so I thought.

My friend had the brilliant idea of non-consentfully taking control of the computer and trying to access the website themselves. Except, they didn't open Firefox, or open Opera, they opened Chrome. Which most people use as their default browser right? Well, except for me, who had reserved Chrome for other purposes.

Cue hundreds of tabs loading and images of fully nude women showing up in full screen. EVERYONE in that lab could have seen my screen, which was facing the hallway as well. Porn for everyone to see. The reaction times weren't fast enough and people saw.

Lesson learned: don't mess with people's computers without permission... Dude was EMBARASSED

...

He then repeated the same mistake later by opening an app on my phone, without asking, that "looked like a game". Nope, hentai app. Goddamnit man 🤦

Perhaps I should have worded my post better. I don’t believe getting married guarantees a happily ever after. But I understand what you’re saying. I will talk to him tonight.

This sounds like something out of a Happy Madison production

This was a good perspective. Thank you.

To be honest with you, at 24 years old, I think you're too young to be thinking about marriage. You both should be enjoying each other's company and seeing where this leads in the future. For now, enjoy life and don't think too deeply about all of that.

If you guys are together after a few years and you both are still feeling differently about what you both want in the long term, then that's when you should be concerned. But if the relationship is in fact a loving one, then you both would come to a consesus that would work for both of you.

Thank you. I don’t want to leave this relationship. He’s the best person I’ve ever dated. I will talk to him tonight.

Thank you.

Definitely didn't brush his teeth!

That’s not true. I don’t know what time zone you’re in, but it was nearing 2am when I posted this.

It is the airlines fault since they are creating a problem out of thin air hoping you'll pay them to fix it.

But I don’t want it to be just a favor or doing the motions. I want someone to love me enough to want to marry me. What if he never gets there?

Don’t get me wrong, I know legally what marriage is. It’s a very serious contract. It’s a major commitment, and I would never take it lightly.

Already in therapy. 🙃

May I ask, what led to divorce in your first marriage?
