My boyfriend(22M) and I (24F) have been together for about a year and a half. We’ve had some rough patches but he’s been adamant about marrying me since we got together. In the beginning I laughed it off or agreed lightheartedly. As the relationship went on we had more serious conversations about marriage, family, and expectations. Well right before our 1 year anniversary he broke up with me saying his life was too stressful. We got back together, and I broke up with him because I couldn’t get over him breaking up with me. It was a weird, rocky time but we’ve gotten back together. It took me almost 2 months before I felt comfortable in our relationship again. I’ve never had a problem with commitment, I’m the type that rides until the wheels fall off.
Well today he made another comment about us getting married and I admitted to him that I was scared of getting married. Not because I was scared of being committed but because it’s a huge responsibility and life change. Now he’s not really talking to me and is being dry. I’ve reassured him and let him know I do want to be with him for the rest of my life, but I feel horrible.
TL;DR: I told my boyfriend that I’m scared of marriage after we’ve been talking about it for a while.
