You know, you bring up a good point that has inspired me to post one of my own problems. I don't care if I end up alone, but I do worry about not having a child. But, I'm not rich, so a test-tube baby isn't really an option at this moment. So, that leaves me with the option of finding someone to get into a serious relationship with and to probably get married to. And, I really hate break-ups...I'd rather cut off my one of my limbs than have to part with someone that I grew accustomed to having in my life in the most intimate of ways. So, what do you suggest?
I'll take a swing at this one.
So for my own curiousity... The biggest concern for you at the moment is a divorce/ entering a relationship, and having it fail?
If that is the case, then I guess the only thing I could suggest is to consider your fasmily history, and evaluate whether or not you are prone to divorce. Either than that, than I would only say that the biggest hurdle for you is yourself, and your own concerns upon placing the blame of a divorce upon yourself. I would also estimate said concerns also lean you towards a need to be around said significant other at a constant time, and not allowing one another to live separate lives?
My advice? Simply, that while relationships involve a bit of involving the other half in your life, a portion of you needs to focus on yourself, and live some aspect of a private life. Be it a job, a hobby, hell, even these forums. Some sort of a positive outlet in which you are able to express yourself, yet also share portions with your spouse when the situations arises.
You're a good person... I'd try giving the relationship a shot, and noting that your significant other doesn't have to share in all aspects of your life. That actually makes the relationship somewhat stronger
