I'm a bit shaken up about something that I learned today. I'd love to hear what others think... although maybe I won't like the answers.
My parents are unmarried but appear happy together, the have created an empire and enjoy their lives together but my mother told me she doesn't want to get married incase things ever went pearshaped because 'you never truly know'. This stems from series of very bad relationships. The whole conversation implied that she doesn't trust my partner.
Surely you would know after all this time that you were with 'the one'. I've been with my partner 5 years and we have a child. I love my partner very much and he loves me. I would love to get married someday. I know its early in our relationship, but things are going extremely well, we have gone through a lot in the short years we have been together but I am just as in love with him and want to spend my life with him.
Is this lack of trust something that would only affect a person who had a history of awful (and I mean really awful) experiences with relationships.
Or am I being naïve thinking my currently wonderful relationship is not going to last. I feel sick writing this, but have to get it off my chest. Can't discus with anyone IRL.
