this is going to make me sound awful, but I miss being engaged. my ex and I were engaged and broke up and I don't miss him in the slightest, and I absolutely adore my current partner, but he has said right from the beginning that he doesn't believe in marriage, and I think it's just because I know I want a future with him and to me that future includes marriage, and it's just making me miss the feeling of being engaged

      it may be that you think having a future with somebody = marriage , or it may be you live him so much you want to secure it with a ring. whatever the reason is it’s completely fine. for some religious people it’s because that’s how life is “supposed to be” but that doesn’t make their want for marriage any less valid. if you really want to marry the guy, maybe talk to him about why he “doesn’t believe in marriage”. i don’t know what that means tbh. and if you want the big wedding then say that to him and discuss it. if you just want to be married and it doenst have to be a whole thing you can go to one of them marriage office places and just sign a piece of paper and boom you have the ring and the husband and you’re tied together. but whatever it is you want i think it’s important you tell him so that you don’t end up feeling dissatisfied and like you’re missing something xx

        @titch if he really loves you then i would imagine he’ll at least consider it. if he doesn’t have anything against marriage except taht it maybe doesn’t make sense to him then it should be easy enough to consider getting married to you if he also wants a future with you. i’m not saying “ditch him if he doesn’t consider it” because who am i to decide whether he does or “doesn’t love you in the right way”
