Does being old-fashioned really helps in building a relationship?

I am old-fashioned..I'd been with 5 previous unconsumated relationships before with the man I am now with...I think it took too much trying to keep us just because he's the first man I slept..

Earlier this morning I read an article about a woman who married a man that has ADP ..and as they pursue she describe it as living hell. She kept the marriage because they have a baby on their way and it was inculcate by her mom that whoever came first in her life shall be the one she has to spent her entire life with. I admit at some point of being old fashioned I find it to shallow to keep the one who came first knowing your partner is psychologically incapacitated. However, I felt guilty that knowing her situation is not so different from mine..I also admit that my recent relationship is rocky in which I have to reevaluate where to put myself if I get tired of it..I can't afford worst things to come probably I'll leave my old-fashioned self on the side because I don't want to tear my life away because my emotions haven't been taken good care of..
By pleasing others, people lose themselves. Always be true to yourself and to your personal beliefs. That's what loving yourself is all about. Never allow people to determine your worth.
I'm old fashioned too, in that I have moral values and integrity, that I treasure. There is nothing shameful about that, or being true to yourself.

I believe the term old-fashioned might use a term that might not for the paradigm of the relationship. I think your current values are very sound.

I don't think it makes any difference.

Hm. I'm christian so I believe that once you marry someone, you're married until you die.

@Sepia I've thought about that a lot and I've come to the conclusions that you need to know your partner better than what most people do before getting together in a marriage.

@MartinTheFirst I do..and I want to get to know him more and I will sacrifice if its worth it..not to the expense of me being left hurt

@Sepia thats the point.. for me there is no "getting to know him/her more". If you can get to know them more you do not know them well enough to sacrifice your entire life for them.
