Relationships now vs later?

When people get into relationship, it is normal to think about what the future holds. I mean, after all what exactly is the goal of being in a relationship? To build a family etc etc right?

Me on the other hand, never thought about that anymore. Not after what happened in my past relationship.
So, I met this guy over a year ago and I know if I think about our future, it won't work because we both live in completely different worlds but for now, we are so great together. I dont want to think about what's gonna happen later because honestly, I dont even know what's gonna happen to me in say, 2-3 hours from now? Lol.. And I don't want the thought of tomorrow stops me from being happy today. He thinks it won't be fair for both of us. I said, when the time comes, we deal with it. In the meantime, why can't we be the way we are and just be happy? Live in the now I always say.

I don't want to spend my life thinking about "what ifs" or "if only" and let my fear and worry control me of being happy and in love.

Am I making any sense at all? Lol 馃榾

You make a lot of sense to me. I'm kind of afraid to go out on dates. If the date works out you go on another date. If you seem compatible you keep going out, you're dating. What's expected is it will progress to engagement then marriage. I admit my exwife is the stuff nightmares are made of, a narcissist. But getting into that again is very scary!

Sorry to hear about your ex-wife trauma. My ex- husband isnt really that far from it either, hence I crowned him the "ex" title 馃榾

It amuses me how everyone thinks I should find another "promising" fella because they are concern about my "future" lol.. well the heart wants what it wants! 馃槄

@PaintedVeil: Sorry your marriage was also a lesson in why being married is bad! Oh yeah gotta be married! Hell no give the heart what it wants.

@1961dave: yup looks like we are in the same "ex" boat lol..
once people learn that nothing lasts forever, then they will understand and learn how to enjoy, appreciate and simply live! (and love... and laugh!) 馃榾
