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

I will admit relationships from the start are totally different as one gets comfortable and gets to know each other. I wouldnt want to change who my wife is but there are certainly many aspects that would be changed. Live with no regrets though

I hear ya. Acceptance and tolerance play big roles in relationships as well as communication.

Absolutely. If I was only concerned with intimacy, I would have been gone long ago. But she is an amazing person that I cannot forget that fact and it makes me feel okay living in a sexless marriage

@BearDownChicago: im sorry about the sexless part but it is truly a great thing what you do. I hope this situation gets better 鉂わ笍

Thank you. Much appreciated. 14 years so far, not holding my breath but never know right

@BearDownChicago: that is amazing. My marriage only lasted for 3 years and one of the reasons was definitely the intimacy. Your wife is lucky!

I feel for you. Trust me it is hard and frustrating. But what can I say....
