How soon do you get serious??

[AKA_Monet]

I was only knew my husband for ~5-6 months before I married him...

But I was 34 years old, had been there, done that in every kind of relationship... I also had a medical emergency in which my now husband emotionally supported me and another a$$wipe that lived in my city abandoned me...

So, if you don't kid yourself into this "magical Disney romantical adventure" story that has been sold to us, Americans, lock, stock and barrell, and have a realistic view of your life and that of your loved one, then you should be fare decently...

Our first year was rough because we didn't do the "waiting game". But with each passing year, we grow stronger... I must say, I truly admire my husband and he bends over backwards for me... But that's me.

And like others have stated, you need to know yourself more than anything else.

And if you read any of my earlier posts before 2003... You will noticed that I truly started to believe that I was NOT marriage material...
