Who knows? Maybe the timing just wasn’t right–for you OR my Greg. Maybe in the long run you WILL settle down with these fine young women. Maybe not. Whatever the outcome, you both knew it wasn’t just right just now, and you both did the brave and responsible thing.
i really appreciate everything and i hope all is well with your son.. Atleast i know i’m not in this boat alone.. But we talked it over and things are going great now and i feel alot better about things.. thinks for opening my eyes..
Thanks for your shout. I hope my advice really did help. I didn’t say very much! My 25-year-old son was recently in the same position. He was with a WONDERFUL and very beautiful young woman whom everyone loves, including him. But something didn’t feel right. He COULD have just kept following along the expected path; they might have married, they might have had kids, they might have lived happily ever after. It totally broke her heart AND mine when he decided to break free. But I admire him for taking that honest step, which I think required a lot of courage. Who knows? Maybe it was the right woman, wrong time; maybe he’s just not ready for a til-death-do-us-part sort of relationship. It was only recently that this happened, so I can’t tell you the long-range outcome. I only know that faking your way into a marriage is not honest and fair. So I congratulate you on working this through now, instead of just taking the path of least resistance. I wish you the very best, whatever decision you make.
