Can I ask how old are you and he?

And


I'm 24 (soon to be 25) and he just turned 30. He is very career oriented, which is awesome -- that is part of the reason why I love/admire him so much. But I feel like you can be career oriented and still think about your future outside of your career. Gahhh! I would LOVE to be his wife & I know he would be an amazing father.  Damn these female hormones!! smiley: alien



First, sorry for the typo!

That 'huh' emote should have been a 'hug' emote; I'm not that bitchy to people on here!



Well, if it gives you any hope, I've found that men generally really want to have all their career ducks in a row before they start to think about getting married. I think the whole 'protector/provide for my family' thing is very hard to get rid of for most men. So, perhaps he's been very career-oriented to prepare for thinking about marriage.

But, I think the most important thing is for YOU to not let your envy over what your friends have affect your logical view of your future with your boyfriend. Don't get caught up in 'wanting to get married', in itself. Think about whether you specifially want to marry HIM.
