I no longer look forward to marriage

I'm scared. Scared that i will never be able to give myself unreservedly again. Scared that will be unable to meet my partner's needs. Rationally, I know that I am wrong. Love -making for me became love-breaking.

I`ve been single for 2 years and sadly, i started being single in my 30s:(. But, i don`t feel traumatic with relationship, despite seeing the facts that some friends are already divorce with kids! I just don`t want to be rushy in having relationship while my heart doesn`t want to..Marriage is for life. I know love is not the most important, but still it is very important besides commtiment itself.Try to open your heart, like Phil Collins says"You can`t hurry love", well, just wait and keep making friends and enjoy your life! No marriage is perfect. Mariage nowdays becomes more fragile because couple tend to forget COMMITMENT

Well I guess its all in the mindset. I think if you would think like that, most likelihood you will meet that fate of being single all your life. If you could just shift to a new set of mindset then I guess that fear that you've put in your mind would be erased.

hi.. why are you scared? has something happen that scared you? just remember that not all person are the same.. If you've been hurt before, that's part of loving.. It does not always end a happy ending.. but it should not turn that way.. its better to be loved and be hurt than to have not loved at all.. don't lose your heart.. don't lose your self-confident.. its not your fault if things happen differently.. just keep on loving and soon you will find the right person for you.. ..

I think it's normal to be scared about being married. But what is not normal is that it stops you from taking the risk. Nobody's perfect. All the people I know who are married doesn't mean that they are perfect spouse for their partner. It is really scary if you know that the person you are about to marry is not the one you love or that you are just force to marry that someone. Please don't let this fear interfere your opportunity to prove your love and share a life with one person.
