My partner and I are starting to talk about marriage beyond just a conceptual thing 😳

I can’t be sure, but I think they might have a crush on you

You can get a recognised relationship certificate if the word β€˜marriage’ feels wrong to you

Good but like antsy in that "it's something new and I don't like change" kind of way? Also it's like a decision and an important one, so there's all that additional anxious excited feeling attached too!

But all positive. This is just me going through the 'omg change' phase I think. Just need to sit and get used to the idea for a little bit πŸ˜…

Ultimately think hard about why are you wanting to get married. What will it add to your relationship that you don't already have.

I'm quite blase about marriage. I just don't think it proves anything. I know lots of people in horrible marriages though so maybe that's why.

It's not the commitment it once was though. Now a mortgage or kids is where shit starts to get real.
