So I recently caught up with some old friends of mine and started talking about my relationship with my boyfriend of 4 years. We’re doing really great and have been envisioning a life together (ie: creating baby name lists, looking at houses, and conversing about how wonderful our lives would be together). I told him all about our convo and how thrilled they are about our dream together. Obviously it’s not set in stone and it’s just an idea, but once I told him that he got very defensive. Saying that I shouldn’t be conversing with friends in this way because he’s afraid of broken promises/ not all relationships last. I’m aware that 4 years is a relatively short time but I’m worried he’s having second thoughts. We never fight and live together so harmoniously that it’s basically a Disney movie (I know it’s crazy but true). We’re literally two peas in a pod and I can’t see anyone but him in my future. What should I do? Is he having second thoughts? Or is this self defense for if (I hope not) we ever break up?
Boyfriend (25) doesn’t like me (23) talking about our hopes and dreams with friends?
