Search Results: relationship trust issues marriage

Weve been dating for a year now, and we are really serious about each other. I want to marry him. I've never wanted to marry someone before. I have never had such a connection with anyone in my entire life. And he really wants to get promise rings (2 promises- for marriage, and no intercourse til we are married).
I'm asking this question, because, I have some abandonment issues. In previous relationships, I never let myself get truly attached. I was in a two year relationship, and when I broke up with him, I didn't even cry... I was that unattached.
But this guy... He completely swept me off my feet. He is my best friend, we laugh together for hours on end. We connect on such a deep level, I can tell how he's feeling without even looking at him. I am finally in love. He looks at me like I am absolute gold, that I am a treasure, an angel. He calls me his queen and princess and takes such good care of me.
And if he left me, I'd be so devastated. I don't want to take this step, and then be left wishing I had stuck to blocking people out.
I am in therapy and doing really, really well. I trust him. But a tiny voice is nagging at me, and I'm afraid of commitment.
Because of this we intend on moving slow. First promise rings, a long engagement, and then finally marriage. I think I'm ready. I love him and I know he loves me. I'm ready to step out of this fear of commitment and this is such a small step that, I think I can do it, and I want to. But I need a third party opinion. So, what do you think?

My friend Flirted w a guy w a girlfriend and they basically had an Emotional affair, not a physical one. It happened like this because the guy's girlfriend has an attitude problem, she's insecure, has you trust issues, and isn't the smartest However she gives him a lot of sex and blow jobs. Sex is what keeps their on/off relationship running. So my friend, being the complete opposite, she's Funny, nice, weird, down to earth, she's in top 5% and she's just overall a very easy going person. Anyways my friend feels guilty because our other close friend says that she is a home wrecker but I disagree. We're all 17 here, were juniors in high school, were teenagers were not adults. So how can she be a home wrecker if they have no Home to wreck. Last time I checked a home wrecker was someone who breaks up a MARRIAGE. In the eyes of the lord your still single if you aren't married. My friend shouldn't feel guilty because WE ALL do stupid things, to get someone we like. WE ALL did stupid things to get someone we liked. She's a good person. My friend is not the type of girl to sleep with a guy JUST. Because he has a girlfriend. She liked him before she even k ew and it just turns out that he has one. WHATEVER, were young!!! Its okay to make mistakes and be a little shady now and then were 17!! High school relationships dont last anyways, especially the kind of relationship that revovles around sex, you can find sex anywhere but not emotional comfort. , I can see if we were like in our 30s but come on, we're all in high school we're just having fun. Right?
