He wants to get married but I dont!!!!

I've posted other concerns else where, all of which add up to the fact that I simply cannot handle marriage at this time. Break ups, financial insecurity, emotional dependancy, cheating, etc.

Breaking it down like that makes it sound like I should just end it.

He proposed to me just after Christmas when I went to go visit my family, they all live in the same city. I was taken off guard and caught up in the moment, my automatic reaction was to be thrilled and say yes.

Luckily he doesn't want to rush and get married right away, but when the time comes how am I going to say no? I've accepted his proposal. Saying no at this point would end it, simple as that.

I feel like we're too young (both 22) and have so much more ahead of us in life than getting tied down right now. He sees his entire future in me and only me. I just don't know what to do...I want to be with him, but I'm scared of marriage. Even more than that, I'm scared of hurting him despite everything hes done to me.

I think that you need to have a talk with him and tell him how you feel and what you want. You have to be happy. It is reasonable that you feel this way. You still have lots of time and still have a long time to experience life. If you marry now, you may not get to experience all of that.

I think you need to let him know this sooner than later so that you don't hurt him. Yes he will probably be hurt but the reason is that you don't want to get married yet not because you don't love him. Explain it like that and you guys should be good.
