He popped the question and I said yes. Now I have doubts.

Asked Jan 9, 2012, 12:52 AM — 23 Answers
We've been together for more than a year now... He never said "I love you", no tags for me, I was never introduced as his girlfriend. I only continued because he was ever so nice and loving, he use to forget himself to solve my problems, has even gone out of his way to help me. We were very much a couple, we just did not call ourselves girlfriend and boyfriend. All his friends use to tease him about me and all...

Now out of the blue, when I least expected it, he proposed me for marriage, I did not answer instantly, but asked him a few questions about how sure he was and all that, he said he had made up his mind and was not going to change it.

I finally said yes, looking at his sincerity.

Now I am feeling weird... Its not that I don't want to marry him, its just that I am not ready... Specially after a year with him of no commitments.

As long as you are happy with what's being Answered ??? I wouldnt be because with all you have explained, and you would not have come here asking if you had not seen red flags, he seems unusual and that would not be my piece of cake. If he is like this now, how will he be after you are married?

How old is he Indya? And what nationality is he? Maybe these answers will give me some clarity and understanding of your hesitation, which now seems justified. I guess we are not finished yet, and you are back so feel you are still skeptical?

Maybe you should tell him you want straight answers, or know the reason why.

I am 24, he is 27. He comes from a conservative catholic family.

One of the questions I had asked him was why doesn't he talk much, he said, he generally doesn't talk at all, infact I am one of the few with whom he talks so much...

Certain questions he did not answer, preferring to say that we will see what happens in future and I am there with you.

I am skeptical and indecisive because I as mentioned before we had a no-commitments kind of a relationship. Which I had accepted tho a rather grudgingly because I really liked him deeply, there were these qualities in him like caring for me very dearly and taking up my issues as his own.

But I was in no way prepared for him to jump directly to marriage, when in the first place he had been so reluctant even to commit to a relationship...

His actions say commitment even though he is against titles. The challenge is expressing your own concerns, wants, and needs, and not just go blindly along with his program.

That has sent the signal you are okay with his behavior.

I think that is a wise decision. This way the two of you can decide independent of each other, how this is going to play out.

Guess what? He 'broke up' with me because his mother didn't approve our relationship and marriage!

I truly want to thank all here who helped me get out of this nonsense, if I hadn't taken the needed break, this news would have surely come as a heartbreaking event.

I am glad I asked here and got a really good view of what actually was going on.

Well, I think you are glad that is put to rest. And, WOW ! he followed his mother's advice. I can see the writing on the wall here, Indya. You are well away from her controlling influence!
