Is it worth saving?

Amy

I have been in a wonderful relationship with a guy that may be the man of my dreams -- he's everything I could ever want. We have had some awesome memorable moments as well as the worst (we've almost broken up a few times). Each time, our love has brought us back together. I have never felt this intensity of love for another person and neither has he. We've moved pretty quickly -- becoming live-in couples at two months into our relationship. We've even spoken about marriage.. he proposed to me a few times but I have always been hesitant at moving so quickly.

The thing is.. he's 5 years my junior. This has presented a few problems lately. Although we have a great relationship and great sex... we do get into our share of arguments. I'm not sure whether it's the fact that he IS quite young (20) or something else. He's also been getting "cold feet" about being in such a committed relationship. He's been completely honest about his feelings towards this -- he feels that he may selfish to himself for not having had "lived"... "not having experienced being a 20 year old kid" (he's had a pretty harsh life). He feels that although he loves me more than anything, he's scared of the fact that "I may be the last woman he will ever be with".

I'm not sure how to feel about this. I'm glad that he was able to tell me honestly his feelings but I'm wondering whether it would be in my best interest to end things now if they're destined to end anyways.
