I am 33 and was engaged to a wonderful man recently but felt that we had too much stacked up against us to make the relationship work forever so I canceled the engagement. The biggies are the following:

 

1. We are from different sides of the country and both want to live where we originally are from.

2. We are from different races and cultures and I don't feel 100% comfortable being around his forever.

3. We have very different interests and activity levels

4. We have a disconnect sexually and rarely have sex successfully

5. He has a variety of health problems including anxiety and a brain malformation that may not ever cause any problems in our future, or may cause devastating ones including stroke, seizures, paralysis, etc.

6. We have poor communication and oftentimes don't express our thoughts to each other in an effective and understood way.

 

So- is this too much to marry into? I know that "love conquers all" is the hope, but is it a reality in this situation? He is an amazing man. I feel privileged to have spent the 2.5 years together that we did, but were we just pretending our relationship was possible long term when it actually wasn't meant to be?

 

Thanks in advance for your input!

Please reconcile 1,2,3,4,and 6 with "he is an amazing man".

 

Your relationship sounds relatively dreadful but you need to take him off the pedastal clearly.
