Charisma Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Okay...I'll admit it that bringing up marriage too early in a relationship can be detrimental but I don't see why it has to be? I have a habit of talking about marriage openly with guys early on, as a way to find out whether that's apart of their future plans. I never insinuate that they are to marry me,but I'm just curious. Most recently I did this, and maybe lost a new potential love as a result So my question is: Why do men get scared away by the marriage discussion?
sweetadeline Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Having been on both sides of this one, I can say that it isn't only men who can get scared by talk of marriage. I think a lot depends on how the discussion is framed. Someone who seemed more interested in getting married for its own sake than in finding the right relationship, one from which marriage might naturally evolve, would (and has) put me off. Marriage lasts a long time (at least in theory), so you want to make sure you're choosing someone who will be compatible with you. And you often have to date someone for a while to figure that out.
