One, it's the maximum damage done to a girl. Two, that's the benchmark of a man's life lived in the most unmanly way. What is a man worth if he can't even make a freaking decision and can't stick to it

If it dawns that she is "not" the one, why even buy her an engagement ring.
According to you.

He's made his bed and now he has to sleep in it right? To hell with the bed bugs.

Being left at the alter is not the worst thing that can happen to a girl.

Gee, I'd much rather spend the rest of my life with a man who only loves me with half of his heart than a "spineless, effeminate little sissy" who had the courage to let me go and find someone who loved with me his whole heart.

We're not encouraging anything because we don't know anything about his relationship and neither do you and the rest!

It doesn't take an expert to see that any relationshiop in this much trouble BEFORE the wedding just might not be a relationship with very good odds for success.
That's just it, those of us who are giving him sound advice are not insisting he do anything. We asked him to think it through, we didn't pretend we have all the answers and make absolute statements.

And now that he has decided to go forward, responsible people will only encourage him. Not predict his divorce from an armchair

No, now that he decided to go forward, everybody will get wishy-washy and wish him well!

Wow, 40 minutes with a therapist and she's made, probably, the biggest decision in your life for you. Another great move. Any professional, ethical therapist would not make such large leaps in judgement in one short session.

You and your girl sound pretty dysfunctional. Maybe you're the perfect pair. I don't know that anyone else would have you with the behavior you've outlined.

i'm at work right now, and can think of nothing but this. i don't know what to do. my head is about to explode.

All I can say is, if you have any doubt whatsoever, get the hell out and don't look back. Do not get married.

Take it from one who knows.

sharpie - from the ugly rep you just left me, I feel bad for your fiance. Now I can see why you deserved to be yelled at.
