I Just Can't Do It


It's been a texting drama for me this morning. 

Last night GF and I went to some friends house for a BBQ.  We visited with everyone and ate a rare steak due to the gas running out on the propane tank and no side dish due to the hostess being a bad hostess.  But it was fun and we got to see some friends we haven't seen in a long time.



GF apparently was talking to one of our friends about our 4 year relationship and the friend told her we should have a commitment ceremony.  So this morning, the text started with her telling me that.

 

Well, as you may or may not know.  I have been married 3 times.  I didn't like it.  I wasn't good at it.  I never want to do it again. EVER!!
 

But try to tell that to her.  She says it's her dream but I know she just wants a ring on my finger to let people know that I'm taken.  If she could tattoo "TAKEN" on my forehead she would. 

 

So after I told her over and over again that we didn't need a fake ceremony that would cost a ton of money to commit to each other, she finally said "well if you buy me a ring, we don't have to do it"  So I said I would get her one when I could afford it and she said "well - only if you want to get me one from the heart, not forced". 

 So I said "Isn't that what your doing though?  Forcing me to buy you a ring?"

 

UGH! 

 

 

 

If only she knew how annoying that was, she would know it just pushes me farther away.

She wants a commitment, huh? Or does she simply want to make sure that you are out of circulation?
Some people's children, huh?

Oh, me. Commitment is from the heart, not a ring. Many people have rings and terrible relationships!

Okay, I totally understand how being burned 3 times would make you not look forward to getting married again, believe me. My thought is, this has to be mutual or it doesn't work. Do you know that this person is "The One"? Good question, right? I've been married 28 years and I'm still nuts about him. Go figure! Probably if you had asked me after a couple years if I thought we would make it, I would have said, "Maybe?" You never know. I do know that you have to do this with your heart and I'm sure your partner does not want something half-hearted.

*sigh* That's exactly it... it should come from the heart, not because it's expected and forced upon you. Sounds like she's missing the point.

I wouldn't want to be pushed either... It needs to come from the heart!
Hope it gets better

I can see how it would be annoying.
