You should definitely call it off 4 days after asking her due to an emotional weak moment because your dog died...

Thanks for being blunt. Seriously.

I was incredibly emotional but I had planned on asking her just not this soon.

I’ve thought about this one thing for a few months: I’ve just gone nearly a decade doing what I want when I want. I’m not going to die if I don’t get to hunt or fish as much. I’ll be fine. I’m happy with my life and I’m ok being alone but I’m happier when she’s with me.

We were both against living with one another unless we were married but a few months ago when I realized I really loved her and would possibly marry her, I asked if she would like to move in. She still has her home though but likely accept an offer for it Monday. Everything has gone great. And I’ve continued to hunt and fish almost just as much as before I was with her. She killed her first deer with a crossbow. She has killed a few with her dad over the years with a rifle but never a big buck. Her goal is to kill one with her compound I bought her November. When I first met her never would’ve thought she was into hunting and fishing. 115# gorgeous gal, Christian, financially stable and just a very easy going happy person. She’s pretty amazing. The reservations I was having earlier have nothing to do with her. I just realized that subconsciously I was looking for things to justify not remarrying because maybe I’m terrified of losing another wife to cancer or just losing her period. My mom and both sister in laws around Christmas all said that they believed the reason I hadn’t married her yet was because I was afraid the same thing would happen and I hadn’t thought about that conversation until today.
