I'm 26. Most of the advice in this thread are the things that have been going through my mind. "Get out now bc of these thoughts or I'll regret it someday" and also "I love her, I'm just having cold feet. I know she'd be a great wife".

I don't know if I'm just having one of those "grass is always greener" cold feet moments or if it's a serious indication I'm not ready and would be making a mistake

Don't marry her unless she makes more money than you and will make more for the duration of your marriage.

True or False

A real man can romance a woman over and over for a lifetime?

Are you real or are you faux.

Talk to her about how you're feeling. Not necessarily the cold feet, but about how you want to get some of that excitement back.

ETA: If you don't already know this, from a psychological perspective, there is more than one stage of love. The romantic 'butterfly' feeling you get at first fades eventually. That's romantic love. You're now in the committed love stage. Many people confuse this as falling out of love, when in reality it's just a psychological shift. Committed love is "a willingness to find joy and share in an ordinary life together"

Everybody goes through this. The big question about staleness is are you getting stale? You coming home everyday and watching TV while she cooks dinner or you trying to do some fun stuff together? Also by living together you've already gone through the honeymoon stage. You are already a married couple. C'mon break out of the rut and do some fun shite together.

You come across as a teenager, why would he listen to you? I can't imagine you have any real world advice


You are a poor judge of character. Why would I give advice like that without experience? Seriously, if it's stale now, wait 10 years. my relationship wasn't stale when we got married, but it certainly has become that. Children changes women into something completely different from what you knew. The best way to not fall into this situation is to find a wife in your (and her) 30's.

C'mon man. This is easy to fix. Step out of the routine sometimes.

Go out of town for the weekend. Go road trip somewhere new. Create new memories together.

Playing married before married and you are surprised at staleness. Would suggest you consider staying engaged but live apart and see where it goes
