I ran out of excuses to not get married. I used to say we aren’t getting married until the gays can.

Thanks Obama.

We dated long-distance for 9 months, then another year and a half after I took another job to be closer.

Plus she puts up with my bullshite.

Lots of bullshite in here, but this is a 100% true statement. I don’t see your age but if it’s early to mid 20’s, scoop her up or you’ll always wonder ‘what if’. You have to personally be mature enough to handle a serious and committed relationship. I was not and I’ve regretted it since I was 22.

She’s now married with 3 kids. I have a cat.

There’s a middle ground. I’m a big planner, but also love waking up and deciding randomly to go to New Orleans for the day or whatever.

When we travel, I make a full itinerary. It’s not exhausting or anything.. plenty of down time to wander around or relax. But knowing where you have reservations each day and knowing ahead what days you plan to visit each thing you want to see makes vacation actually LESS chaotic than it would be without a plan. You’re not sitting there for an hour a day using phone maps and Yelp to figure out where to get a good meal. You don’t have to wait anywhere. Tickets bought in advance, dinner reservations made in advance, etc

The first time my SO and I were going on a trip, he was weirded out by my itineraries. Then we got there and it was like “okay we have 3 hours to do whatever you want.. lunch is at 12:00 at such and such place”. It’s like autopilot.

Ask her what her number is

Over 10 don't put a ring on it because you will not be the last

You give us two paragraphs about planning to go to the grocery store and bunk about your checkout experience? Is she a self checkout person or does she go face to face with a cashier? If she’s a selfer how does she handle the order of scanning, cold to hot, big to small, hard to soft? Same deal at a register, how does she load the conveyor? Does she make it easy for the cashier or just randomly grab things? Did she make use of the bottom of the buggy for large heavy items?

And don’t even get me started on loading the groceries into the car. These are all things that you need to take into consideration.

I had a pretty long relationship (2-3 years) when I was 20-23 or so. She was a great person and we were discussing getting married at some point but I wasn't really ready or mature enough at that time.

I still liked drinking and partying a lot at that age and pretty much destroyed that relationship. It all worked out in the end though. She's happily married with kids and so am I.

Spontaneity is great sometimes. But people who don’t like to make a plan ever often get stuck doing really shitty stuff.

Friends coming into town and want to grab dinner the night before LSU home game with a group of 8 and no reservation.. and they are SHOCKED the only place they can go is iHOP.

Sometimes thinking ahead is about being able to kick back without stress later.. whereas not ever planning anything ahead of time means stressing when the time comes.

Edit - mapping out the grocery store is weird as shite. Is she afraid of Covid? I’m confused by OP’s post

That's what got me. We dated from high school through college, with 2 summer break ups during that time. The first strengthened our relationship, the 2nd ultimately worked to destroy it. Either way, when she was about to graduate college and move to the next phase of life, I absolute was not and that terrified me. Lots of details I'm leaving out but that was the key events that ruined it.

I've since compared every girl to her and that's not fair to the women or to myself but it's just what I've done. It's led to me becoming unsatisfied and ultimately unhappy after a year or 2. So, I then destroy it and only hurt myself in the process.

Lots more details that I'm not getting into but it's been a pattern.

This reeks of immaturity to me.

"She gets me!" moments are going to happen. It's not unusual for new relationships to cater to the other's wants. Nothing at this point is complicated in the way a marriage would be, because things DO change significantly, and priorities shift.

Chill the frick out.

Half a year? You don't even know this chick. It takes a minimum two years to really know someone. You need time for the crazy to expose itself. Six months is nothing.

Also, all this talk of grocery shopping is super exciting and all, but how is the seks?
