Well. This is a little awkward, as my husband-to-be-in-twenty-nine-days will almost definitely read it, and I'm not sure what he'll think about what I have to say. But here it goes anyway.

I spent all of high school just *dying* to be done with being young. I was so intent on finding whoever it was that I'd spend the rest of my life with- I felt as though everything else was secondary. (I'm not saying this is what you're feeling.)

College was the same way. I ended up making what was probably a too-hasty decision. Don't get me wrong- I love Brandon, and I know that we will be able to make our marriage work. (I wouldn't be marrying him otherwise!) But my point is that I was too anxious. I was so concerned with being with someone that I didn't take the time to think it through. I got lucky, and ended up in a relationship that I'm pretty certain will work out anyway.

But that didn't really answer your question, I think. You asked why you seem to get trashed on- I'm not sure I understand. It doesn't sound like you've had a string of awful relationships, so I'm not sure what you mean.

I feel as though I haven't been helpful at all. Sorry. :-{
