Did you ever feel afraid for married? I heard so much that many people is afraid when they will get married, especially when the day will come nearby ... until they already married they have just done it well, but i once heard too, umm .. several times that this feeling can bring a bad situation, until they cancelled their wedding ceremony that has been planned even a long times ago ...
Who has this kind of experience?

Yes I was little nervous during my marriage bcoz I was worried thinking about how my husbands family will accept me. As ours was love marriage I was bit tensed thinking will they be happy with me. So in that case I was worried and tensed and even nervous but otherwise I dint had any kind of tension..

Umm .. i'm sorry before .. but i think isn't it much more better for you both to get to really know each other including each both families before you decide to get married?

helo we got married after agreeing by both the families. It was a love plus arranged marriage. both the families were happy for our decision but still I was little scared because I was worried about how to get along with them. But now everything is fine and Im happy with them.

Though I am not married, I am not afraid to be. I know it is an anxiety to a lot of people, especially as they actually come to decide to do so, and the date approaches. I think a lot of it is usually about the situation of the actual ceremony itself, and how they think it will reflect on the relationship.
There is some changes that happen when you get married. Aside from the living together, that I would hope most people do before they make that commitment. One of the couple gets a last name change. It is usually the wife, but sometimes no one makes the change. Change in tax status and the amount of taxes that will be due. Combining of assets and debt. The legal authority over one another, of sorts.
Then there is also the fear of divorce, which makes people feel like a failure. When people parrot statistics, they do not sound so good.
I have been an officiator over several weddings. There seems to always be this sense of stress, but it is usually last minute modifications to the actual ceremony and such.
For a lot of people though, it seems to just be a legal definition, as shown by the rate of cohabitation in this country.

Usually this fear happen to women, the fear between unmarried yet and already married is different situation, i have one friend, that she cancelled her wedding plan because of she doesn't feel unsure about the wedding, and she is afraid of getting married, that's why she is not ready for the wedding, and the results is she broke up with her boyfriend ...

hello maxilimian,
I never feel afraid of married or even when we're getting married. It's the best decision in my life that I made. Surely, there are lots of adjustment but it's just a piece of cake. If you are really serious and want that your marriage will work out, then you must be ready of it, like everything. Patience, understanding, respect, love are some if not the most important in getting into it. It takes two to tango, so one without the other is useless.

I'm afraid of finding a guy for myself because there are so many gay men in the world that I might marry someone who will turn out to be gay in the future! That would be so embarrassing when he leaves me for another man! So until now I'm still single. I haven't found a nice straight guy yet. I have nothing against gay men OK I have many gay friends, I just don't want to marry someone who's secretly gay!

Gay?? Wow, it's another problem ... maybe you can avoid it by looking a new friend outside the gay friendship to get a normal man before you decide to get married, and of course you have to be sure of him

i also have seen similar reports.especially for those white-collar staff.they began to worry about their future.they think the present life will be changed,even after giving birth to a baby.that affects their beauty.why do they think like that?i think they get used to their lives.so the better way is to find a psychologist.nothing to be worried.that's commom.

psychologist is the last solution we'll try if there's seem no way out of the trouble, i'm talking about feeling afraid before getting married, until i've found cases that one couple or several couples have to cancel it because of this feeling ...

Why do you called it like's a gambling? I think married is far away from gambling, it's not matter of good luck and bad luck ... it's one of the big part from our life

Yes, I did I was somewhat nervous because I will be facing a new kind of life. I did not know what is marriage has in store for me? But I love the man so I did go and married him on that memorable day! Well I did not commit a mistake. In fact, I believe my marriage is one of the most wonderful things that happened in my life. I was never this happy and contented in my life. My marriage is a blissful and one and has brought so many beautiful things to me.

I was married for years. And I knew I was right about getting into it. Specially if slowly throughout the years the real woman unfolds before your eyes. But it is quite normal to be scared of what lies ahead. There are untold events that lie in a married life. At a very young age when all we think is about freedom, love and acceptance, specially if there were no other choices left in life like there isn't anything you could do to fulfill your other dreams because there were no means to do it, then people get married. Lol. I did. For the wrong choices in life. I made too many wrong turns back then and then it all fell on me. Like domino. Now I'm too old to go do anything else. Well there isn't anything to do cause I have virtually nothing to start anything. Lol. cheers! Lucky for me there's myLot.

Are you from Malaysia? hahha. I heard this topic in the radio today. And yeah, I've heard about stories from friends but most of those who are close to me do not have this problem. Their only worry is that they can no longer go out and date other girls/guys.

I haven't been married nor have I gotten close to being married... anyway, yes, I'm afraid of getting married. Somehow the thought of having someone else outside your parents run your life appalls me. I hate having to answer to my mother each time I go out of the house, I don't want to have myself do that again.
