I'm curious to know... why are so many men affarid of Marriage? I've been with this same guy for almost 8 yrs and still to this day no engagment or any signs of moving pass bf/gf what should I do? He says its because he wants me to change, but I've been the same since he met me. Why is it that people think that they can change you to whom they want you to be. Should I change to accommodate him so that I can finally get what I want or just kick rocks and move around? I love him, but the love that is returned is not the same.

actually its not only men afraid of marriage..sometimes women also... maybe the guy just want you to change for good...so why dont you try to change for good... but if it is for bad, dont do it...if you really love him try to change yourself like me...i have change for good just for my guy..but it's not only my guy benefited my change but also myself...

Friendship can last long. You can have lifelong friends who can be there when you need them but having a life partner is different. I think you should reconsider your feelings to your partner. Life is not long. Be firm with what you want. You need a life too.

actually i have a friend who is a girl.... the guy offered her marriage but this lady didnt accept the proposal of the guy that's why i know it's not only men who are afraid of the M-word....i do not know really your guy... it's just i know what are the boys thinking... and its not only my guy who said that i should change for better, but most of my friends advise me to change some things that needs improvement...but it's up to you if you follow my advice...just always remember, regrets always start when it is too late...

I guess It is just so... final. lol. People say well its not, you have "divorce" but I am old fashioned and think that should be the last choice. So, when men are thinking about marriage its not just "I don't think it's the right time" or anything. Sometimes we just want to make sure if we are going to go through with it. We are making the right choice. You know?
