Let me preface this by saying that agreeing to marry FH is the best decision of my life and I couldn't be happier or more excited. Life is amazing!

But does anyone else have moments of FOMO in regards to getting married? I'm not talking about never being in a relationship with another person. More like, now all my major life decisions are vetted through another person. As a single person, I could quit my job and move on a whim. Now, not so much. Sometimes I think too hard about that and freak out!

I'm not at all worried about those feelings, and I cannot wait to start a family with FH and settle in and do our thang. Even the monotonous stuff is better with him, and we certainly have our share of adventures. Just wondering if anyone else has those feelings, too?

    I never feel like that with FH. We got together when we were in our 30s so we’ve already dated a bunch of people, done the single thing, and we were ready for this. I never wish I was single. I loved being single when I was single, but I love this part of my life now and wouldn’t want it any other way.

    When I was younger and dating a S/O who wasn't the right one, yes. (Please don't take this as me saying that you and FH aren't "right" for each other, this was just my experience!)

    With FH, I don't have those thoughts at all. He and I are a team, and we enjoy spending time together. We both make sacrifices sometimes (me having every Sunday dedicated to football, him eating sushi), but we also have no problem going off and doing our own thing with friends if that's what suits us.

    Nope. We both lived crazy lives before each other and got it all out of our systems. Neither of us are interested in those party days anymore. Whatever we still want to do we'll do together.

    @Enchanted, I'm glad you bring up the anxiety vs. red flag. My anxiety has been very intense for awhile, and I KNOW this isn't a red flag kind of thing. I've known I was going to marry him since our third week of dating. Sometimes I just can't settle the thoughts.

    Yes, absolutely. H and I get along really well the vast majority of the time, but we do have totally different interests that don't always mesh easily. I love to travel and would love to do a weekend trip every month, H is more of a once or twice a year is plenty kind of person. Although I've been at my work 7 years, I liked knowing I *could* leave any time and start over somewhere new if I wanted to, but H dreads change where I embrace it, so it's going to be easier said than done from now on.

    Obviously I adore H and knew all this going in, but there are definitely moments of concern about how different life is now.
