A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I have a question... Is it unhealthy to never date anyone but one person in your life? Let me explain.. I've been with my boyfriend for about a year and a half and we love each other very much. I never dated, kissed, or made love with anyone else except with him. He however has slept with a few girls and has dated a few also. He's told me that I'm the one for him and, although it may be premature to say, I'm pretty sure I'm going to marry him one day too.

But do you think that is is weird or unhealthy or even stupid to never date anyone else? Some people told me that I don't even know what's out there and how could I settle down with a person when I have no other experience to compare? Even my boyfriend has asked me if I would be okay if I never dated anyone else if we were to get married and I told him I was fine with it.

I love my boyfriend very much and I don't want to date anyone else at the moment and I think I would be very happy only having dated him but are people right about what they're telling me? Thanks for your opinions.

Think of it this way... if you won $1,000,000 on a scratchie would you go scratching 100 other tickets just to check what they had on them?

Nope -- you'd realise you hit the jackpot.

You don't need to go kissing 100 frogs to realise you've got a prince... just accept that you're one of those rare lucky ones that got it first go.

Just enjoy it!

broken babe agony auntits not unhealthy in anyway it just means you had a good choice if it helps sit there and compare your boyfriend to someone else like instead of giving me this man #2 would have got this... the first boy i kissed made love to and dated is my current boyfriend who ive been with for a long time he loves me with all his heart and hes dated a dozen girls before me but he says thats what makes me more speciel he says they were a waste of time mostly because he has me now and he only loves me the other girls didnt seem right with him (not saying they were crazy i mean they didnt make good girlfriends)

Frank B Kermit agony auntPeople will tell you what they want to hear, and could just be trying to hurt your relationship becuase they are JEALOUS of you being so happy.

It is not unhealthy...it is just different.

Are you unhappy? If so, date other people.

ARe you happy with this arrangement? If so, stick with him, and to hell with others that would be just as glad to see you miserable.

dont_worry agony auntthere are many guys out there and maybe your friends are right, how do you know your boyfriend is the one? If you dont know what's out there? You don't even know what you really need

Don't misunderstand me, if you are truly happy with your boyfriend then don't even doubt about it but think it twice because you are losing many chances to be happy with someone else..

who knows?
