Why did my boyfriend tell me I was too young to get married?

Question - (2 September 2008) 3 Answers - (Newest, 2 September 2008)
A female United States age 36-40, *bunny21 writes:

I don't know where this question will fit in. I have been dating my boyfriend for almost a year now and everything seems to be going pretty good. He seems very happy, I'm very happy. I'm not expecting a marriage proposal anytime soon, he's looking to go into the police academy, so that's next on his agenda. Which is fine, I have a lot of respect for him with doing that. I love him very much, and I know that he is the one I want to marry. I've never felt like this before. I'm 21 and he's 26.

We had the marriage talk, blah blah blah... Not ready, been burned before... Ok, he wants to see where we end up.

This past weekend we were talking and he started on, "You're only 21, I don't think your ready to get married."

Is this almost like a cop out??? Is he still looking for someone else? I don't know how to feel about all this now. I want to be with him and I know he will make me very happy for the rest of my life.

Some people just feel different about how old they want to be when they get hitched. most of my guy frinds can already tell me how old they will be when they get married. or it could be pressure from some of his friends making him think hes too young still.. I dont think he would be looking for someone else because you have been happy for a year alredy.

eyeswideopen agony auntAll you can do is give this some time. If he loses his interest then you'll know it's not meant to be. Marriage is a pretty damn serious step and nobody but the foolish rush into it. Just relax and enjoy your time together.

hanz1993 agony auntIt just sounds to me like he's just saying in his own way not to expect a marriage proposal soon.

But you weren't expecting it any way, so he was just making sure you new.

Try not to worry to much
