Pros: freedom to be myself, no more walking on eggshells, opportunity for more self growth, being able to focus on my dreams/goals

Cons: feeling of failure, dealing with family reactions will be hard, don’t want to hurt him, not being there to be a buffer when he loses his temper with the girls

I just want to be happy and fulfilled. I’m not worried about doing everything alone because I already do most everything alone. If I am going to be married, I want my husband to be a true partner, support me emotionally, and to make me feel like I matter.
