Q: Dear DG,

So when I'm with him, I'm like, "He's so wonderful! I'm sure he's the one!" and then when I'm not with him, I'm like, "Maybe he's not the one, or maybe he is... or maybe that guy is the one, or maybe i should just look on match.com for the one... or, no, he's the one, I love him and I can't live without him, and there's no better guy for me, yeah, he's the one......I think". DG, is this normal? I'm 25 and I've been with 'him' for 1yr7mo. I think I'm just starting to freak out because EVERYONE keeps asking when we're getting married... but I don't know. I haven't met anyone else I'd rather be with, but do my doubts mean he's not the one? I really really don't want to be without him, but I'm worried that we could just stay together, get married and then my doubts resurface and, that just can't happen because I believe marriage is a one time thing... but how do you know?

Thanks DG

A: If you have doubts, they’re coming from somewhere. You have to investigate where they’re coming from and figure out if those things are worth compromising or if someone without those things will be better for you.

So if he talks with his mouth full and you can’t stand it and don’t want to take him out and you’re embarrassed of him, then you need to decide if you can live with that. if you can, great. if you can’t, then you should see how many other things like this there are.

If there are too many, it won’t work.

Another way to do it – what are your top priorities in a husband? Smart, funny, nice, respectable and respectful, etc. If he has all those things, then the little things should be little enough to not make a dent.

Hope that helps!

Let me know.

Love the Madness,
DG
