Asking for a friend: ‘I’m in my mid-20s and my boyfriend of four years recently proposed, but just doesn’t feel right. What should I do?’
Q: I feel really embarrassed writing to you, and I’m not sure if my feelings are justified or not. I’m in my mid-20s and basically have exactly what I want, but it just doesn’t feel right. I have a great job and live with my boyfriend. We have been going out for four years, and it’s been really good. There have been no major arguments, and we communicate quite well, at least I think so. We met in our last year of college and it was really great to be at the same stages in our lives and careers. A month ago, he proposed. It was a huge event — he took me to our favourite restaurant and got the waiters to bring out flowers and champagne when he went down on one knee. The whole restaurant was watching and clapped for us. I said yes and felt very excited and showed off the ring to my family as soon as I could. Everyone was so happy for us and said they knew we would end up getting married. But now that things have settled down a bit, I can’t seem to shake the feeling that I am not sure about this. My fiancé is a great person, so I don’t know why I feel like this is the wrong thing. What should I do?
