    i have this feeling that marriage is an important part to every human being in this planet, but i think there is a problem with me.
    whenever i get into a relationship with a woman i get bored the first week even without having sex with them. this has happened to three ladies so far. i dont know what is wrong with me.
    and yet marriage is a life long commitment. will i really manage?.

    You need to relax. There is somebody for everybody. My guess is that you are too preoccupied with finding someone that you find yourself with the wrong person. Relax and be yourself.

    I was going to suggest the same thing, only I can't move the thread. Now I feel so inadequate and useless, I'm going to have to start my own thread over there.

    Take your time OP, it's just a case of finding someone right, chances are the harder you look the less you'll find.

    do you have friends that you have stayed friends with
    over a long time period and not gottne bored with

    its similiar.

    in a long term relationship you shouldnt spend 24/7 with someone
    or you will prob get sick of them

    but since you will spend 9-5 in work, time in gym, hobbies
    you wont see them all the time and the time you do spend with
    them you will look forward to

    I donot think you should be looking at the marriage question until you work out why you get bored with them.

    What exactly OP gets you bored with somenoe within the first week? Though one cannot exactly call the first week a "relationship".

    Fear of Commitment switches you off perhaps? the very fact that you are still talking to eachother after the first encounter begets a relationship, which begets some semblance of committment..... (?)

    I think your thinking too far ahead, dont worry about it now...when you meet the right woman its different, youll click with her..dont worry about these ones that you obviously arent clicking with, whetehr having sex with them or not.

    And not a single one of the people who've lived productive, happy lives without marrying work as a counter-example to this for you? Why?

    That's not a relationship

    So you've very briefly dated three women.

    This is so far from not telling you anything as to not be worth mentioning.

    Either what's wrong with you is that you expect to somehow form deeply meaningful relationships with just about anyone, or that you've a deeply artificial view of marriage as important in and of itself without much regard to who you are marrying. Probably both.

    You seem to be making this life-long commitment to a hypothetical person.

    Why do you even expect to.

    There are cultures where arranged marriages happen and they actually tend to work very well a lot of the time, though disastrously other times.

    There are cultures where marriage is a decision that is made in the course of a relationship and they actually tend to work very well a lot of the time, though disastrously other times.

    There are people in a position where they have strong enough connections to two or more cultures with differing views on betrothal and who then are in a position to choose between the advantages and disadvantages of these two (along with personal matters as to which culture they feel closer to, parental expectation and so on).

    You seem to have manage to somehow found yourself dealing with a very strange combination of some features of arranged marriage (because you've apparently got this marriage due to happen at some point in your life) and of arrived-at marriage (because you don't have a fiancée arranged for you) and I'm at a loss as to how you came to this.
