Dont know about relationship

    I've been with my girlfriend for 5 years. I love her very much.

    We have talked about marriage and kids before, but for me it was always sometime in the future, no real time-frame for it. We recently had a proper discussion about it, and she had very specific thoughts about it. I don't blame her, we have been together for so long.

    The thing is, this is the only relationship either of us have been in, and I am not 100% sure that this is the woman I want to marry.

    On the other hand, our relationship is good in the sense that we have a laugh together and have lots in common. We have both got to know each other's families and have made mutual friends, so if we broke up it would be difficult for them too.

    I am between two minds- stick it out and see what happens, or break up and give both of us a chance to grow up a bit (we were quite young when we got together).

    I am completely at a loss about this at the moment. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Regardless of the longevity of your relationship or friends and relatives - you are talking about making a commitment for the rest of your life. That is too important a decision to make for the sake of other people. If you don't see yourself getting married any time soon then lay your cards on the table...don't just go along with it or you could end up frustrated and resentful further down the line.

    All the best.
