Not the Marrying Type

I admit... I was really not the marrying type. Pretty unusual coming from a girl's point of view.

Originally, my plan was to have a boyfriend, see if we compliment each other, live together under the same roof for two years and if everything turns out good then that's the only time we get married. But of course my parents wouldn't allow me to that... but I thought... maybe if I have a stable job, my finances are ok, my whole life is at ease then they will reconsider.

Ever since high school my mind was set that way. So, several relations have passed, but still, no one was a live-in partner material. All my ex-boyfriends knew what my plan was. I even left my first boyfriend when he asked me to get married. Although that was not the main reason, that was one of the factors that triggered me to do so.

Anyway, all of these changed when I met my husband. After a few dates, we became a couple. There was something different about our relationship but I don't know what. When he asked me to get married, without second thoughts, I said yes. The way he proposed wasn't even that sweet. Just casual. That was totally different from my past relationship because when I heard it from my ex I almost jumped out of the car and almost ended the relationship that instant.

I've been asked for several marriage proposals but denied it all. I only considered those two the serious proposals and the others are kids stuff for me or I feel like they just want me to hear that so they can prove how much they like/love me, which is not the right reason for me.

When my friends found out that I'm already getting married, they were all shocked since I was the second in our group to get married. I was even labeled as "pro-live-in" by my friends, then there I was walking down the aisle six months after the proposal.

To sum it all up, I guess you really can't tell if you're the marrying type or not. Maybe it really depends you think it's the right time, the right moment and most especially if it's the right person.
