If you're so sure this is 'the one' why not just delete them?

I think your subconscious mind is telling you that something isn't quite right here, and that you've still a bit of shagging around left to do.

You're just 26 and have the rest of your life to get married. What's the hurry here?

Is it that families expect it 'since you've been together for so long'? (Don't listen to them, you'll regret it.)

Is she hassling you for children? (Plenty of time yet.)

I think people change a lot in their 20s and 30s and ought to get their growing up out of the way before entering into what should be a life-long commitment.

Agreed, but, don't get married. It's just a piece of paper.

Two things:
a) Don't forget the ex may have changed substantially (usually for the worse) since you last saw her, so just accept she's now really damaged, heavily st'd goods and that what you had back then isn't what you'd get now. This might not be the case, but if you start thinking cynically it'll work like reverse psychology and the problem will go away.
b) Get the mods to remove and delete this thread before your fiancee sees it.

Actually one last thing that may help, all joking aside, go solo whilst thinking about that particularly good session you mentioned previously. Then when you're done, who would you want to be lying in bed next to if it had been the real thing?

I have to admit, of all the people I thought might post in reply to this thread, Ewan certainly wasn't one of them!

She's not hassling me for kids - she knows that sprogs are a big no-no as far as I am concerned. Families certainly aren't pressuring us either. As far as my family is concerned I'm actually quite late in terms of the marriage game - most of my relatives got married between the ages of 22 - 24.

Just because I've not been in a relationship er.. recently, doesn't mean I don't know how things work. I've been paying attention to all the difficulties friends have been through and trust me, this sort of thing is more common than you'd think.

I reckon you've been a bit struck there.
That is a massive, massive face- not at all easy on the eye.
Forget about her. Honestly- once the sex becomes mundane- all you'll be left with is this huge grotesque head haunting every aspect of your life.

You never know, this might be a slow-burning thread - in three years I might update by saying the marriage is over and I'm back inside a big-breasted beauty biggrin

Do you actually have any ex girlfriends?
