Hey everyone,
I’m 31 and getting married in a few months and while I’m happy and love my partner, I’m feeling overwhelmed with fear and uncertainty. Both of us still live with our parents, and the thought of finally moving out, living together, and officially starting our lives as a married couple is… very scary for me.
I’m scared of everything changing—my routine, my lifestyle, my comfort zone. I’ve lived this way for so long, my parents and sister are my best friends and I know it’s time for growth, but I also feel frozen by fear. I worry that marriage will change everything in a way I’m not ready for, even though I know deep down it’s a step I want to take with him. In reality I will probably only live 10 minutes away from family whereas he is moving cities.
Has anyone else felt like this before getting married or moving in with their partner for the first time? How did you deal with those nerves and the fear of change? I’d love to hear stories—especially the ones that turned out better than expected.
Thank you in advance. It helps just getting this out there.
