She's going to drive him away...

My youngest sister is a serial monogamist.  The last three guys have been the love of her life.  Guy 1 was very Republican and she is not.  They were not a match, but she desperately tried to make him one.  Guy number 2 was Born Again and she is not.  They were not a match, but she desperately tried to make him one.  This Guy, who I am calling FBIL, is great (educated, free-thinking like her, a sweetheart and good looking) - but she's going to ruin it!!

She is planning their wedding for the end of this year and they are NOT EVEN engaged.  They've only been together a few months.  Although I think FBIL would like to marry her, Honey Child should wait until he has popped the question, dontcha think?

I guess she feels like her big sisters are married with kids and she needs to catch up.  She's only 25.  I just don't understand the rush.  It's like she wants to catch him before she finds his dealbreaker...only she's going to become a dealbreaker.

Ay yi yi.

Re: She's going to drive him away...

  • Oh dear.  She really needs to STOP planning if they're not engaged yet.  That's one of the surefire ways to scare any guy off.  Wow.

  • Poor thing.  I have seen this more than once and it only ends in heartache.  I hope she finds a way to pump the breaks and slow her roll a little. Have they even discussed marriage?
  • Eeek.  The planning of a wedding that isn't even for sure yet is definitely going to drive him away.  She is still young and should just let this ride its course, it might end up turning out the way she wants it to just not as soon as she wants it to.

  • Oh that is so hard to watch, and honeslty there is no reasoning with that midset.  I hope it works out 1!
  • Oh geez. She needs to calm the f down!

    Def. this.

     Funny story: I have a college friend who does this.  Right now she found her match who is like her and they have rushed into an engagement.  But in college, she was dumped for getting WAY serious WAY fast.  One guy found her book full of baby names she had liked - she had written them with his last name to see how they looked/sounded.  Yeah.  Crazy.

  • Is she "planning" as in dreaming, or as in putting down deposits?

    Weird.

  • Uh-Oh Spaghetti-os!!!  That does not sound good! She needs to simmer down and just let it go with the flow!
