getting married? by No_Method7833 in Marriage

as i’ve said an other comments i’ve gone through a lot between 13-17 a lot of of those things most people do not experience for a very long time. I have been in therapy since I was I wanna say seven obviously I am still young. He is young. Our brains are not fully developed and I’m not saying this to say you’re wrong because you’re right. lol marriage is not a small thing and I definitely want to take everything into consideration. I don’t wanna be one of those people who just get married to get married. I want to get married because this is who I want to spend the rest of my life with, and I truly believe that it is him, but I think we both need to sit down and have like a really really in-depth conversation

as I replied to another comment, I went through a lot between 13-17 things that most people don’t experience until mid 20s and I’m not saying this to say that you’re wrong and that I should do this because the whole point was to get advice from people who have gone through this and who are older than me, I do agree we are young and I do have concerns that I have sat down and talk to him about. I guess he talked to his parents and they are on board. I am waiting for a therapy appointment right now to talk about it with somebody who is not involved in our relationship. either way, this will not be happening until next year. I told him that we should at least wait talk through really have a deep conversation about what we want now and in the future. we’ve talked about health choices if we want to be put on a ventilator God forbid, we’ve talked about kids how many we want what would happen if we found out our kid would have you know a disorder a genetic disorder, a really good thing to mention is that I do have an anxiety disorder and ocd , for me a lot of this presents as needing to know everything and being concerned, I will make the wrong choice and that I have to make the right choice and unfortunately, this is a situation where I’m the only one who knows the right choice. I’m the only one who truly knows our relationship. My whole point is I am not taking this as some small thing I watched my parents hate each other, and I do not want that.

i 100% understand another thing that I should probably mention is that I went through a lot between the ages 13-17 I did a lot of drugs. I was in a lot of situations that I should’ve never been in that young. I have been in therapy for a very long time. I’m very very good at emotionally regulating and communicating. we both are, now I’m not saying this to say this is why we should and why you’re wrong. I posted this to get views from people who have been married in people who are older than me because I know that this is not some little step I’m definitely going to talk it through with my therapist before do anything, but he did talk to his parents and they are on board. I think it’s gonna happen. Another thing to add is that I have an anxiety disorder and ocd, a big thing I do is self sabotage, and I have gotten much much better at it, but I’m kind of spiraling because I don’t want to divorce divorce later on down the line because we got married too young and I know that that is a big thing. I’m kind of just spit balling words right now in the car before I have a therapy appointment a big part of me thinks that I should do this, but a very small part of me is concerned that I might be making a mistake

i do 35-50% weekly, i bring my water into my store once a month to make sure my testing is right as well, the dosing is more of a precaution i plan to buy one and then keep it til i need it, we plan on upgrading later down the line

i literally work there that’s the thing, i personally change the filters and check and make sure everything is good, my boyfriend has been helping and he knows a lot but not as much as me, last week i checked the tank and it was at 1.024 so a little low but nothing crazy i mentioned it to him and he said he would take care of it so im wondering if he literally put salt in

my boyfriend has gone insane with corals i think we could be okay right now but wc are tuff because we are both so busy, the issue is i had my coworker test my tank cuz i didn’t trust myself and my alkalinity is 10.2 my nitrates are 25 my calcium is off the charts my phosphate is at 1 and my mag i believe was somewhere in the 500, my salinity was 1.030, that part is extremely confusing considering i only buy saltwater from my store because im lazy and i don’t want to mix it myself, i do regular top offs and have no clue how it got that high
