“… want her in my life.”

Interesting way to frame it.

You’re not saying, “I want to be with her forever.” You’re also not telling us, “I am too scared to lose her to try anything else.”

If this doubt is big – and it’s starting to take over the happy part of your relationship – you should talk to her about it. Perhaps she’s been feeling this way, too. Maybe it’s time to experience life on your own.

I know couples who met in high school who seem very happily married, and when I ask about it – because I am nosy – they often share that they took a six-month break when they were young to prioritize themselves.

It wasn’t just about finding other people to make out with, it was about making choices based on no one else. 

Often, these couples wound up staying in touch and getting back together.

If you can’t let it rest, talk about it.

If not now, when?
