Mike, I could not have said it better. I feel the same away...I always feel they would be better off without me..ugh the guilt! It sucks to have my dignity taken away when i am sick or vomiting or in the hospital. I am 40 now and have been in and out of many relationships. When I was 23 the world was open to me and I really could care less if I had a partner...my friends were enough at times. Carly, if you are not sure then do not get married. You are really young (what is the rush)? Now that I am older I am looking to get married and settle down and start a family. It took me until I was 38 to find my soulmate but I am deeply in love and very happy. Don't settle...find your perfect match.
