Fear of Missing Out

My boyfriend lived a very fun and carefree single life in his early 20’s before dating me. I however jumped from one relationship quickly into my current relationship, never having had those fun single years to be on my own. Did I miss out? I keep comparing my past with my boyfriend’s past and feel like I missed out on a piece of life. Advice?

I think really this is just up to you. It's up to what you want now in your life. There's not a right or wrong answer to this, and that's freeing, but also makes it more difficult to discern what you like. There is unquestionably freedom and simplicity in singleness. And, you are being good to carefully consider if you want to give that up. It's probably a good idea to discuss this carefully with your partner as openly as you can. But, don't let him decide for you. It is your life and you get to do what is best for you.

Thank you for sharing. I am glad you are hear. Keep thinking, keep talking, and remember - you are most important.

Best wishes.
