If you are not secure and confident enough to know in your heart, what you need and want in a relationship, and are asking others, their advice, then you should rethink things. Are you ready for a relationship?
The fact that you are asking outsiders, what they think is a sign in itself that you may know the real truth about it, but are looking for reassurance about the decision you know, you need to make. Instead of rehashing the details with family and friends,
it’s advisable to talk to your partner/lover about, where your relationship stands. Honesty comes from being responsible in any and every challenges in a relationship.
It's why so many relationships end up in a bad way because, of too many interference from others. ~ Author Life-Changing Decisions.
