Dear Diana,
The girl I like acts strange when I broach the subject of marriage. She is 26 and I am 32. She claims to love me, but any talk about taking the relationship to the next level upsets her. She used to be a different girl initially, but lately she doesn’t seem to be comfortable with the subject of marriage. Earlier, when I used to speak about it, she had even set a deadline of two years. Our families have no objection with our choice, but she’s the one who is suddenly having cold feet now. I’ve tried to talk to her to open up about what she feels, but she keeps saying she loves me, but won’t marry. What is going on in her mind? Is she commitment phobic or is there someone else on her scene? We have been together for over two years.
