Thanks for sharing your experiences Spoc and Micheal Ivan.
It's getting to the point where I need to talk to my boyfriend about why I am not ready to get married right now. It is still definitely an option, but everyone keeps bugging us about it, and mostly him, when in reality, I am the one who is not ready. I don't really think he knows how much his depression/mood swings affect me, since I seem stable all the time. I want to tell him, so that I'm not leaving him hanging, and so we can start to work on things together, but I'm not sure exactly what to say. I don't want it to seem like I'm attacking him for things that are out of control, or criticizing him. However, I feel like I need to let him know how he affects me, and how I am really afraid of how these things could affect our life together. Any tips on what to say, or what not to say?
