I have been living with a guy for 3 years; dating for 4 years. I love him as a whole but starting to wonder if I can live with some of his behavior/habits for the rest of my life (smoking/drinking too much sometimes/being a slob). It has gotten to the point where I am VERY critical and nag alot. Our relationship is deteriorating. I feel if I could "live and let live" we would be OK... We are also at the point where we both agree we should marry or split...though he isn't pressuring me. I feel like a ticking timebomb...

Your level of self respect will play a very large part in what you ultimately decide. You deserve a man who you can respect and who, in turn, cherishes you. Take your time building a strong friendship based on openness and honesty with someone first and get married before agreeing to live with a man rather than before. This is the time-tested and time-honored path to marital happiness and be assured, dear sister, you are very much worth it!!!<P>[This message has been edited by Murray (edited October 16, 1999).]<p>[This message has been edited by Murray (edited October 16, 1999).]
