KGirl - one year later con't

Yes, Maybell, that sounds like a good gift! Being in a "relationship" in high school is so different, and I think that starting point combined with the inertia ended up being not a good recipe for success. One date and then "Will you go out with me?" means you're now BF/GF in high school.

Labug - well, looking back at it now, no, I don't think he ever did fully commit. I thought he did at various points in time and thought for sure he did when he proposed and we got married. But as you said, I think it was just going through the motions of what he thought he should do next, and in his words, "avoiding the fear of being alone."
