You are the type of man that every woman dreams of and hopes for. I have a partner like you, the only difference being that I will never marry again, I was far too controlled and abused to be able to step into another situation that I was told "I own you! You're bought and paid for and I can do whatever I want"...I will never get over that and will never marry...though I am committed to my man and he me,

I know what your fiance is going through, it's that PTSD that stops me from ever wanting to be married again. I am free to come & go as I please and no one will ever own me again.

Your fiance would have similar feelings even if she can't identify them, even if she can't put her finger on what it is that is spooking her she will become what I call a relationship claustrophobic or a marriage claustrophobic. If you keep this in mind and understand that it may take a while for her to feel really comfortable, you may help her to work through it.

I will never change my mind though. I love my partner so very dearly but marriage is not an option...I can do the Goddess 1 year committment and I may do it every year for the rest of my life but that is as far as it goes...

I really wish you good luck and good love; you obviously love her very very much, and she is a very lucky lady,
