I think the absolute most concerning thing you've said thus far is that if it doesn't work out "we'll just get a divorce." I find it very, very disturbing that someone about to be married (I'm sorry, 6 months is about to get married), is so open to the idea of divorce. I can now completely understand why divorce rates stay at 50% when there are people willing to throw away such important vows when things get a little sticky instead of figuring out how to have a healthy, long lasting relationship now. If that is something you are seriously considering as an acceptable way out, then you need to look up the cost of a divorce lawyer now.

I know my relationship with my fiance is not typical, but we've been together for 5 years, have been engaged since Christmas and our wedding date isn't until June 2012. But, honestly, we've been through more than probably a large portion of married couples, and that's how i know we'll stay together long after I walk down that aisle. This is why I'm worried about you. You can't see the possibility that things aren't going to be perfect forever, and I'm seriously worried that the first time a real problem comes up, you're going to bail on each other rather than accept things and try to make it work. This feeling of wonderful, all encompassing to the point of distraction love won't last. It'll last probably about two years, and then what?

And in regards to your other thread about her violence. I find that really immature behavior that you need to talk to her about. What bothered me the most was that she got you fired. A) If she can dish it out, she should be willing to accept the consequences, ie, not have you covering up for her. And B) you shouldn't be burning employment bridges, because what if you couldn't get another job, what if your boss had filed charges, what if this follows you and makes it harder for you to find work in the future? To be absolutely frank, it's just plain stupid. I hate my fiance's boss at the job he's leaving, and I keep wanting to do exactly what your girlfriend did, but I won't, because my fiance doesn't want me to, and I don't want to hurt him in anyway possible. I really think Mandy should probably get into an anger management program before she ends up spending some time in jail for beating someone to a pulp.... Her past really isn't an excuse...

I'm sorry if I came off as harsh, but I'm honestly worried that you're in for a rude awakening....
