Hello all.

I'm a 21 year old female with anxiety, depression, and a few other issues and I've been dating a 23 (24 at the end of the month) year old male for the past 7 months.

Right off the bat we've had some complications including him not telling me he was still married until three months into our relationship. He's still working on getting the divorce, and I believe he'll get it.

He can be cynical when it comes to relationships now and it makes me sad. I grew up with parents who are very much in love and have been together since they were 19 and 20, all my aunts and uncles, grandparents and all my cousins but one are happily married and have been for many years. My brother is in the same boat so I've SEEN relationships that work, and that last. I believe it just takes two people who are 100% committed to each other and who are aware that it won't always be rainbows and sunshine but hard work, but worth the work because of how much you love and want to share your life with the other person.

We were having a serious talk the other night about our relationship and he said something that broke my heart. He said he doesn't thin he'll ever want to get married again. Not that I'm thinking about getting married any time soon because I'm way too young in my opinion and no where near ready, but I'd certainly like marriage to be an option in the future. After I shared my concerns with him he said "we don't know what the future holds, we could both change, I could change my mind. For now, I just want to enjoy being happy and loving you for as long as you'll let me" and it was kind of left at that.

Am I wasting my time? I love him, I'm just worried it's not going where I want it to. And he said he doesn't want kids which is also something I can see myself wanting in the future. I'm just so lost.
