Ask Greta

Dear Greta ,
I am a 22 year old man , engaged to a 25 year old woman . I love her dearly , but I have one problem - I ' m scared to death of getting married . My fiance has already been married once , and her divorce wasn ' t exactly pretty . Although she says she ' s willing to try again , I ' m not sure I ' m ready to take that big step . I asked her to marry me last September , but now it seems as if the cold-feet syndrome is kicking in . Am I foolish for being this nervous ? Should I just call the whole thing off and risk losing the woman I love ? Please help .

Dear Cold Feet ,
If it is merely a case of cold feet , then I ' d say that ' s normal . However , if you have doubts about making such a lifetime commitment at this time , then you need to explore this . Before saying anything to your fiance , sit down and think long and hard about what exactly is bothering you . If it ' s simply a matter of some irritating habits of hers , then ask yourself if you feel you can live with those habits without letting them get your goat , so to speak . If you can , then fine , it is simply cold feet and those tiny habits are nothing to really worry about . If , however , you are attracted to someone else or you suspect she is , I strongly suggest you take some more time before walking down the aisle . Good luck to both of you !
