    Well... if you're not absolutely crazy about her, then don't get married, and especially if you aren't living with each other yet. But if you do decide to go through with it, move in with her and see how things go first. I know way too many people who basically lived separate lives from their Girlfriends, never lived with each other, then when they did get hitched and moved in, they found all this stuff out about the person they thought they knew. Either that or they couldn't stand being around each other 24/7. It would be good to find that stuff out in advance.

    Just chimed in. I was in the same boat as you, and I waited for about 6 months or so. The thing is, if she really is the girl of your dreams, are you willing to spend the rest of your lives together fighting? I'd think about that for a while.

    Also, if everything is really good except for the fights, I would recommend you guys go through some marriage counseling prior to getting married. If you two believe there is some hope, then counseling is a very good option. Just check your egos at the door.;)

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    I gotta to agree with hotdog. By the sounds of things, you have been fighting of superfluous bullshit (the little things). You are under a lot of stress due to your injury/work situation and she is under a lot of stress from her school work load. If you love her the way you say you do then talk to her. Take a break until things calm down with the both of your situations.

    Huh....well there's the side that you could be getting back together or give it to somebody else someday but...

    You could buy a S/C, trd cai, trd exhaust, lift, rims.......

    Or S/C, cai, exhaust, and bank the rest. The market may be kinda stable but it's not gonna be this stable (or this low) forever, I hope.

    I sure as hell wouldn't get back with the girl. it's easier to do the on/off thing single than married/divorced/married/divorced.

    Move on. keep the ring. Sell it when gold goes back on the upswing. Though to be honest, it's the diamond, not the gold, that keeps the price that high. Don't give it to another girl in the future - that's asking for a break up.

    Take it from my experience. If you are fighting now, marriage isn't going to fix it. It will only get worse. She may not be the one. Like others said, Divorce is so much more expensive. Trust me there is someone out there more compatible for you. I found such a person. We were married the 1st of July after dating a year & a half. We have never had a fight.:) I have never had that with anyone.

    holy shit forgot about this thread i actually got back with her a few weeks after this. Everything was fine for a few months than it all started again alot of fighting over her mother nothing i do is good enough (her mothers tiawanese and i guess she wants her with an asian guy not my big german ass lol even though her fathers german )i actually gave her the ring back when we got back together (stupid i know) we still talk and fool around once in a while but nothin to serious . we talk about getting back together but it will never last to bad she was something special . i actually got a pretty large settlement at work from when i got hurt thats how i bought the cai and the supercharger paid my truck off and my house .
