I’m 24, and about to get engaged. I love my girlfriend, but I just don’t feel grown up enough. The realization came last night, when we were cleaning her house (we don’t live together). It was Sunday night after a long weekend, and her house was pretty clean to start with. But we cleaned for two hours. I’m not sure we even spoke to each other, not out of anger, but because in my head all I could think about was how my life is going to be so different. I live in a 800sf house, and love it. My house is just a box with a bed, couch, tv, and a washer/dryer. If I successfully keep up on laundry and dishes I never spend more than 15 minutes cleaning it. At the end of the day, I don’t feel ready to dedicate my life to keep a house as clean as possible, or making sure my grass has the best lines in town, or spending insane amounts of money on different throw pillows for different times of years. I’d rather live like I do now. I just clean as fast as I can, my house stays at 85% clean, but I get to spend a majority of my time doing my hobbies like working out and fishing. I feel like a child. I can’t come to a logical conclusion that I should be excited for the “honey do” list. I love my girlfriend tho submitted by /u/Superb-Screen-1246
