I was completely on cloud 9 and couldn’t believe how ‘in love’ I felt with M I just wanted to marry him and spend the rest of my life with him.įast forward again to last summer when we started talking about getting engaged, and I felt like my life was turned upside down the anxiety hit me out of nowhere, and I suddenly didn’t know what I wanted anymore. We started dating, and moved in together about 6 months later. Well, fast forward a couple of years (I’ll give him credit – he was definitely persistent and knew what he wanted!), and through a series of events centered around my health, I began to see M as more than just a friend. I put him in the ‘friend zone,’ and continued to date other people. The attraction was definitely one-sided at first: M was crazy about me, and knew that he wanted us to be together as soon as he met me. He knew everything about me, including things that I had never told anyone before (I joke with him now that he must be a special person if he knows everything about me, and still loves me anyway □ haha). He was always my rock, and the best friend that I had ever had, bar none. He was the first person I would call when anything good or bad would happen, and he was the person I knew would always be there when I needed him. As a little bit of a backstory, M and I have been best friends for many years. I found Sheryl’s work and this forum last June, about 2 months before M and I got engaged. Our society may try to tell you that you are alone, and that ‘doubt means don’t,’ but all you have to do is look at the plethora of movies and celebrity marriages focusing on the ‘butterflies’ feeling of being ‘head over heels in love’ (which then subsequently end a few months later when one partner ‘falls out of love’) to realize that our perceptions about love are completely skewed and out of whack! I know that it can feel like you’re the only person going through the terrible doubt and anxiety, but please know that you’re not alone. On the one year anniversary of getting engaged to M, I just wanted to drop back in and share some perspective that I’ve gained in the past year in the hopes that it may help some of the new folks on this board.

We work to maintain a clean forum by deleting less useful threads, renaming badly-named threads, and moving the more useful posts to the top. TAs and/or other students will help guide you to finding the issue on your own (one of the most important skills in becoming a proficient coder), but will never debug your code or provide the solution.Posts should not contain code to be debugged or analyzed for you (unless a TA requests that you post a specific code snippet to help identify a more subtle issue). If you are posting regarding an issue encountered while coding an exercise, you should post a description of the problem and/or actual error you encounter. Questions should be conceptual and general.Please do not hijack threads to ask irrelevant questions. Every question/topic should be posted in its own thread (either existing or new). 1.2 constexpr constructor does not initialize all members.
