Should i marry him or step away ?

Hey everyone I'm in a bit of a bind. I been with my boyfriend for a long time now and we are both happy right now. I love him with all my heart and we plan to be marry soon. Here's the thing I'm so confused and scared maybe it won't work and I'm wasting my time . I can't seem to let go of the past. Or past hasn't been the best . Our first time moving in together consist of me moving across states to live with him away from all my family and friends. I was so happy at first then I got really home sick. Well three months later I come home from work and all his stuff was gone saying I would have to leave by this date bec he didn't pay rent for the next month. (Knowing I couldn't afford it on my own) then I did what I did best I ran back home . Then I gave it another shot we talked it out I moved back with him. I then got my own place and eventually he moved in . But then things started to change he was always with his family never home and I got so feed up with it I argued all the time and again he left me when I came home he was gone . I was so upset and finally moves out my apartment and in with roommates. Now three months later he came back into my life just as I was coming to realize he was gone. He slowly is changing himself and he has shown that he has changed . I still live with my roommates but he is always here with me. Everything is great I'm saving my money and getting where I need to be just like him. But the only difference now is I see he really loves me more then ever. And I do the same. But now I'm terrified he will do the same. He keeps saying the past is the past. Can they really change or will I just end in heartache for me again ?

    Don't marry him, honey! Dump him, or at least gradually distance yourself from him. I highly recommend that you fly solo and concentrate on working on and for yourself for at least a year! If there's one thing this guy has proven it's that he's inconsistent. I think his initial stunt of moving out of ya'll first place with no communication except for a note is beyond a cowardly dickless move. Do you want to marry a man who might run out on you without a word when you're expecting his child or who might run out on you and the children?

    You can forgive him, but don't forget! Forgiveness doesn't need to mean reconciliation. The only time forgiveness means reconciliation is when it's between one and God, because let's face it God has much broader shoulders than any of us. If you forgive this guy do it for your own peace of mind and serenity, not for any other reason or reasons. I myself am Roman Catholic, but I want to make it clear that it doesn't matter if you're Catholic, Protestant, any other religion, agnostic, atheist or a combination thereof YOU DESERVE MUCH BETTER than what this guy has given you, or rather neglected to give you.

    I'm sorry honey, but that fish is bad so throw it back. Please love and respect yourself!

    That's not a great history... the impulsive and selfish thing of just packing up and leaving you alone really worries me. Especially after only a few months of first moving in. It doesn't say much for his commitment or his opinion of you, at that time.
    Yes, people can change. And sure, give him a chance to change. But don't marry him. Not yet.

    There's a saying that if something happens twice, it's sure to happen a third time. Of course that's not always true, but is it worth making such a huge commitment as marriage, when he has left you (at the drop of a hat) twice already?

    I don't think so. And besides, what's the rush? If he's changed, great! You'll have plenty of time to live together, re-establish trust and a new phase in your relationship without getting married. There's just no reason to do it yet.

    Also - how do you know for sure that you're aware of everything going on with him? ie. Could there be reasons you're not aware of, (but should be), that relate to his past behaviour?
    Good luck whatever you decide... but I don't think you should decide anything for a long time.

    Thanks everyone! I've been over thinking about everything! I guess you can say it's hard when your in love. I read all the comments and I'm still just trying to figure out how I can let him go. Don't get me wrong I tried many times but everytime he comes to my work or somehow finds me . The thing is I never felt this way about anyone. That's why I always take him back. Maybe it's my fear of seeing him with someone else. The thought of bein hurt again. Or maybe the thought of being alone. Can it be that he's younger then me . He's 22 and me 26? I keep asking him over and over again is this what u want and his answer is always the same .

      I tend to think that people don't really change much. If someone is going to make positive change they're gonna have to want it, and work towards it. Change certainly doesn't come overnight. I think OP is wasting her time with this guy!
