So I really need some help making the right decision here. I’ve been reading. FDS for a while and really trying to apply the principles to my life. I discovered FDS while in a relationship and I’d like to believe my boyfriend is constantly working on improving himself (which he has stated himself). We’ve green through a lot especially during phases where I had mental health issues that. Presented challenges to our relationship. We’re at a point now where we’re talking about engagement and getting married and starting a family and I’m starting to wonder if I can do it. Some info:

-he’s 12 years older , but when we met he didn’t pursue me because I was young, does that make it not a red flag, the age difference in this situation? -he has no friends and he’s going against his moms wishes marrying me so if we get married they won’t be in our lives -we used to be on and off but are both actively working on ourselves through individual therapy to break our toxic habits

I’m so in love with this man and I’m trying everything to make it work, but idk if it’s too much work for me to be signing up for at 26.
