Ah, love: my favorite subject. It should come as no surprise that I have no answers. Your problems – namely his uncertainty – are not unique. I can relate to your feeling of “this is not entirely right” and “something in my heart is driving me to do it anyway.” The cynical view is that when it feels “right” we run away frightened, when it feels “wrong” we chase after it like curious cats. But I’m really not a cynic and cheer you on to follow your heart.
For better or for worse, I live with a strong consciousness of death, and, as a side effect of having studied archaeology, a painful awareness of how quickly 80 to 90 years fly by. For me, loving and passion are important factors in enjoying those years, and, more importantly, achieving a happy mental disposition that may add a few years to my life. I appreciate that there are different kinds of people in the world, and (and here’s the bad news) good people are not necessarily passionate, just as (here’s the good news) passionate people are not necessarily bad.
