<human>: I'm engaged. I have been for 9 months. I'm supposed to get married 9 months from now. I'm calling off my wedding because I'm not ready. I don't want to lose him or leave him, but I am not ready to get married. I've been going through a lot of family stuff and a lot of soul searching; trying to figure out who I am independently. I've been in relationships basically since I was 15. I'm afraid that I'll never know if I can stand on my own. I'm afraid I'll always be dependent on other people. I'm scared something will happen to my future husband and I won't have the tools I need to stand alone.

Am I incredibly selfish? Am I being smart? Should he stick around if he loves me? I love him. I don't know what to do or what he should do. I'm miserable and confused.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Would you wait for the person you love to be ready to get married even if you already have a wedding in the works, and you're ready yourself?
