If it doesn’t work, then you’ll know that you weren’t ready.

If I’m not in the right place emotionally or mentally, how can I be sure that my partner will be able to help me get there?

I don’t think anyone can “make” someone else change their mind about something they don’t want to do. But what partners can do is provide support and encouragement when needed
