Suddenly Nervous about settling down?

've been with the same woman for 3 years now, living together for a while. I asked her to marry me, she said yes and we are planning an engagement party.

She is great. We have a great relationship, she gets me, thinks my nerdiness is cute and is completely okay with me being a bit "hefty" while she is fit....(I'm going to try an lose 30lbs though). I love her. We fit...even when it comes to what jobs to do around the house. I'm saying all this to say...we don't have problems, just so you understand where I am coming from.

Recently I started having second thoughts, not about her as a person, but I'm scared were going to divorce years later. I even had nightmares about her leaving me.
I'm literally become scared that we aren't always going to be like this and that in 7-10 years something is going to happen and cause us to break up.
Or I'm going to lose my job and not be able to afford the mortgage.
Or were going to have kids and fight about how to raise them (we've had conversations about our parenting styles and so far so good).
Or something is going to happen...something that just splits us. I've even been scared our kids will come out with health problems.
Or she'll find a better looking/fit guy and wanna get with him.
I'm freaking out suddenly and I don't know why. Its like I'm worried we haven't talked enough or that maybe all our serious discussions weren't enough. We've missed something.


I've talked to her about my fears and she says she isn't going anywhere and that if something does happen we'll deal with it when it does.

What am I missing?
