engagement

I'm glad I came across this page tonight because I feel totally blindsided by my fiance as of the last few weeks and I could really use some outside perspective. I'll try to be as succinct as possible here so here's a bit of background info (feel free to skip it if you don't care about the...

Hi. Much to my anguish my fiance left and is living in another town. The background: I am 33 she is 26. We've been together for 3 years. I know that this doesn't sound like all that long compared to a lot of the other posts I read on here, but it has been an extremely important 3 years of my...

Hi everyone, I wanted to get married people’s opinions on this. I'm dating my boyfriend of almost a year and we've talked in depth about getting engaged. It'll probably happen in the next four months, but the problem is I'm having some doubts. I wanted advice to see if these are normal or if I...

I am 19, and my boyfriend is 23. Currently i'm in college and he is working his way up through the ranks of a car wash (he didn't go to college). At the moment we can't afford our own place, so we are living with my mother. She is recently divorced and completely insane, as well as...

Hi ladies, I'm a 21 year old senior in college (graduating in May) and my boyfriend and I have been together for 7 & a half years (since our freshman year of high school). He's 22 and graduates December of 2012, as his program requires an extra semester. He's gotten to where he'll tell me that...

Ok, really not how to start these out, and I just joined today, because I really dont know where else to turn to for advice. Over 3 years ago when me and my ex started dating I was 22 and she was 19. 2 months later, she became pregnant. I was there for her for the first 5 months while she was...

Hi everyone, Guess I'm new here. The name of this thread is probably not what you think. My problem is, if I get married, I'll no longer have a source of income. I'll elaborate. My name is Andrea and I'm 24, my fiance is Ryan and he's 27. We met and fell in love when I was 20, he proposed to...

My fiance doesn't want to discuss finances. He says he wants to keep separate bank accounts and I think this is because he doesn't make much money. He doesn't tell me how much he makes and he says it has nothing to do with love. I want to marry him but I want him to give his paycheck to me so...

I am hoping for some advice. I have been with my boyfriend for almost 6 years. We knew each other for about 8 years. Most of the time, our relationship has been long distance, but it seemed to work for us. We were able to develop strong communication skills and grow closer through it. The...

My situation is very complicated so I'll try to get to the point as quickly as possible. I apologize for the wordiness, but I think all of this is very relevant and at least an entertaining read for the drama that is my life. Ultimately, the current state of things has me certainly doubting if...

Hello all, I am new to the forums and still have yet to master the art of a thread title. It might be a little misleading, but I hope to stay close to the topic. Basically, in a nut shell, I am having a hard time judging where my relationship of 3 years is at, and where my boyfriend stands in...
