| 7 | HVM not proposing, how do I approach this?Continue taking good care of yourself and putting yourself first! There are good men out there, so don’t settle for someone who isn’t kind, loving, supportive, generous, and excited for a life with you. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/06/20 01:10 AM |
| 23 | HVM not proposing, how do I approach this?It’s so crazy to read your comment because it’s almost spot on with how I talked about marriage in front of my husband when we were just dating! I only said things like “when I’m married...” or “I’d like to marry someone someday” - he replied to that once by saying “you want to be married to SOMEONE?!” And gave me a look with a smile. I didn’t press him to clarify in that moment, I just took it as him testing the water or dropping hints that he was thinking about marrying me. I also never moved … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/06/20 12:48 AM |
| 28 | HVM not proposing, how do I approach this?I’m not the OP but I met my HVM husband online 3 years ago. Online dating sucks, I talked to multiple men at the same time to prevent getting attached to someone before getting to know them better. My husband stood out from everyone else I was talking to and dating at the time because he was generous and kind. We are a multicultural couple, he makes six figures and is determined in his career. He’s committed to us and our relationship. A few years before we met he lived out of state by himself s… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/06/20 12:21 AM |
| 8 | HVM not proposing, how do I approach this?Perfect! Yeah, bring it up casually sometime after catching up with your sister. I’d bring it up when you’re out for dinner or somewhere that you have his full attention so he can’t distract himself with tv, a project, a video game. When you bring it up gauge his reaction - does he seem enthusiastic about discussing your sisters wedding? Does he only say “mhm” or “hmm”? If you don’t want to ask him what his future plans are you can just say something like “I’d like to get married to someone some… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/06/20 12:05 AM |
| 15 | HVM not proposing, how do I approach this?I think the other posters have given you pretty good advice. My husband proposed to me after 16 months of dating, we had pretty clear communication from the start. About 4 months after we met we went to 6 weddings together as each other’s dates, so that helped to spark the initial conversations of things like “do you ever see yourself getting married?” Do you have any friends who’ve recently married or gotten engaged, or even have had kids? You could use that as a starting point for the conversa… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/06/20 10:44 PM |
| 7 | House husband. Thoughts?The comments in the original thread were super embarrassing because like you said, plenty of women already do those things and more for their household. If he doesn't want a full time career, I understand, but he should find something part time to at least contribute to savings goals. It could even be seasonal work - I knew an older couple where the man retired from his career a few years early while his wife worked full time. Not only did he take care of more household things, he also found a p… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/06/20 11:56 AM |
| 3 | House husband. Thoughts?I agree with you about how someone who doesn't want to work a full-time career should and could still get a part time job or use their time at home to have a small "side hustle." Even if the part time job or side job only nets a small income, it's still useful for building savings and also for interpersonal connection. It also provides a safety net for either partner to take a break from work if necessary. The OP reminds me of my former boss. She and her husband are in their mid-30s and she make… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/06/20 11:45 AM |
