I’ve been seing this woman for a couple of months and she has minimum red flags (not the best cook and not very athletic) out of all of my plates. I’m thinking about an LTR, as she ticks most of my boxes and I’m at a point of my life where I want to settle down and have a family.

I want to set and hold the frame from the beginning of the relationship, therefore I would like a few pointers of how to exactly achieve that. It’s a known fact that it’s almost impossible to set the frame after being a bitch, therefore I want to make sure this never occurs.

Do I lay down the rules when she pops the “where do we stand” question? My values are my family, career, friends and working out.
