Search Results: asking to marry

Do you think this girl's mother is an entitled woman asking for too much? Please read.

I'm just an observant (a family friend). The girl was dating her boyfriend for 4 months. All was great until the lady excluded him on a family event and got involved in the relationship too much. The lady even speaks for her daughter on conversations, interrupts on the table too.

The guy reacted like anyone would've: reducing his visits, distancing from the relationship, hardly going out on dates and spending more time on work, with friends and elsewhere... away from drama, the meddling mother and his pushover girlfriend.

The girl's b-day was last month and the lady argued with the guy badly. She literally insulted him (making him cry in anger) because he came with no gift. He came with nothing because the lady ruined the surprise date. He was gonna take her on a restaurant. The lady literally told him what to get for his daughter and organized the b-day herself. The girl said nothing, stood there, didn't defend him.

When the guy claimed he was gonna surprise her on her b-day, she thought it would be with a damn engagement ring. LOL
- The relationship went south ever since the mother meddled
- The guy's girlfriend is a total pushover; she's already 20 years old
- The girl doesn't want kids nor a family
- The girl hasn't really been doing anything for the guy besides having sex.
- Just because she lost her virginity to him, doesn't mean he has to marry her, esp if she's not contributing anything and he has more to lose.
- I heard the girl once told him ''I'll abort the thing if you ever get me pregnant''. She referred to an unborn baby as a thing.
- The girl doesn't even know how to make basic meals, balance a checkbook, take care of herself, act like an adult, etc.

With all those negative points, the drama and everything else... the lady really thinks her daugher deserved a ring on her finger.

As the title stated, can career and marriage goes hand in hand?
Or you can’t? Because you have to be super focus on pursuing your career so you can’t get married yet. I’m asking to everyone here. Not just men but women as well. Maybe you can share your story? I’ll start with mine..
My boyfriend told me that he couldn’t marry me yet because he’s still pursuing his career. He’s a CFO of an investment company. I’m working as well and never asked him for anything because I’m making enough to make myself comfortable. In my life, career doesn’t mean everything. Maybe because I’m not super ambitious. I was. But now, I’m content. I will even say, even if my boss gonna give me a higher position with double salary, I will say no to that. I don’t want extra burden.
My boyfriend and I been in this relationship for more than a year. We are 31 (me) and 33 (him) y/o. That’s a good age to get married and in my culture, I’m a bit over time already. When you’re 31 and single, a lot of people will be giving you the look. 👀
We lived together already and I thought he will pop the question some time this year or next year perhaps. But I’m in so much surprise that I lost my voice.
He said that he couldn’t marry me yet. He wants to focus on his career and doesn’t know when he wants to get married yet. Maybe when he’s 35,37 or even 40. He just don’t know yet. So he decided to end our relationship because he knew at some point, I want to get married. I don’t wanna waste my time waiting for something that uncertain.
So, here I am, asking your story.
