That's why I was surprised by the consensus. she's highly intelligent but young and could definitely stand to grow up some more. Pretty strong nay vote though. I'm not ready to end it on that

That's because a good percentage of the OT always thinks they can just go out and do better... or they have fricked up bad enough that it's easier to just give advice.

What another poster said about chilling on the drinking is spot on. Will be hard during the holidays... but an OUTSTANDING time to "prove it" to the parents.

Well you listed more bad stuff about her than good.


How is she with your friends? Do they like her? What about any friends of yours that are female? They get along ok with her?



You say she is very opinionated. You willing to put up with that the rest of your life? When yall are buying a home together and she won't compromise with you on stuff? When you have children and she has strong views about how they should be raised that you don't agree on? When things are tense every holiday or family get together because your family and her do not get along?

If she loves you and you asked her to quit drinking, she will do it. If she doesn't, she loves the booze more than you
