if they are 5 years in and you've been expecting this... why haven't you taken the time to get to know the guy and his plans for the future already? Why does it take him asking for you to start asking him about stuff?

Didn't bother to read the whole thread for my first post.
Treat this like you would a celebratory dinner, Make him excited to join your family, or he will draw the woman away from you with a quickness.

He asked him this over the phone, which as a future father in law would have me highly questioning his intelligence.
I'm glad my father-in-law didn't have this mindset. I asked for blessing over phone and all was fine and everyone was excited.

You haven't done anything wrong. Keep looking out for your daughter.
Imo, they're too young to get married and his future seems mediocre. You probably should have said something earlier.

What does their age matter at this point? They've both already essentially got careers. It's not like they're about to go to college and fundamentally change forever. They're probably about 23 years old and have been together for 5 years, and will likely be engaged for a period of time. What does waiting a couple more years accomplish if they know they want to be together?

Best advice ever was "go ahead and get married but do NOT pump out a kid for a while." Many people who have been dating for an extended time feel the need to procreate right away. The first years of marriage are hard enough without a screaming baby to add 100X stress. Bonus factor is if one or both parties realizes the marriage was a mistake, you don't have a kid in the mix to frick up the divorce.

sorry, "about five years since 11th grade" is just a strange term to use as a measuring stick
And she's "about" be be an x-ray technician, that may be a prestigious job in your parts, but a girl that makes film in an x-ray room and asks people to take off jewelry doesn't require a complicated degree. Lets not pretend she's about to be splitting the atom.
Don't worry about what I do, I doubt you would understand.
Keep swinging though, I trust you'll get one eventually!

You sir are an complete dick. You should of dropped everything at the moment he asked you to talk to him. Making him wait I have no respect for you

Look at that edit time! It took you that long to think of that comeback? That's pathetic, but par for the course.
Posted on 1/23/17 at 4:39 am to Mo Jeaux
Correcting a misspelled word but you crushed that comeback.
Edit: I gave you an upvote because it was that good.

b/c people change bit time from 23 to 30.
Esp if they been together since HS. One party will most likely wonder off the farm.
