Don’t get married.

Best advice I can give.

I’ve never heard anybody say this, it’s dumb and probably from a young female:

Half of the people in my life say, "Get married ASAP so you can spend the most of your life possible with someone you love."


This is truth:

"Enjoy being single cause life will change when you get married."

I wanted to say no way can she be ready for marriage when 26 (?), still living at home and won’t move in together because of her parents opinions




My sister got married at 23 and lived at home until the wedding or shortly before the wedding. They may have set up their apartment but they did not live together. My parents were pretty strict Catholics and all of us spent 12 or 13 years in Catholic school

Sister's marriage lasted 2 weeks shy of 35 years but only through the grace of God. He should have left her sooner.

I would tell her that we need to hold off on marriage until we live in the same city for awhile. That could be a deal breaker there.

Ok...sounds good

No rush

Nothing happens until you ask her to marry you...

Relax and let things play out..

So that was in a totally different time period

And I can’t even tell if this is an endorsement

Not everyone is the same. Some people can get married young and some cannot, even in this century. Some are ready and some are not. Cannot generalize.

I do agree with you that OP doesn't appear to be anywhere near ready to be married. I don't think it's fair to get her to move where he is if he's so unsure.

Break up with her so she can move on. You don't love her the way she loves you so let her go.

She still lives with her parents out in the middle of nowhere and I dont wanna wear out my welcome. Hotels arent really an option.

She doesnt like driving long distances alone so she's only been here twice.


Regardless of what anyone will tell you complete and open honest communication is the absolve cornerstone to a successful relationship. Just tell her all of these feelings. Lay it all on the line and don’t hold back. Don’t have this conversation at her parents house do it in private.

Having a completely vulnerable open moment of communication and seeing how your SO reacts to it is a very very important milestone to witness in a relationship.

Also, out of curiosity, How did y’all meet and start dating? How often do you talk to one another)

Don’t marry someone you can just live with. Marry someone you can’t live without.

And when you find that person, and you may already have, understand that marriage is hard work. Humans are inherently selfish and don’t properly know how to communicate (as opposed to “talking” with one another). Sacrifices and compromise must be made daily for one another and you have to be able to share your feelings without hurting the other person intentionally and if you can’t, anger and resentment can build up.

Sounds like fun, right? No, but I can tell you it is worth it, if you realize that marriage isn’t for you (don’t take this for on the surface statement).

Are you not ready to move in together

Or not ready to move in, marry, and do kids

Say you aren't ready for kids or marriage let's live together

Trust me she will let you know how that works for her

Here is a tip from my dating experience.

Every girl I dated from high school forward I tried to think of the best reasons to marry them. But I always had tons of reason not to marry them.

When I met my wife (after only 6 months) - I could not think of a reason not to marry her.

I don’t think that we have one true love out there but when you find “one of the ones” that you want to spend more time with (not just sex) - then that is the one you marry.

If you never find one that you enjoy spending time with, then you have the issue and should learn to enjoy single life.

Just to clarify parents are not okay with you moving in together but banging her at her house once a month is okay?

Also if she is middle of nowhere what does she do for work?

Red Flags
- finacial what does she do for work and can she do it where you are
- if she doesn't work you will be dope social outlet. Might be better to both move somewhere
- family if she is ok with moving in together but won't because family run. She isn't an adult
