Dating Advice - Engagement Dilemma

Q.: That’s so true. I’ve been in a long relationship and I’ve had to work a lot but in the end I loved the person more. One question though, I want to marry this person but I can’t afford the ring and wedding I know she wants, she’s losing patience, what can I do, help please!

A.: You say you know she wants a certain ring and wedding that is above your budget right now, yet is losing patience. If she knows your financial situation, but is in a hurry to get married, I have a feeling she will compromise. If she cares more about being with you than the wedding of her dreams, I think she will. In the end, after the wedding is done, all that really matters anyway is that the person you marry is the one who is right for you. I suggest having a straight-up conversation with her about where you are financially, how long you expect it to take to be able to afford the wedding of her dreams and the ring she wants, and ask her if she would rather wait for that or settle for something more affordable. Then leave the ball in her court.
