[QUOTE="TooFineAPoint, post: 1392216, member: 8507"] Seeing as how you were about to propose to her and get a home together, she actually did you a favor and let you dodge a huge bullet. Maybe she is handling it poorer than you would like, but man it could have been a lot worse if she had let her fears and resentment grow, all the while going along with your plan only to pull this when there was a mortgage and a kid involved. Women definitely miss their families though. I know it's old school for a chick to give up her name and her parents and take on the man's digs, but even in the most conservative God-fearing families I grew up around (who are all still married), the women are deeply connected with their parents and definitely need to spend time with them regularly. My own mother's hard stop line was that she had to live within an hour or so drive from her parents until they passed away. But she also had my dad's back on everything else (kept house while he built and then eventually sold his business, incredible and healthy cook, socially networked in church, still goes to the gym in her 60s, keeps lines of communication amongst all extended family members).
