I’ve worked at AT&T as a sales consultant for 6 years and 8 months where we prospect, uncover, and close on leads. I’ve used Salesforce for the past 4 years during my tenure. I’ve done B2B sales where I’ve received awards for it for 2 years consecutively. Loads of troubleshooting, uncovering needs through consultative styled selling, and tech app subscriptions.
I was wondering if I have the necessary skills to transition into a tech sales role. If so, what would be the best role/fit for me?Amazon Salesforce Google @

You’re talking about what you would do in her position, but you’re not thinking about it from her perspective nor are you being active about your expectations. Have you had an explicit conversation with her about how you want her to be part of your family? Did you talk about plans for your mother’s visit before she arrived so your girlfriend knew what to expect? Did you say anything to her when she told you she didn’t want to go for a walk with your mother and sister?
Talk to your girlfriend and understand how she feels. If she’s not willing to step up to something that’s important to you, then you may want to consider your future together. But talk to her.
Sounds like your values aren’t aligned - it’s up to you to decide whether the relationship offers enough outside of this issue to make it worth continuing
Especially as we live together too. I’d also be conscientious and not want to put her in a position where her mom wonders why I didn’t join.
This seems very odd to me. If I was invested in the relationship and a long-term situation, I would make the effort. I would definitely ask a few more questions, in an attempt to figure out (and even understand) her reasoning/position. Maybe there’s something else going on that has nothing to do with your family.
She’s invested in the relationship, she wants to get married and is waiting for me to propose. But these are the types of things that make me worried. Sometimes she doesn’t know when she needs to make these efforts
If it was me...
I'm going to see them, so either come or don't.
Overthinking; also, she does not have to always do stuff with your family. That’s too much stress.
OP, I’m not sure where your gf is from, but there are a wide range of expectations for family integration in America. Some people don’t want to spend much time with in laws. It sounds like your girlfriend (not even wife) just wants to skip one event.
I don’t see the issue necessarily. If she just got in a day before let her have some time alone with your sister. You all make separate plans to visit her. Did your sister invite yall to come along or you’re inviting yourself? If she’s at least spoken with her to welcome her then I don’t see the problem.
Mixed up the seniors sorry
She's your girlfriend, not your fiancee or wife; just because you live together doesn't mean you're a family yet. She doesn't have to integrate into your family and treat them as her own. Have a conversation about what's important to you and where you each think you're headed and when.
Correct - that's why they should have a conversation about their goals. We are hearing one side of this story and have no context.
Rising Star
She doesn’t want the relationship to get any more serious than it is right now. That’s her hitting the brakes.
She might be annoyed you haven’t proposed yet
I get both sides but I’m wondering if you, OP talked to your wife about it and told her how you really feel? If you did talk with her, how did she respond ?
