Not a wedding planning questions, but, when did you know you were gonna propose to your now husband/wife? My partner and I love each other, know we are going to marry, we even discussed the party and honey moon, but we are in no rush. We don’t feel like it’s time just yet.
I wonder how the “ok, it’s time to ask” moment went for other couples - just because I love to hear these stories.

My husband proposed pretty quickly after we got together, we just knew it was right and it felt right. I think it’s one of those things where when you know,you know.

Same situation (I was the boyfriend) here. We moved in after 4.5 years of dating (early 2020 and some solid Covid rental deals) and decided that it finally felt right this year. Our wedding isn’t until nov 2023, and nothing is actually different in our lives, but it feels nice to be engaged

26M been dating my girlfriend for the past 7 years. She’s basically the only person I’ve had a romantic relationship with. We just moved in together and I’m not really liking it - I feel like I’m “domesticated” and have less freedom. I’m not looking forward to the future. Instead, I’m looking back wondering “what if” around other girls, relationships, experiences, etc.

I don’t know what this means but i wanted to talk about it.

Hey sweet ladies, C (26 male) this side. Hope you are keeping safe and healthy!

About me? People usually say I am their go to person for when they need emotional support, advise about relationships and when they feel low, maybe because I help them cheer up again and be the ear they need.

I am a great listener too. I can go on listening to you if you feel low, won't say a word until you are finished, will hold your hand when you are done and try to bring your sweet smile back!

Maybe this is a cultural thing, but I need outside input. My nephew just turned 18, and I got him a bottle of Four Roses. Obviously, we live in the US and he isn't 21, but I'm realistic and know he's already drinking. Plus, growing up outside the US (UK) I was drinking before the drinking age with my father and uncles. I thought of it as a coming-of-age type thing, but my sister-in-law was totally shocked and a little angry at me. Was I wrong for thinking this wasn't a big deal?

Hi, I am moving from edmonton to toronto. can anyone give me an idea how much I should ask for a senior mobile developer position in Toronto?

I’m tired of working from home and wanted an opportunity to work at a team based social environment for some time, so was excited to hear about this offer. But their starting offer is a 40/40 split(80k OTE) which is almost a 40% pay cut. He said we could negotiate. Any advice on what to ask for?
