Salam :) I’m flying to meet my long distance boyfriend’s parents and he plans on proposing soon. We’ve been “dating” for 4 months. Should he cover my ticket?

He’s Pakistani, he should know better lol. He should pay for everything.

He should pay. Wishing you the very best of luck. I’m from Pakistan and my wife is white. We married 20 years ago, and we’ve both been fortunate, not only in our marriage but also in our professional lives. From the beginning, we approached it thoughtfully: we respected and listened to both families, while still staying true to what we believed was right for us. We are proud of our backgrounds and our religion.

My mother embraced my wife wholeheartedly as a daughter, and my wife was gracious, wise, and respectful in how she built relationships with my family. I also formed a strong bond with her parents.

Fast forward twenty years: muslim kids, a large beautiful home, good health, and a genuinely happy life together, grounded in mutual respect and partnership.

Go for it, you can build a wonderful life together, insha’Allah.

Why are you posting this question in a “Muslim” and “Professional” group? This is no dating app and totally conflicts with the title of this group.

Congratulations OP! May Allah bless you both.

Yes of course - hopefully he’s offered already as this really shouldn’t be a topic of discussion imo. If he hasn’t brought it up, then it’s a slightly different question you’re asking.

Thank you ☺️

Congrats OP!!
I think you should each come up with a probability you think you’ll get married eventually. Take the average of both and that’s the percentage of your ticket he should cover. May Allah bless your union (and trip)!

I like my current job, company and public accounting. I know I am being underpaid at $70k as a senior tax associate with 2-3 years of experience as I have talked with my local peers as well as local recruiters. Also, I know outside hires to my company get paid about $5-$10k higher than me, but they don’t get a raise the following year. My question is what is everyone’s experience with company hopping to get a pay bump within public accounting?
