You are so full of negativity.. Whats ur clinic? Make sure i don't visit..
You dont even know whats in future but already talking abt special child.. Do you know many im their 40s have healthy kids?
You are confused.. You first imply that $$ is a problem, then change tune saying $$ is not a problem but marriage..then blaming your gf and so on..

Food for thought.. Money and sex are among the top reasons for divorce.

Suggest u have a heart to heart talk on life goals before tying the knot.

i think better you dump her coz you cannot afford.

people already in their 30s. you know la for female the older they get the lesser value they are. don't waste ppl time. and also dont date girls who are older than you if you cannot afford

Ts shld not waste her time if ts dun want to marry her.

Ts has to be reasonable...ts want to wait until 32 yo to marry her? By then she is 35 yo...wat guarantee she has to stay loyal to ts? I know a guy whose gf stayed with him until she 36yo then he dumped her for younger girl. All ger heart ache to stay loyal for nothing.

Good morning. I do want to marry her but if you read my post right it's the act of saying I'm not doing anything to plan for the future when I'm already doing all the things I can to make it happen that is the crux of the problem.

Bro,

I understand your pain, my 2 points.

1. Plan your on your own way, if your gf cannot wait then sayonara bcos you both are not aiming to get a child so as long you already decided to be with her then her bio clock is not an issue d. Marriage is just a legal term.

2. If i were in your shoes, i would seriously consider whether want to continue with the marriage with your gf since she do not support or understand you. From your story, she needs you more than you need her so she should be more understanding and support in her own way like telling her parents that you have everything plan so chill and not telling ' Hey, my parents say this d, how ? Sometimes, the girl's parents is pressure by their relatives and frens therefore stating the those to manipulate you into marriage. Must see everything overall.

Furthermore, is your gf only child ? got other siblings ? all this must be taken to account. If your gf does not understand the current market situation and reckon you need to do fancy wedding and pay for everything then sooner or later GG.

I have a fren paid 35k wedding dowry and that is excluded from the wedding expenses which he need to fork out. Ok, he is well to do, earning good money so no problem. Married for 2 years, family problems comes. Siblings problems, family dinners, events whereby they all looking at my fren to foot the bill, why ? bcos he is able and already family. Tell the wife and the wife turn on him saying you don't love me anymore, small money wanna kira and all that crap. At the end divorce and have bitter battle for the kids.

Fren all marriages hv risk lah. All marriages hv arguments and obstacles. No such thing as blissful marriages.

If ts want perfect one he be single for life. Does not exist.

Ultimately ts must build thresholds and find out if this rship is worthwhile. All marriages hv risk of divorce.

Morning.

Woman like that one..they like to yack and complain. Understand that u r busy n may not hv time to tend to everything. Thats why u nd to hv that talk with her in the car...lay out to her all ur plans. If she dun agree then debate it off. If she quiet u also say out ur plans.

Its frustrating..i know but thats life.

From all your replies, I can only see you're angry and hurt cuz your ego has been challenged "for not planning".

Communication is the key for every successful relationship. If you're already planning then why not discuss with her to see if she agrees to wait another year? By then she'd be 32 already... u must know the agreement for not having kids are only a decision between you two and maybe her parents have no idea about this thus they are pushing you guys into marriage thinking about fertility rate. In this part you have to understand her, she is being sandwiched between her parents and you .... as her man though ur frustrated being viewed as not capable or not serious, you have to put it aside and concentrate on how to reach an agreement..... don't harp on problems but find a solution...

I don't want to make my own family cram themselves to live with her in laws. it makes for a disastrous concoction when arguments arises.

Anyways guys i value your thoughts and thank you for your time. looks like I need to have another conversation with her again regarding this. seriously this is like the third conversation we had and no idea why they wanna rush. what am I gonna feed my guest? sand?

Sit down and explain to them/her. Should be OK. Importantly, explain to her.

But I am completely baffled that she has 0 saving and being 31 years old.

Why hvg kids is so bad meh?

if u cant afford at least 1 kid lah.

Our cainis population dying of extinction level.

Well respek ur opinion...but do consider hvg kids...when u grow old n look back u may want one.

Its not impossible to raise kid at smaller income..i saw some families work as clerk n taxi driver can hv 3 or 4 kids.

Don't rush into marriage. Enough said. Plan for the future. One with with her, one without her. Find a middle point just in case she leaves.

You still have no idea why they wanna rush? I thought it is pretty clear to most ppl that it is because she has crossed the 30s mark. You just need to explain to her and assure her that you intend to marry her and give her a timeline. Is she aware of this?
Another word of advice, avoid talking about how much you have sacrificed for the relationship. It won't get you anywhere. She won't like it, you won't like it. Do it willingly for the both of you. If she has a problem with saving, tell her about it. But just don't bring up what you have done and what she has not done. I believe you know this too, just lost it when you were angry.

Seriously in what age now a days people think that marrying young is good. I am just 28 years old and my girlfriend is 31 years old and we been only together for two years. I went to her house just now and my girlfriend told me her parents are saying why does it seem like he isn't planning for the future? we both had a huge argument and I drove off without saying good bye and she slammed the door.

what the fuck? with this shit economy its been years since I took a long vacation to go for travel from my clinic, I hardly go out these days and everything I can save I try to save. sometimes I need to think twice buying pizza for myself as I need to save up for my future.  i have a fucking house ready and yet to them it seems like I am not seriously growing up.

who here is getting the same shit? sorry for the rude words. I'm just so angry.

ask her to save money too. see how much she can save for your future.

btw, how much you have save now?

Total savings is near 60k since I started four years ago. all of that now is in my unit trust portfolio.

would you suggest using your life savings to spend on a wedding? I don't want to burden my divorced parents esp my dad.

No need to spend so much on a wedding. Spend within your means. If she is a keeper, she will understand. You will get some back from angpow money anyway.

IMO, wedding is a show made for other people. I would rather spend it on ourselves (honeymoon, house, kids, etc.).

great saving though, no need to spend all and follow your parent or her parent lust for the wedding ceremony. keep it as simple as you can.

from the saving that you have now, there's no problem for you to get marry right now at this moment.

but now you have to fix your relationship again with her and her family first and discuss your own plan.

p/s: i know it's really hard to organize cheap wedding ceremony and hard to shut people's mouth said that you poor coz organized small ceremony.
