My Girlfriend has been pestering me on marriage and we already discuss that I'm gonna marry her as soon as I get a stable job for me to support her. I'm on a verge of being accepted on a big stable company. What should I do?

talk to her and explain yourself. hopefully she'd be reasonable enough to understand you. Good luck!

You have promised her marriage when things get going for you. Why can't she understand that? She needs to realize that she is very important, but at the same time you are being responsible and not rushing into anything. Why is she in such a hurry?

First of all, I hope and pray that you are NOT going to marry her only because she wants you to. You shouldn't marry for that reason. You should want it as well. Secondly, as a woman, I understand her side as well. I really don't know any advice to give you other than only marry if you BOTH want it.

The only reason for marriage is LOVE. If you love her and will have a good job, then why not?
On the other hand if she is pushing you into something you really don“t feel ready for then you should wait. If she lovs you she will too!
Love can be comlicated!

u got t o make ur girl frnd understand that u love her bt love alone does not lets u survive u need money for that, and she gotta beleive in u and ur doings. Give her a time limit like a month or mre. Like the time by which the co. will recruit u and then mrry her by that time.

Has your girlfriend said she doesn't want you to wait until you get a stable job? Does she know how close you are to this job you want? Are you currently engaged or are you still technically just dating?
More info, please! :)

thanks for your response. She is saying that she's not getting younger. she's only 28 and she really wanted to have a child before she turns 30 because she said its difficult to have a child by that age. She knows I'm closing on a Job. We are now 4 years in our relationship.

Friend, do not marry for the sake of marrying.
Things like this won't last long.
Make sure you are ready and comfortable.
And of course love exist between the 2 of you.
Just tell her, you are doing this for future sake.
If she is not supportive and understanding, talk to her.
I'm sure you will be able to handle it fine.

If you need to ask people on an internet discussion forum whether or not you should get married, then it's best that you don't. Marriage is a big commitment and if you have any doubt at all about whether it's the right thing to do, DON'T DO IT!
What use is it having a stable well-paid job if in a couple of years all your hard-earned wages have to go on divorce lawyers and child support? Tell your girlfriend to stop pestering you. You'll marry her when YOU'RE ready and not a moment sooner!

maybe she was pressure by environment, Sometimes girls when pressure they feel unsecured they tend to do things just to feel secure. MAybe she just afraid to lose you so sometimes thats the tendency. Open communication and make her feel secure would help.
