Life is getting real: marriage conversations
I recently started having marriage conversations with the parents of my girlfriend of 5 years. Made me become serious about life very suddenly. The conversation of where I work, how much I earn, how I will support her etc. etc.
She also works and in an interesting situation, she actually earns more than me.
And so while she believes in me, I need to cover up. Not because men should earn more. But because I want parents to respect me too.
Made me serious. Made it more obvious why I need to work hard to do better at TCS. Or find a better job outside.
Until now it was not as strong. Now it is real. Now I need to do it. It changes my day to day perspective.
I would recommend not going for that validate the correct time.
When I got a married at that time, I used to earn more than my spouse. So my spouse took it as a challenge in good spirit and made sure to earn more than me. The reason for doing this was not to get respect from anyone's parents but it was so that i don't compromise on my expenditure and can leave a job if I have to anytime without financial worries.
Whats your age.
I too have similar situation.
