Relationship issue, please read below?

Honey, he sure has laid ALL his cards on the table regarding his "stipulations" in what he will settle for in "his marriage". You would be "held to" these "stipulations" or no marriage with him. You would either be expected to "ahear" to them ALL, or he would not consider marrying. To my way of thinking, a marriage is made up of love, honor & trust. THEY ARE ALL I would consider in a marriage! The ONLY way I would "handle it" would be to tell him MY feelings of marriage. IF he did not agree to MY "standards" of marriage, we then would NOT agree & therefore, there would NOT be a consideration of marriage between the two of us. Say what you mean, mean what you say. IF you two do NOT agree on the SAME ideas of marriage, there would NOT possibly be one. Honey, there ARE others out there who do have the SAME stipulations of a marriage as you have. He obviously is not the rite one for you. I would NOT settle for less. I would NOT settle for his ideas of a marriage. Let him know things are not going as you hoped they would. You feel it best for him to go his way, you go forward with your life, with the one who agrees with your tho'ts of a marriage. There IS a special someone out there just for you. You haven't met him yet, but WILL when you least expect it. You will then live in a loving relationship your heart desires. You will then find the reason you two just were not meant to be. The past will forever be gone, but the future will still be your own. Do KNOW the best IS yet to come & it WILL...:)

I think you sound rather naive on the love and marriage thing. Your bf has an excellent point that many young women like yourself miss the boat on. You never want to shack up with some guy without having your own independence, your own life, money, education, etc. If you go into a marriage as a young girl with no education past high school and no real job skills then you are just relying on a guy to take care of you like your parents did. He doesn't want someone to support, like a helpless child, he wants his equal. If you don't go to college and have no career and for some reason you guys split up, then where does that leave you? You really want to go back to your parents? If you had made something of yourself you wouldn't have to rely on anyone to take care of you. Marriage is way more than just love. There are many things you have to consider before love. It's not like some romantic fantasy, where love fixes all. No, you need all your ducks in a row, almost like a finely run business. If you don't, then you end up like a lot of this chicks that ask questions on here about how to leave their marriages with no money and no job and no where to go.

ETA: How to handle this? Go get your college degree and career so you have something to offer to your relationship.

you got the bf from hell dump his *** you can do alot better, it seems he all about him and what he can get from you you don't deserve a life with him you can get any guy you want, that just pi**** me off just reading this piece of **** you call a bf,, then we will set back and see who he ends up with ,hell he's lucky he got you he shows no respect at all too think he would even say that to you, tell me he hate you deep inside unless you have a career making big money so he can save for hiself, leave tomorrow and never look back,,tell him it over iam not your property you can control me anymore, iam getting a job at wawa just too screw with your head

Serious? If my man ever treated me like "every other girl" I would drop him quick that s***. But thats just me. I say YOU CAN DO BETTER. Break up. Find someone new. Fall in love all over again with someone that treats you as the only person in the world. If your bf truly loved you he wouldn't of opened his mouth to say that...
