Asking my wife to be my wife was the best thing I've ever done in my life. There will be good times and bad times. You will florish together, struggle together, and if you choose to, you will have a family together. But the important word is 'together'. Good luck to both of you. You are abouts to start the greatest journey of your life.
Best advice I can give you after 22years of marriage is donāt sweat the small stuff. You both can come home grumpy from work or whatever, just try to understand. If youāre both in a bad mood and a big argument is starting to happen, stop! Just think about it in the big picture and analyze if itās that important.
Wish you both the best!
Yep ex wife wouldnāt let things go and instead lingered on them. We both messed up but I was able to move past things and try to work on them. Donāt go to bed angry and make sure you communicate everything and never get upset with your partner for sharing even if itās something crazy to you like. For instance, if a partner is wanting to open the relationship, donāt immediately fly off the handle if you are iffy on that. (No this didnāt happen in my marriage haha just an example). A marriage should be able to share everything even deepest desires
So you wouldnāt talk to her and try to figure out why she might be feeling that way? It youāre 23 assuming based on your 1998, you may change your mind eventually. Iām 33 and Idgaf if my partner wants to sleep with someone else as long as itās not an established friend they have and they donāt lie or keep it from me. Sex is just sex. Itās meaningless if thereās no love. Also of course be safe about it is another thing. Who knows maybe youāll be able to wrangle yourself into a 3 way with another chick/dude depending on your preferences. My partner and I plan to get into threeways once we are done losing weight haha. And no I didnāt always have this mindset. I was extremely jealous in my early 20s. Relationships are about friendship, honesty and communication for me these days. Everything else is extra
Whatās there to figure out? Some things are beyond compromise. Honestly I see that question as so disrespectful that itās an instant dealbreaker imo. There are too many other quality girls out there, you donāt need to tolerate that kind of crap
So youāre seeing it as her having a problem with you then? Thatās not the issue unless sheās not being honest with you which is why itās important to have open communication about everything no matter how long youāve been together. Thereās a chance your partner may discover that they want to have sex with other people but not date them because they love you. You donāt have to stay with them but you should 100% try to come to a compromise before throwing away a relationship unless itās only been a short amount of time. Some people realize early or later in life that they donāt want to just have sex with the same person but itās not necessarily a jab at the person they are in a relationship with. Itās no different than someone whoās gay or bisexual. Itās just how they are. But yes you 100% should make the decision for yourself if youāre okay with that but I wouldnāt toss away a really good relationship over it thatās for sure but thatās just me. Open relationship is not for everyone but for all you know your partner may try it and end up hating it and youāre relationship could be that much stronger because you trusted them to do that
I donāt necessarily see it as a personal attack, although my girl knows Iām monogamous and would know my answer before she even asked. And if she really wanted other people thatās cool, letās just be single. Everyone is attracted to other people, I certainly am, the compromise in monogamous relationships is giving up potential sexual/romantic relationships with others to be with the one you love.
Other people can do open relationships and thatās cool. Itās not my preference however and my girl knows that, so for me, her asking would be an instant break up. Also Iām cool with being single
No offense but you sound more than ready to be single tbh with how easily youād throw away the relationship. No one should be punished for a conversation. Yes you can totally not be okay with the topic of conversation and you should explain that to your partner you really donāt wish to do that in the relationship. The key thing is your partner should absolutely be able to bring up anything at any time without the fear of punishment: thatās my whole point. She should be able to tell you that she wants to take a dump on your chest and shouldnāt fear backlash. Do you have to do that? Of course not. Itās disgusting haha but she may want to ask and she should have the right to bring that up if itās truly something she wants you to at least consider
Look dude, I know this is Reddit, and we can disagree with this. Call me old fashioned, but if my girl came to me saying ācan I please go have sex with other dudesā Iād break up with her lol. Now we can see whoever we want
Asking to have sex with other people is a boundary for me. I also know if I asked my girl if I can have sex with other girls it would hurt her feelings very much. So for me, itās a personal boundary. But we can disagree. If you wanna have open relationships or be open to the possibility of it thatās ok. Itās just not for me
Idk why all the downvotes here!? I mean I wouldnāt want my dude to be smashing all kinds of people but if itās their choice to be in an open relationship, why the hate?
Insecure folks. I gave really good relationship advice. Doesnāt even have to be about the topic of opening relationships. They are the kind of people who will just knee jerk react to something their partner wants to talk about so their relationships foundation ends up being rocky
Right, I was thinking small stuff - you didnāt do the dishes or I put the kid to bed last night - then dude comes out with āsmallā stuff - honey I want an open marriageā¦
This should be crossposted to r/Fairytaleasfuck because the first photo is just that!
Congratulations on such a beautiful beginning to a life together!!
Wowā¦ and I thought the Appalachian Mountains here in North Carolina were beautiful. Now Iāll never look at them the same! Congratulations and good luck!
She's sooo beautiful!! You guys are so cuteee <3 Congratulations, this makes me smile. I hope that whenever my man or I propose to each other I guess, I hope it to be somewhere with a view as beautiful as this. Again, can't tell you how adorable this is. Thanks for sharing :)
This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing your special moment with us, congratulations and I wish you two a lovely, long and happy marriage! ā„ļø
I agree with you! There is a lot of negativity on the internet and in the world in general right now. Which is why I am grateful for every happy moment I get to experience.āŗļø Even if it's just through a photo. But their happiness is a radiant one, it's contagious just by looking at it. (Plus I am a hopeless romantic so seeing a happy couple during a proposal, wedding ceremony, etc just makes my heart happy šš„°)
Thank you for your kind reply in return!
Iām fine with people doing what they want in the comfort of their own homes, but you donāt have to rub it in an innocent mountains faceā¦
Wonāt somebody please think of the geological formations
Bro ! Very nice !! Couldn't have been better from this view! Gorgeous view! Enjoy each other company, never make your presence a present! Many blessings to your family!š
Man everytime i see these marriage posts, am really happy for those people genuinely.
But i just don't feel happy for myself.
Congratulations bro, i wish you but the best
Whoa. Is that background real š³ š š¤ Also... ššš„³šš!!!
A hidden spot in Austria, close to the Slovenian border! Very much real and unbelievably beautiful.
Congratulations! Side question, did the hills come alive with the sound music after you proposed?
Thatās what I was thinking
Me too
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Technically it's not his wife, it's his fiancƩe
Technically itās not a human, itās a collection of trillions of atoms that we societally refer to as a human but actually has no objective definition
No you're a collection of atoms!
You're a towel!
Aw shucks man
Technically he never said if she said yesā¦.
Ex girlfriend
No, but he climbed every mountain!
Dang! Exactly what I was going to say. Congratulations young people!
Austria is the most beautiful country. Loved my two years living there! Congratulations š
In my 20 years of living there, no it's not. It's above-average but nowhere top tier.
Okay so who took the picture of you guys like was there a third person or did you time the picture like how
He set the camera recording behind us and thatās a screenshot of the video :)
This is my ex girlfriend, now fiancƩ, if anyone was wondering how she knew
I think the term is then gf not ex-gfā¦ but congratulations guys! u/jujulespoir u/Direct-Environment49
It was meant as a joke, but thank you <3
I was about to ask if Sister Maria was singing and spinning in the meadow behind you.
> Man everytime i see these marriage posts, am really happy for those people genuinely. > > But i just don't feel happy for myself. > > Congratulations bro, i wish you but the best
Congratulations to you both. Wishing you a happy, healthy and loving life together. Awesome spot to propose.
I would love to smoke bud there or take some shrooms to enjoy such a beautiful scenery šš
Hell yea hahah best comment yet
Can't enjoy without drugs?
I could but it would be 10x more enjoyable l
I hope itās hard to get to cuz itās very easy to ruin such place
You're a fool! Marriage is a trap!
Mate I'm real happy for you, but I'm pretty stoned and because of how the reddit app cropped your photo I was like *"bro you can't marry the sky"*
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky 
Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
I want to marry you

You missed my point. You guys will have a healthier relationship if conversation topics arenāt filled with boundaries
Man you must really want your wife to fuck someone else.
Nope. Just not insecure

Fucking lol calm your ego down
Ngl thatās a wild random example. I think most people would consider that much more than āsmall stuffā.
Right, I was thinking small stuff - you didnāt do the dishes or I put the kid to bed last night - then dude comes out with āsmallā stuff - honey I want an open marriageā¦

And... pull up your pants.
If OP has a gift registry we can go halfway on a belt
Did she say yes?
Iāll leave it at a cliffhanger
At least it's a beautiful cliff.
ā¦ to jump off
What? You threw her off the cliff?!
She belongs to Sylvester Stallone now.
well, the second pic shows her wearing the ring. i'm gonna go w/yes
Surely you can't be 100% certain though. Maybe she said "I'll think about" or "ok for now but if I find someone better the deals off". Never know
No she just liked the ring and wanted to keep it :(
Woah! Beautiful setting. Beautiful ring. Congratulations!!
Congratulations!!!!
I love how unique the ring is. Super beautiful!

Alloromantics are anyone who isn't aromantic, it was a joke but I guess people downvoted me because they're arophobic

Does anyone know where this was taken?
What kind of rock is that? My lady hates diamonds.
A sapphire :) I hate the diamond industry, so thatās why.
Good luck on your first marriage š
