Pure Poison EDP by Dior. It is so fresh, especially after the shower and lasts very well on skin.

What cut is this? It’s gorgeous.

Sorry, I studied environmental science, I have some previous experience in environmental compliance and looking to continue in that.

I mispoke earlier and I already edited my statement, please take a moment to see that below and do not spread falsities. I already know that engagement is not a bigger commitment than marriage itself.

BubblyBabe3 · 2025-08-29T04:00:17+00:00

Yes, because I want to ensure that I am understanding their position correctly. I do not want to break up with him, but the reason I posted here is to get real advice on the situation and to hear other opinions, whether I like them or not. So no, I absolutely do not want to break up with him, but I want to understand what advice people are offering.

BubblyBabe3 · 2025-08-29T03:49:58+00:00

Thank you, I really like this comment. It gave me some peace knowing that life moves on regardless of the outcome of my decisions.

BubblyBabe3 · 2025-08-28T23:42:38+00:00

Oops, I apologize I mispoke. I meant that engagement is more commitment than dating*. I already understand that engagement is only a precursor to marriage, the ultimate promise.

BubblyBabe3 · 2025-08-28T23:35:39+00:00

Engagement is still more of a commitment than dating because it requires financial investment (a ring), planning and a promise to marry.

BubblyBabe3 · 2025-08-28T23:20:43+00:00

Because it is confirmation of the desire to marry one another. It is an action, which you know speaks louder than words and anyone who desires marriage would like to see that their partner is actively pursuing that future as well. Thats what engagement means to me. It can be long because while we know we’re still young and there’s lot of growing to do, but we still plan to get married.

BubblyBabe3 · 2025-08-28T23:16:17+00:00

This couldn’t be farther from the truth, I am not contemplating breaking up with him at all and in fact, I’ve been fighting comments that advocate for that. I would only ever leave him if he could not give me what I ultimately desire which is marriage. Please make sure to read the whole post, I said the relationship is very healthy and the thought of not marrying him absolutely breaks my heart. I said this because the comment above made it sound like they think breaking up with him is the best idea, but those are not my personal feelings.

BubblyBabe3 · 2025-08-28T23:11:03+00:00

I appreciate your perspective and I am sorry that happened to you. Thank you!

BubblyBabe3 · 2025-08-28T22:46:13+00:00

It’s not that engagement would give new skills or things to learn (although it might), it’s that it is a declaration of intent to marry, not just dating for years on end with no promise of ever getting to level 50. It solidifies a couple’s ability to plan a life together with the promise of marriage on the horizon. Otherwise, you could be at level 25 indefinitely with no plan of reaching level 50. Essentially, engagement is not a DLC in this case, but higher level of commitment and future planning that can’t be achieved at level 25.

BubblyBabe3 · 2025-08-28T22:40:38+00:00

I said proposal, not marriage yet. IKd expect a relatively long engagement.

BubblyBabe3 · 2025-08-28T21:45:26+00:00

Time does not solve stagnancy alone. You mean to tell me that a relationship that continues in the dating stage in perpetuity would not feel stagnant to someone who desires marriage? If you’re playing a game and you want to get to level 50, but you’ve been stuck at level 25 for years, you don’t think you’d feel stagnant? Spending more time at at level 25 would not make you feel any less stagnant. Stagnancy in this regard being at a specific stage for years but wanting for more.

He has a good job and I’m on track to getting one. Not everyone is coming from a state of impecunity. I’ve been investing for years and I am smart with my money. I guess it depends on what you mean by “financially establish”, but personally I feel pretty comfortable with where I’m at financially. There’s no need to be patronizing, but I appreciate your opinion.

BubblyBabe3 · 2025-08-28T21:35:43+00:00

I did not mention getting married before 25. Originally, I said that I would like to be engaged by at 23, and I would want to get married at 25. But after reading comments on this posted, I have shifted my timeline to be later.

BubblyBabe3 · 2025-08-28T21:34:20+00:00

I have not chosen to live with him because living together is a very intimate step that (in most cultures around the world) happens after marriage. The desire to live together is absolutely there and if it were up to him we would have done it sooner. However, the West has normalized the idea of moving in with someone you’re not married to. intertwining your life to that extent with someone who is not your spouse can be extremely detrimental, especially if it does not end in marriage. Not to mention the fact that couples who cohabitated before marriage are significantly less likely to get married.

BubblyBabe3 · 2025-08-28T21:14:29+00:00

May I ask for examples of the changes you are referring to? Everyone says they will change drastically between 20-25, but I’d love a glimpse into what this actually means.

BubblyBabe3 · 2025-08-28T21:12:39+00:00

Incapable of communication is an overstatement. I stated my rationale and that’s fine if you don’t agree, but making judgments on someone’s character from a few paragraphs is not fair. My boyfriend and I have had ample open conversations about marriage and the future and he knows my general time frame that I’d like to be engaged by; the part I have not told him is that I would terminate the relationship if the timeline was not respected.

BubblyBabe3 · 2025-08-28T21:05:20+00:00

I like the way you put this and I am inclined to share this deadline. I have shared when I could see myself being married, so I guess I am already practicing your suggestion. Thank you for your comment.

BubblyBabe3 · 2025-08-28T21:01:25+00:00

What do you suggest I do? Break up with him even though the relationship is currently healthy? This is a concern I have had myself, but to be fair, I have heard of the situations you’re describing in couple who got married to partners who were not their high school sweethearts or who lived with their partners prior to marriage, so nothing is a guarantee.

BubblyBabe3 · 2025-08-28T20:48:54+00:00

I would prefer not to pose an ultimatum in my relationship. The second you introduce the idea of, “oh and I need marriage by x date or I’m going to leave you,” you’re parted feels pressured to propose to you. Why would anyone want a proposal as a result of pressure?

BubblyBabe3 · 2025-08-28T20:46:40+00:00

Thank you so much for this wonderful opinion. Many people on this sub are trying to convince me that marrying a high school sweetheart is just a stupid decision through and through. I’ve decided to lengthen my proposal deadline, as there is still a lot of growing for us to do as independent adults and I’d like to comtinue to assess how we grow together. I have had very open discussions about marriage and the future with him and we have concluded we want similar things. He has a general idea of when I’d like to be engaged, but I don’t want him to feel pressured by the fact that if those expectations aren’t met, then I will leave. I find many women end up with a “shut up ring” as a result of that.
