Greetings my people,

Please I really need your advice on how to go about this matter that is really eating me up. We went on a normal date with my girl whom I have proposed marriage to and she accepted it. But in recent time I have been telling her to come and see my parent but was like we are not yet ready, I don't understand it.

Today we went out and she opened up and started telling me areas of my life which she's not really comfortable with and I should improve on them. When she was done she said she needs us to slow things down for now.

I don't really know how to go about this right now. Please I really need your advice on it. I really love this girl and wants to settle down with her. We broke before and reconcile after two years, and we been back for like 6 months now.

Please no insult or curse. Please I need your advice.
are you financially stable?

Hope she told u the areas you are lacking?
Maybe she lack the wisdom to correct you on them all this while or you are too stubborn to change. You are truly in love with her as I can perceived. Work on those areas or begin de find love somewhere.

Improve and give her 3 months, after three months, if there's no change, you have to move on.

It’s good to have someone who can provide honest feedback.

If making those improvements add to your life, go ahead.

Don’t do it to please her though. Do it because it adds to your life.

Assume that the relationship is over and act that way.

Her mind is not fully made up. The thing is, when you guys first broke up, what led to the broke up is yet to clear off her mind. Secondly, if you used to give her money, just stop it for now and see her response. You love her but your love is not returned equally and that's the fact, she's obviously attached to you for a reason and that's what you need to find out, because marriage is different from friendship, if these matters come up during marriage you may not be able to handle it. Secondly, she could be dating someone by her accessment is better than you and your speed would spoil her chances for a greener pasture with this other guy. You're just her plan B should in case things doesn't work out with the current guy she's hoping on. The truth is, during the period of your breakup, a lot of things happened and things have changed and it's not anyone's fault since there was a breakup in the past.
You're advanced in wisdom. Not the first comment i read writing rubbish! Kids on internet without life experience.
Re: My Fiancee Ask Me To Slow Things Down - I don't know what to do by Gosiso:
I've been in this kind of scenario before and the best thing is to actually "slow down" like she requested.

Just try and keep yourself very busy that you have little time for her. But always try to reach out to her once in a while.

With time, you'll know where the relationship is headed, and if it's for the rocks, you won't be too heart broken at that point.

The only thing a man would die for in a woman is if they're compatible and sees the qualities he yearns for in a woman. That is when he will make the extra effort to get her.

Mr man focus on your life, improve your life.

Don't just pause your life because of your relationship.

My candid advice is to slow things down and increase your hustle but always check on her once once.
During this period, you will know the direction of your relationship.

The only true thing that can help you is to give her maximum space and be on a look out for a new girl.

I know it sound very harsh but any effort from your side to savage the situation is going to have the opposite effect, you only have a chance if you give her maximum space and ready to move on ASAP.

This the only thing that can help you, if she didn't chase after you when you give her the space she requested for then she is not really interested in being with you as much as you want to be with her but you seem like those guys without any backbone that will try very hard to convince her which will just make her see you as a desperate loser and run away from you without looking back.

Most of the guys that are having fun with her behind your back may not even be as good as you but have more backbone than you. She should be the one trying to meet your standard not the opposite, what's she bringing to the table that make you hand over all the power to her and allow her to dictate the relationship ? you are definitely not man enough for her, you are just a typical wuss and nice guy.

She should be the one trying to push you quickly into marriage because time is not on women side.

A man rushing to get marry is not attractive to attractive women unless the woman is already becoming an evening newspaper and also desperately looking for marriage.

When it come to marriage matter, the best and most favourable scenario for men is when the women is the one pushing you to get marry to her and already hinting at marriage with you, she should be the one asking you for the time to go see your parents if she's serious with you not the other way round , asking you for the time for engagement etc because time is not on women side and if she love you enough she will definitely try to take that step with you if she didn't then it mean she is not really in love with you to that extent yet and have other plans which mean you should have other plans too.
Another matured talk. 👍💯

She doesn’t want to see your parents. She wants you to slow things down. She needs you to improve on certain areas of your life. Hmm… It’s crystal clear she isn’t ready for marriage and you need to realize that. It’s high time you define the relationship between you guys so that you can work towards a better future. I hope you guys haven’t been sleeping with each other? If yes, you are already destroying the standard. All these breaking up and coming back is rubbish.
Break up once and for all and do it right all over again.

slow down true true. Give her time frame you want settle down and if she isn't ready by that time without tangible reasons then dump her ass.
Re: My Fiancee Ask Me To Slow Things Down - I don't know what to do by ChiefS(m): 1:24pm On Jun 24, 2024
It's possible she is genuinely worried about the areas of your life or character that seem like a red flag and it's also possible that she is using you as spare tyre. If she things she told you about are true then you need to change and see what her response would be.

"We broke up for two years and reconciled 6 months ago grin, " God is speaking to you and you don't want to listen. The cycle is about repeating itself and you are not seeing the trend, you have to be careful. ..
The lady is more emotional matured than him. She sees all the red flag and she has her default though.. but she only pin point his own. The guy, being enraged by his testosterone has reached boiling point grin and sees nada cos he's the one love is shacking instead of the lady now see how desperate he is, now has to dictate the tune.
This one of many reasons why men should engage and be active on relationship therapist vlogs on social media to help shape their masculinity and better their approach to women.

When you guys first broke up, who initiated it?

Like it or not, just like the first time you guys broke up, she is presently seeing someone else and will only get serious with you when that door closes.

It was likely what happened the first time. She came back to you after two years because the guy she broke up with you for gave her breakfast too.

My Friend, do not call her for the main time, give her break(slow down) if she still much interested she will crave for your attention. She is battling with her feelings for you, be ready to accept any decision.

Study the situation, understand it, and then decide whether to invest in it or move on. You do not understand women very well. Women should fight for your love, not the other way around. She should be the one troubled about meeting her parents, not the other way around.

Make a decision today! She is not your wife. You two will never have a lasting relationship because you are the one begging for her love, and she knows it. The moment a woman realizes you love her and can't do without her, she will start hating you. Women will love you when you don't love them. They won't love you when you love them. Take your mind off this weak relationship and move on!

That's really deep and instructive. It's nothing short of a RED FLAG! However, it present you an opportunity for improvement on the areas she's highlighted. Most importantly, you have to be deliberate about having a close substitute in the event she call it a day.
