is she being unreasonable (dating, married, man, husband)

i dont think i could find someone better than her , im however happy with how i dealt with this , ive spoken to her since and while i told her i loved her and that i did not want to see her upset , i also told her their was nothing i could do about how she felt about the whole thing and that i do not see it as something to be upset about

she needs me more than i need her so i dont think she is going anywhere

Are you paying her bills?

If she is this bossy as a GF gawd forbid when you marry her.

I agree though if she moves in or becomes LTR that's different.

But since he can't do any better than her, how do you suggest he handles his predicament?

What society is that, bob? I've heard it's true in Russia, but that's a very old-fashioned society.

If both of you have a flat, I wouldn't recommend that one of you give that up to move in together. What if things don't work out, and one of you needs to find a flat, again? That could be difficult.

Why not just include her? You don't have to take her advice, just talk about it.

It's not that hard to do.

Your gf is bonkers. Even if she was your wife, you need to make the decisions. You're the expert and you'll be responsible if you make the wrong decisions. My wife and I both have professional positions. We might discuss things, but I don't overrule her decisions in her job and she certainly doesn't overrule mine. Tell your gf she's bossy and myb.

You need to have a non-confrontational discussion about this. Simply explain that your business decisions are business decisions.

But if you own your own business and you plan to marry her in the next year or so, then yeah I could see why she's concerned.

She already thinks it's her money!

Sounds like you guys need to have a serious chat about the business and your relationship, and how she factors into it. Make it clear to her that you love her and want to have a life with her but business is business and you can't always combine your love life and business.

That's one thing I love about my girlfriend: she actually has a business degree, but she trusts me 100% in terms of my business plans and ideas because while I don't have a business degree myself, I've been doing business for years. I will ask her for advice or opinion at times - especially because I'm an American, she's Chinese, and we live in China - but she has faith in me to conduct my own business and provide a life for us.
