In a recent letter to Dear Abby, a woman expressed frustration over her partner, Jeremy, failing to propose after setting a timeline for their engagement early in their relationship. Despite reaching the specified marks of five years together or Jeremy turning 30, he still hasn’t popped the question. This has left the woman feeling confused, worried, and resentful, especially as she sees her friends moving forward with their own relationships. Jeremy claims he’s not ready due to financial reasons and prioritizing his hobbies, but he also mentioned that marriage has no meaning or joy for him unless she wants it.
Dear Abby advised the woman to have a frank discussion with Jeremy about their differing views on marriage and his failure to keep his word about proposing. She suggested that if Jeremy still isn’t ready after five years, the woman should reconsider the future of their relationship.
In another letter, a reader sought advice on dealing with a friend who constantly interrupts her. Dear Abby suggested being straightforward with the friend about the behavior and asking why she feels the need to constantly interrupt.
