In a recent article written to Dear Abby, a reader expressed frustration over their partner’s reluctance to propose after setting a timeline for engagement. The reader, who is ready to take the next step in their relationship, feels stuck in a post-college lifestyle while all their friends are married and starting families. Despite discussing their desires with their partner, Jeremy, he continues to delay proposing, citing financial reasons and a lack of personal readiness. The reader is torn between waiting for Jeremy to fulfill his promise or moving on to pursue their own happiness.
Dear Abby advises the reader to have a candid conversation with Jeremy about the importance of marriage and the broken promise of a proposal after five years. If Jeremy continues to delay, the reader is encouraged to evaluate the future of their relationship and consider moving on to find happiness elsewhere.
In another letter, a reader seeks advice on dealing with a friend who constantly interrupts them. Dear Abby suggests addressing the issue directly with the friend and setting boundaries to maintain respectful communication.
