She has reasons for the no-sex thing... I won't share them here... sorry. But I respect that, and I will not attempt to persuade her to do something she's not comfortable with. If she feels that she wants that... then we will discuss it, I'm not going to let it be a heat of the moment thing until AFTER a discussion.

Yes that kills some romance... but that is something she needs to have some control over.

1) Bwahahahahahaahhahahaha! reminds me of my infatuation with Deborah Foreman (Valley Girls) back in the 90s

2) Moving can be fun.

3) At least it's not "wait until married"


BTW, I propose in a month and was married 7 months later. I don't think things are moving too fast.

Stop complaining and be a man about it. If you aren't in love with her break it off. If you are, discuss NOT MOVING.

1) If I weren't in love... I wouldnt be having this discussion...

2) She's considering the move because she is in her last year of finishing her MD, after which she will need to do a 3 year residency. Where she lives is dependant upon where she gets the residency.

I am NOT going to be like sorry... give up your dream of being a doctor, so you can live with me. I am not tied down here, so if someone is going to make the sacrifice it only makes sense for it to be me.

-Max

EDIT: She is applying to Residency programs in this area as well... it's just a matter of where she gets in. If she gets into a good program here, then I'm sure we won't have a problem.

Sex is a huge part of a relationship. If you end up not matching well in that area it can lead to an unhappy marriage, adultery, or divorce. If you want to wait, fine, but know that that's a real risk. It would be a real downer to find that out after getting married.

So I'm not crazy to be thinking about it after only 4 months then? Cuz I've always told people who thought about it that fast crazy....

Now I feel like a hypocrit.

i concur.

It really isn't that bad.

Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with most of the people who say it's so bad. I'm in Japan visiting my gf for the first time in 6 months and there's no problems. Though, earlier tonight she told me "fvck you"......

They were asking because your gf's behaviour (no sex before engagement, playing hard to get) sounds more like that of an asian girl than a white girl.

Yes, phyisical intamacy is a big part of a relationship, but it's something that can be worked on and improved. If sex is all you've got, you're fsked.

He said he was white. We still don't know what ethnicity his g.f. is.

EDIT: Nevermind. He answered a few seconds before I made my post.

just remember what you're getting into... doctors have crazy hours. Make sure that your schedules will be able to match up so you can spend time with her after marriage. It doesn't help if you guys will never see each other, as that will most likely end up in divorce or adultery.
In short, there is no substitute for time.

True to a point, but I'm always wary of girls who wait. Seems like quite often, having grown up thinking of sex as "the bad thing", upon marriage they retain much of that mentality. Odds are the op, being male, has a healthy (read: high) sex drive, and so that can lead to problems.
