Don’t propose on my birthday, don’t propose on my graduation day, don’t propose on Valentine’s Day, don’t propose at someone else’s wedding...
Keep the proposal date a separate special day not be shared with other holidays/milestones
Being financially comfortable is enough for me. I dont have to be the richest, I just want to always be able to eat what I want , go where I want , pay my bills on time and give my kids a great life
