In a healthy relationship, your partner hears you out if youโre upset, and their goal is to avoid upsetting you in the future, not debate whether you should have been upset in the first place, or make you feel as though your emotional experience is wrong.
your partner coming to you about something youโve done wrong isnโt a personal attack. itโs a healthy sign they value the relationship and want to make it work โ itโs a heads up. you communicate, you fix it, you stay. thatโs emotional maturity. thatโs commitment. thatโs love.
Donโt propose on my birthday, donโt propose on my graduation day, donโt propose on Valentineโs Day, donโt propose at someone elseโs wedding...
Keep the proposal date a separate special day not be shared with other holidays/milestones
