[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. OP I seem to be the only person who is sympathetic to you on this. Although I agree with other posters that your girlfriends reaction to losing her job sounds like it's in the range of normal responses, it doesn't mean that it isn't a red flag. If you're the type of person who is type a and struggles to deal with people with lower initiative, I'd want to know that your girlfriend is a potential bad fit for you - before you marry her. And you guys don't live together. And apparently aren't so close that you're talking about this process. This to me is a big red flag that either you don't know your gf all that well, or that she's A bad fit for you. If I'm another month, your girlfriend doesn't seem to have made much progress, OR isn't opening up to you about the process or her plans, then I would rethink marrying her. In a serious relationship where you're contemplating spending your life together, I think you're entitled to know what your so's plan is for getting a job and producing income. [/quote]

+1,0000.  I was changing jobs last year and I talked to my husband about everything.  At length. The act of getting married does not magically give you a partnership with your spouse. If your gf is hurting and not talking to you about it, that's a very bad sign. [/quote]
