what's going on oh my gosh I'm so glad to speak to you,

Dr. Laura. Let me give you just a quick. Oh, my gosh. Okay, so I'm 26. I met my boyfriend in

university. We've been dating for five years. I've been patient with him while he's getting his

career started, getting his finances in order. And we've been patient with him while he's getting his career started, getting his

finances in order, and we've been living together for the past four years. So yesterday we had a

conversation about our finances and the smartest move is really to move back home to my home,

both of us, to save some money. And I told him,

I don't feel comfortable moving back home with a boyfriend. So you have to be my fiance if we're

moving back home. It's already been five years. So I'm wondering what's the hold up. And he had this

weird excuse about, oh, we, you know, I have to see how we are in business together,

and we have to do some more things.

Like, I have to go through the Hunger Games to get a ring.

And that really hurt my feelings.

I thought we were going to.

Rachel, Rachel, just take a few breaths and close your eyes and explain to me why an intelligent

relatively confident young woman wants to force a man to marry her i know doctor I don't want to do that.

You're doing that.
