Proposal: Top Five Things to Consider Before Saying Yes

Is he Generous? If you have had problems with the question of who is paying for dinner. Or if he complains of always paying for the date. It may be wise to think about the question will he pay his fair share of bills in the relationship? You do not want to end up with someone who doesn't think he has to pay bills.

Is he the jealous type? This is something you do not want to deal with for the next 20 years of marriage. If he is constantly questioning you about your whereabouts, or questioning you about who is on the other end of the cell phone, that incidentally you bought with your own money. You may want to reconsider. Example if you just left for the mall and you have been shoe shopping for about an hour, which is not long for the average shoe connoisseur, he repeatedly calls and asks when are you coming home. If he is really creative he will call and ask can you please bring home some Advil for his headache immediately, because he will die if you don't. This is another warning sign. He will not let you out of his sight for more than an hour at a time. When you first start to date this will seem adorable but that will soon become irritating and a sign of future possessiveness.

Does he hate when your friends and family come over to visit? If your boyfriend gets mad every time your mom or best friend comes over to visit, this is a problem. This means he wants to isolate from every one so that he can continue to brainwash you about how you don't need your family. He will say why do you need them around if you have him there to take care of your every need? He may also say if you listen to them they will break up our relationship. Not taking into the consideration they may just like to spend time with you and that they love you.

Does he demand sex, and when you don't submit he gets mad? Ladies this is a big one. If he demands sex and you are not feeling well and he still demands sex even though you have the flu, this is not a good sign. This means he considers you to be his sex slave, and you have to submit whenever he grunts, and if you don't there will be hell to pay! He will retaliate by not talking to you for days on end. The only way that he will talk to you is if you find him in bed, and give in to his sexual demands. Only then will you be rewarded with his witty and intelligent conversation, and possibly get a little affection in return.

Does he correct every thing you say or do? Hello, this is a definite sign that he is saying that he wants to control you, or remake you, because in his eyes you need to be fixed. If he says I don't like the way you wear your hair, or I don't like the way you cook, or if he says why don't you just do it like I told you to do it? This is a deal breaker. It means that he overall does not like you. If he picks on everything you do, he is letting you know he thinks he is more intelligent than you, and that you are beneath him. This will lead to low self esteem and second guessing everything you do.

These are the top five things you may want to examine in your relationship before walking down the aisle. It may just save you from a lot of pain, and eventually paying for a messy and expensive divorce in the future.
