expenses. He moved in and later found a new job. They both work in middle
management positions and earn about the same salary. David pays "rent" that is equal
to half the mortgage, and he pays the utilities. other than that, the couple keeps their
finances separate.
Recently, Isabelle gave David an ultimatum. Either they set a date and start planning a
wedding, or she will have to break off the relationship. David is stunned and hurt. He
loves Isabelle very much and would like to continue with the relationship the way it is.
He says he is committed and doesn't see why a piece of paper is so important. He thinks
he might want to have children some day, but until he is ready for that, he doesn't really
see the benefit of marriage. He wants to wait until they are ready to start a family, but
feels that is a long way off. Isabelle feels that David couldn't really love her if he won't
agree to marriage which she wants so much. She feels rejected and powerless.
Everyday she gets more and more angry and resentful toward David for not giving her
what she wants. Her anger is creating a wedge in the relationship and both David and
Isabelle feel they are growing apart.
Questions:
Identify and explain 3 factors that might be affecting David's reluctance to get married?
(For each factor, provide an explanation).
