Chapter 1: What is the main theme of this episode?
Hi, everyone, and welcome to this week's episode of Father Knows Something. We got the crew.
The trio.
We are now like in the third week of February. I don't know.
This will come out like February 17th, that Monday, or Tuesday, 18th then? I don't know. Somewhere in there.
Somewhere in there. So anyway, we've had a great week. Been busy and a wonderful, wonderful day today. So now let's kick this thing off. What's our theme tonight?
Yeah. Are you going to say hi? You just haven't said a word there.
Oh, I just was enjoying listening about the wonderful week and the wonderful day.
Our audio listeners would have no idea that you were here.
I was waiting for some specifics of, you know, we could get to know you, what's going on in your life, but just great week, great day. That's what we got. Yes.

Chapter 2: How to handle criticism from a partner about cooking?
Is this the finale?
Maybe. You're going to be able to stay awake for us down there?
I'm awake, baby. Number five. Cinco.
Hi from Tasmania. I, 22 female, and my boyfriend, 22 male, have been together for three years, two of which we did long distance while he was in the army. Although we only saw each other once every three months, I still considered our relationship a very strong one, and the distance between us didn't make a difference to me. Fast forward to now.
My boyfriend has left the army, and we've been living together for about eight months. On New Year's Eve 2024, I was convinced that he was going to propose. It was our anniversary and my boyfriend had told me at the last minute that we weren't going to my family New Year's Eve party. We were instead going on a romantic camping trip, just the two of us.
When the night passed and he hadn't proposed, I was devastated. I told him why I was so obviously upset and he said that we wouldn't be getting engaged so soon as, quote, two of the years we have been together didn't really count. To me, the time we were apart counts the most. I know with 100% certainty that he is the man I will be with forever.
But since New Year's Eve, I can't stop thinking about how he doesn't feel like we are ready for the next step when I am so ready. My boyfriend has reassured me that I'm the woman he wants to be with and we will be getting engaged, so I don't understand what he is waiting for.
I hope you will be able to offer some advice on how to push aside this feeling of wanting more and getting quite annoyed while waiting for him to catch up to the level that I'm on. A lot of people go through this. Yeah, a lot of people.
Go figure. You know, when you're together, I know everyone wants that knowing security that they're ready to commit and they're going to be there. And sometimes we just have to put back and just say, they're coming home to me. They're there for me. I'm there for them. And we have this relationship.
