who would you pick?

The above is very well said !

I was in kind of exactly same situation … a little worse than hers and it was a disaster.

From my engagement day he started controlling me. I knew him for 2 weeks before engagement and I think those were the best I ever had with him , he was completely different during those 2 weeks. Khair , a couple of my friends attended my engagement and the very next day he called me and told me to not meet one of my friend ever again and end my friendship with her …why ? because he did not like what she was wearing. Anyway , after a month of engagement I was being given a chance to go abroad form for a week training , he made me quit that too . Now I really was trying to understand the fact he is going to be my husband so he is being possessive and I tried to took it normally. After marriage , he did not like me speaking with my dad or my uncles , he did not like my family to even visit me once a week. So much so , he even did not let me talk with his bhabis & his uncles & aunts ( u know I have never met his cousins , khala , mamoo , chacha etc anyone) . Whereas he himself was friendly with his bhabis to an observable extent , he had a friend who was actively involved in wrong activities and used to sleep around with women etc. So many times I asked him to avoid company of such a friend but that would always resulted in screams & shouts. He used to check my mobile everyday and I was not allowed to even touch his. The fact was that he had a problem with every relationship that I had in my life.

Now mine was an extreme case but such stuff from your fiancé’ are alarming. Observe them , if your friend thinks that he is too much controlling than it will get worse after marriage …don’t ignore them. Then after marriage he will not only control her friendships but even what she ate , when she ate , when she slept , what she wore , her finances , her relationship with her family everything. Like everyone said think alot , measure all the pros and cons and take a decision.
