Dear Coleen: 'My girlfriend needs to change before I can propose to her'

"Nothing is ever good enough for my girlfriend."04:30, 17 Aug 2026Dear ColeenI’ve been with my girlfriend for three years and have been thinking of proposing. We’re both 29 and we’ve had a few conversations about it.I would have done it sooner, but I keep waiting for her to grow up a bit and appreciate how fortunate she is because, at the moment, her attitude stinks.She literally has everything going for her – a good family, stunning looks, a fun job and loads of friends, plus me – but nothing is ever good enough.This past weekend is a good example. We were staying in a hotel for a few days and offered a free upgrade to a rooftop suite, as there were a couple of functions going on.‌Anyone else would have been made up with a suite of rooms that included a rooftop deck with a private hot tub
