Boy is that the truth.
If chivalry is dead then it’s for a damned good reason.
God may yet bless you, if you start by loving a man who usually doesn't deserve it.
Men will sacrifice their happiness for their family. Women will sacrifice the family for their happiness.
I’ve seen this up close - my son was married, two young children, no money issues, no abuse, no addictions, ..., but she up and decided she wanted someone else out of nowhere...family be damned.
Our culture tells women over and over, “you’re special”, “you deserve it”, “you deserve what makes you happy”, as though it’s the ONLY thing that matters. A wedding and vows are nothing but a ‘romantic evening’ to brag about on Snapchat. Narcissism extreme. As any young woman, “would you divorce if you felt it might make you happy?”...guess what the universal answer is, with few exceptions. They don’t mean it when they vow ‘until death’.
It is epidemic.
What kind of a fool do you take men to be?
That they would enter into a civil contract with the State wherein the other party is rewarded with the man’s assets and a salary for breaking the contract?
Only absolute fools enter into such a contract with the State.
The woman is merely the State’s representative and beneficiary of the contract.
” At age 64, now I am ready. I’m looking for a Catholic man...”
And he’s looking for a young virgin.
You are delusional
All-Risk, no reward
The man.
At least you had your standards, right?
From a more gutteral perspective, it sounds like you’ve had your fun and now you’re ready to settle down so now you’re standing at a finish line ready to fk a winner who values your presence over your participation.
Every couple has a pre-nup. Its just that mostly it is the one provided by the State where the woman gets half the assets plus the children plus an allowance.
Yep, and a majority that don't involve serial infidelity, physical abuse, substance abuse, etc regret their divorce. The biggest problem is that a woman will leave a man who has 80% of what she needs to chase the 20% she wants.
Women love shopping for a reason
Truth.
“Gutteral”???
It may seem like that to men who pay no attention at all and expect everything to happen favorably for him with no communication, sacrifice or compromise, no matter how much the woman is communicating, sacrificing or attempting to achieve compromise. It comes as a complete shock to such a man.
His response is often, "She's crazy." or "It came out of the blue." or "it was just sex. It didn't mean anything. Why is she dumping me and hurting me like this?"
God bless you, BarbM, what a testimony! May the Lord bless and provide for you according to His Will.
He was there to sign the 1965 immigration act, which abolished the quota system.
Cannot agree. At. All.
Well, you just took yourself out of the running, for any woman whatsoever who has Christian values and suffered accordingly. It seems impossible for you to imagine a person who sacrificed for her family of origin. I know several virtuous conservative women who would have made wonderful wives and mothers, but the overwhelming needs of ill family members or other such demands prevented them from finding someone while young. It’s worse than churlish of you to cast filth on a perfect stranger’s last hope after her life of unappreciated service to others.
You sound like a chick with the insults and guilt shaming. Mom taught you well.
