He got the best 10 years of her life. He may have "talked" about marriage, but talk is meaningless. Why should he buy the cow when he was getting the milk for free?

I dunno if a teenager sees things quite like that, but in retrospect, that is what he got.

Or he finally grew up and found out she was just crazy. Cause when it comes right down to it...they’re all crazy...just differently on the logarithmic scale

Girls that wait for marriage. They find out the character of the man pretty quickly. They have a good conscience and spare themselves years of neurotic merry-go-round drama. The worldlings mock Christians and can’t figure out why themselves feel miserable and used.

In other words she’s found the strength of box wine and Netflix

“Learned to practice self-compassion...”

Is that what they’re calling it now?

And she writes the Insider’s dating advice column? I guess her advice is “do the opposite of what I did.”

Without Jesus at the heart of a relationship all is for naught.

It wasn’t free. Theres nothing free for men when it comes to dating and courting women. Only women think its free for men.

And if she was the one who wanted to end it and he didn’t, the women here would be totally supportive of her and the guy just needs to suck it up and move on. There would be tue same total support for herno matter what, and the guy is the ahole no matter what.

Thanks for proving me right ladies.

It wasn’t until recently that my husband introduced me to the personality type of Sigma male and Sigma female.

When I saw the video describing the Sigma male, I turned to my husband and exclaimed, “Honey, that’s you!”

He then showed me the video describing the personality traits of a Sigma female. “That’s you,” he stated.

Not enough men and women are secure enough in themselves to walk through life alone. I knew the qualities I wanted in a husband (loyal, trustworthy, religious, hardworking, independent, strong) because those were traits I embodied. I was more than content not marrying; I could not marry someone I did not truly love because that person deserved to be loved completely, whole-heartedly.

I could tell within a few dates if the relationship would last and would end it gracefully. I did not sleep with any of them and did not string them along. I dated some very fine young men and sincerely wished them only the best when we parted. I genuinely rejoiced for them when they found their future spouses.

I didn’t experience “true love” until I met my husband. I knew by our 1st date that I was more attracted to him than any other man I had ever met. I knew by the 6th date that we were aligned. At 3 months, I knew I wanted to marry him. By the end of our first year, he wanted to marry me.

As much as I wanted him and enjoyed spending time with him, I was going to give the relationship 6 more months and then end it if things did not progress. I don’t give my heart easily and would prefer to be alone than with someone who didn’t share my level of commitment. I never told him this, since pressuring a man to commit is not the honorable path.

Three months later, he proposed. Thirty two years later, we are still inseparable.

Had I not met him, I would still be by myself and content with that.

Unless she was prepared for a future alone, she was foolish to dedicate so much if her life to a man who would not commit to her.

Her choice.

Notice how all these articles are written from the woman’s point of view.

The manosphere has been banned and canceled.

Maybe the guy figured out that the deck was stacked against him once he got married.

She was a fool. If he didn’t want a serious committed relationship after about a year, she should have moved on and found the guy who’d put a ring on her finger. She wasted years of her life with that piece of crud.
