It’s like that with everyone.
Everyone has lines they just won’t cross, or something that makes a person say “This just isn’t worth it.” What those lines are and how much one will take before hitting that point vary greatly.
I think we all need to come with the same kinds of warnings they put on various medicines, along the lines of “Your Results May Vary.”
I agree with you. I was referring to the women out there who think they are “all that.” Been there, done that.
I’ve had 3 serious, multi-year relationships in my adult life. I tried my best in all of them. I told them up front, don’t threaten me, don’t belittle me, and don’t embarass me in public. They all did to an extent. They all also seemed surprised as hell when I walked. I told them in the beginning and I told them at the end - If I don’t like the movie, I get up and leave. None of them listened.
WRT the poster with the foreign-born wife, I also had friends from my Navy days who married foreigners. A nice looking girl (Barbie-type) asked me at a party why one of my friends just had to “bring one home with him?” I looked at her and said “You would be the perfect reason.” Evening went down hill from there.
