Idk, it has been a very different experience for me. Every man I dated wanted to marry me. Not that this is a bragging right because some I did end up marrying and some I knew from the beginning that I wouldn’t but I would let them think what they want in the beginning and I would eventually say “that’s not gonna happen” and they were seriously thinking that it would, until I left them! I still have some as friends and they all say they are still in love with me. TBH, I’m not sure why, I am frank and upfront, I tell it like it is, and i demand my way! Which has caused some conflict in the relationships but for some odd reason they all wanted me to be their wife! And I’m talking from 15-40. There were periods when I was alone and wouldn’t give any man the time or day and their were 3 times where I was married, totally in love and left the relationship and divorced due to their “addiction” coming out and i would say from the beginning; I don’t deal with; abuse in any form, cheating, drugs/alcohol addiction, and lying because I’m very big on Loyalty! Well after a few years it would come out that they were doing drugs or alcohol so I would try to give them a chance to correct it before I would leave. So idk, maybe there is something wrong with the way I approach things. Some of my friends say that I put it all out there in the beginning so I do not allow their true colors to come out because they are scared of loosing me until they can’t hide it anymore and it eventually does come out! I sure don’t have it figured out. And I’m single at the time but won’t go back to my ex’s that keep begging me back. No you screwed up, I warned you from the beginning now that’s your bad!
Why is it all about them and what they want or need? Whenever people ask me if I was married I say no I don’t need the headache.
It’s highly offensive when people think I ought to want those things because I’m female.
