Shouldn't more women propose to their man to avoid their "time" being wasted?

Ladies don’t end up like Chrissy from love and hip hop.

I'm confused by this because Jim was pressing marriage more than she was

She may have proposed but she was the one with the cold feet and excuses

Women lose interest in marriage a lot faster than men, which sex files for divorce more? :jbhmm:

Marriage is not a committment, women pressure men for the validation they get from other women, nothing more nothing less. It ain't even about losing half, marriage is a worthless contract and the easiest one to renig on :camby:

Lot of people who want to get married dont even know who the person is they want to marry, they just know somewhere out there is a human being they need to validate and/or complete them. Most people go into relationships/marriages with this need for validation as their primary motivator and be :dwillhuh: when it falls apart. Marriage does nothing but cost money and leave you with a title that let's all future partners know u tried marriage and failed.

It sounds good but most women are too cowardly and afraid to put themselves in that position.

Some of these chicks would rather take a chance of having years of their life wasted on a man than take the reins and put themselves in a position to be accepted or rejected. Many women don't know it but they're inherently comfortable playing that role of letting someone else decide their future and crying about the results later if it doesn't go well.

The most appropriate thing to do would be to have a discussion about it. Proposals shouldn't really be a surprise. It's a huge life decision and everyone should be on the same page.

Her obvious lack of communication is the reason she's in the situation she's in.

Nah we gotta overcomplicate shyt on here

I agree. People just kind of go with the flow when it comes to relationships. No one ever expects it to go the distance initially so planning for future is rarely done.

I should add some context. She's 38 and he's 30. They're both professionals. I've met him a few times and breh is just laid back. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy to so something like propose unless there is an incentive to.

This is it right here. He doesn't want to be locked down with some woman approaching 40 and he's barely out of his 20's...and with options.

He's not the same inexperienced, naïve kid he was when they hooked up.

Long story short, a friend of my sister has been in a relationship with her man for 10 years. Yes 10 YEARS! She confided in my sister and myself, asking if she should propose to him and of course my sister told her not to because that's desperate.

But isn't waiting ten years for a man to propose to you even more desperate? I told her straight she's got nothing to lose at this point. It's obvious she's afraid of rejection so she'd rather convince herself he will propose eventually. They already have a child together.:snoop:

Ladies. Make it make sense. You get upset with men saying they string you along but choose not to break traditions despite living in an untraditional relationship.

Why continue to be in a long term relationship and not force the breh 's hand? Wouldn't you rather know whether a man wants to commit to you or not rather than waste your good years and egg to a loser?
This is why I don't do relationships right now

I ain't getting married anytime soon and maybe never

The #gmb crowd says find a woman who doesn't care about all that if you don't want to get married

Good luck finding a woman like that in 2019

10 years is a long time though

A very long time

She should have asked him what his opinions on marriage years ago

It's possible he loves her but doesn't want to be married

It's also possible he has some hesistation when it comes to marrying her for whatever reason

That's what y'all need to get to the bottom of

It's possible he can't imagine signing those papers because of the potential consequences of doing so

If they have a child together he is probably just doing right by her until the child is old enough so he can dip.

Nah they should date men that have plans to constantly grow and evolve.
And be prepared to leave if such growth doesn't occur.
A lot of nikkas will happily fukk you as long as you let them :yeshrug:

Can you intelligently explain in your own words how marriage symbolizes growth?

And if marriage is so grown and mature why do most of them end in divorce?

Well in my opinion, a healthy relationship grows over time.
You go from "just talking" to "kicking it", to "going steady" to "moving in" to "engaged" etc etc.
Many people consider marriage the ultimate expression of two peoples commitment to each other.
Whether you agree or not, surely you can agree that a relationship that is stagnant for years shows no growth.
A woman not gon wanna just kick it with you for 10 years.
Unfortunately, divorces occur when one party or both are no longer on the same page, relationship-wise, due to a myriad of reasons.

Call me backwards old fashioned non progressive whatever you like...


Women proposing to men is sucka shyt. shyt is NOT RIGHT
So, it's fair to say you think men and women aren't equals? Cause why should my equal be absolved from proposing to someone they want?

And these questions are also for all individuals in here who stated no and/or voted no.
