Why do people say, "if a woman isn't married, she can do whatever she wants"?

Just curious, would you be ok with your man having a female friend that very obviously likes him? Whether you trust him or not, I'm sure it would annoy you that he would keep a chick around that clearly wants him, would it not?

Of course it would annoy me. However, I am not his mother. I cannot tell him what to do and who to hang with. I can express my dislike or concern. He can take that into account or not. Based on whether I feel respected I stay or leave. If it ever gets to the point that I need to control what he is doing because I don’t like it, then he is not the one for me. I am not about to mold someone. People are who they are. You take it or leave it.

Getting engaged is what means you are serious about the relationship. If you don't want to marry him/her then you are not serious about being with them.

me & my girl only think of marriage as a ceremony & legal tool.... we value the loyalty... marriage dont mean sh!t cause married people cheat constantly.... if you value that commitment you dont need no ring....

I don't necessarily have an opinion on this but I must say I'm thoroughly enjoying men losing their shyt because women are now adopting their morals. It's quite amusing to watch:laugh:.

Not every man thinks cheating on his woman is ok. Jesus Christ. I hate stupid people.

This is exactly how I feel. :obama:

Answer the question. What is the point in NOT marrying someone after a year(or any time frame) of dating?

It would be because you don't love them, of course.

In which case, it makes no sense to continually exclusively dedicate yourself to them in reality.

I wouldn't be the type to rush into "marriage" but there definitely is a logical fallacy to the "Be faithful and commit yourself to someone you don't love" mantra

It's easy to say take it or leave it, but when you've been with someone for years it becomes a lot more difficult. I don't care too much about money invested, but time invested is simply something you cannot get back. If my girl asked me to stop doing something that could jeopardize our relationship I'd do it. I don't think it's about being someones mother or father, it's about having atleast a little bit of respect for the person you supposedly love, a tree that doesn't bend will always break :manny:

nikka, it's only 1 fukking year, 12 months, 365 days, 52 weeks, that is NOTHING. If you're going to make a commitment to someone for the rest of your life you damn sure better take more than a year getting to know them.

You telling me I should have married my ex after 1 year, when after 2 years it was clear we really weren't for each other as we grew as people.
