How long should you wait for a woman to decide what they want?Probably not as long as picrel. But how long is it acceptable for a man to wait.
>>83492962I would never "date". You're either serious about marriage or youre wasting my time.
If my partner doesn't propose to me in 3 years of being together I'm dipping, idk. It's individual of course but I'd say if you've been on vacation together, lived together, gone through hardships together, met each others family and have been in a relationship for 2-5 years there should be marriage on the table. Waiting longer just doesn't make sense to me unless you've been highschool sweethearts
>>83492992Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure the dating part comes before the marriage part. Unless it's an arranged marriage like in India or something.
>>83492962>get everything a wife should for free >housing, gifts, immediate emotional validation, a drooling, adoring admirer>"What??? Why doesn't she want to marry me???" She doesn't need to. She got the milk, why should she buy the cow? Anyway, if you're not talking seriously about getting married after like a year, move on with your life.
>>83492962>>83492992why the FUCK would you ever get married?
>>83493046Well, the idea is that it's culturally an expression of ones fondness for another.
>>83493058and when your wife gets bored she just stops having sex with you, and the only way out is a divorce that heavily fucks your financial being over.
>>83493040He says he was trying to express his feelings and desires for her repeatedly over the years. I don't think that's he's in the wrong here. Except maybe for trusting her since she was lying the whole time.
>>83493066So, you date someone long enough to figure that part out. What I'm asking about, is how long is too long?
>>83492962>>83492992>>83493073I don't understand, what is the point of officially getting married?If you live together and do all the same stuff as when you are married what is the point?>>83493040>get everything a wife should for freewhat payment isn't he receiving?
>>83493097>you date someone long enough to figure that part outthere is no "long enough". women will sometimes do a complete 180 no matter how long you date before marrying. it usually happens after your first or second kid.
>>83492962this kind of thing scares me because it shows that you can have a long term gf and still be in the friendzonehe's not even a bf to her, he's just a live in attention dispenser. She might even like his attention enough to have unenthusiastic duty sex with him a couple times a month, but that isn't the same thing as genuine attractionwild. There being an even 1% chance of meeting a woman like this makes me not even want to date
>>83493221IS this the friendzone? At least the friendzone is honest. She just straight up lied to him for years while he worshiped her like a puppy. At least the friendzone is honest. I think this is worse.
