I've known a married couple in a professional setting for over a year now. I thought they seemed like a solid unit and both very high value. However... I recently learned that they're only married because the woman gave the man an ultimatum. When he wouldn't commit, she set the wedding date herself and started planning, and then sent him an e-invite!
She was so proud of herself while telling this story. The other women listening told her how awesome she was, how they had so much more respect for her now, and how it was this big bold powerful move. I was just shocked speechless.
I cannot imagine living with a man who wasn't crazy about marrying me, and yet pickmes think it's some kind of flex..? Very strange. And it goes to show, it's hard to be certain about people who put on a high value front.
An excellent quote I read once that stuck with me was "Don't compare your inside to somebody else's outside".
It was actually about feeling insecure and inadequate because you are struggling while other people seem to have it all together on the outside and to be living the perfect life. I think it applies very well to this situation, too. You never know what's going on in a relationship that seems perfect when the doors are closed. And you never know if that woman you admire who seems to have the perfect life isn't wearing yesterday's underwear under her perfect outfit because she forgot to do laundry and cried this morning because she also feels completely overwhelmed and burnt out at work.
She's probably exhausted in their relationship. Most likely she is forever seen as the 'planner' now and has to constantly remind him to even buy her a birthday gift. NAH SIS.
I think I shared this on here before. When I worked at a daycare, there was a couple that radiated love. The way they looked at each other filled the room with so much light. They literally glowed!
The teachers always looked forward to receiving their child's annual fall/winter postcards because all three of them looked so incredibly cute!
One day, while I was watching TV at home, I almost spit out my drink when I saw the dad on screen. I was like, "Mr. ___?"😂. Turns out, he was a musician! I was fucking dead lol!
In the interview, he talked about his marriage. He said he was so afraid of getting married that he strung his now-wife along for 10 years. 10! On the 10th year, she gave him an ultimatum, and he finally went through with it & they had their child. He said his biggest regret was wasting their time as a couple and not getting married sooner. He also said he enjoyed every moment of being married with her.
I wish I had never heard any of that lmfao! Although they looked great together I knew too much about them on a professional level 💀!
what a pickme loser hahahahahahhaah
patriarchy really has a way to undermine female self esteem to a level that is hard to describe. this is proof. i don't even feel sorry for somebody who lacks that much self awareness.
I always say you never truly know everything that goes on in a marriage if you are not part of the marriage (and sometimes even if you are part of the marriage).
Lol omg! I don't know how you kept a straight face when she told that story!
