I asked myself this question.
I thought about this several times. I know why I didn't want to get married.
After the kids after the engagment, then the fighting after the baggage from his previous relationships, I realised it wasn't even worth it. Now he has all the time in the world but if he gave me an ultimatum to leave or to marry him when before we had the kids I would have left and lived my life the way that it's supposed to be lived then.
Men don't give ultimatems when they are the ones Effing up and you are the one forgiving. They will try to get away with what they can fo rthe time being until then they will waste your time if they know for sure they don't want to get married or if they know for sure you don't want to marry them they will sit there as long as you sit there.
IT takes a strong woman to say to herself I don't need you anymore I'm fine by mysef I can make it on my own with my one two three kids.
It's like a divorce without a chance to get married You've already been divorced.
It's the same reaction the kids have the same result as if you've been married. What the hell is the difference?
You look at someone who is divorced you're thinking hmm this person was in a relationship that failed. Look at someone with some kids broken up form a long term relationship DIVORCED.
