Personal Theory - When the subject of marriage is brought up
Posted on 10/21/23 at 7:08 am

I have a theory. When they, meaning a woman, bring the subject of getting married up, I think a clock starts in their head. Perhaps some clocks are shorter or longer than others, but it seems like they start a countdown timer, even if they don't even actually acknowledge or understand it themselves.
Anybody else ever experience this or have similar thoughts?

Women are planners by nature. They are always evaluating and considering every important decision they make.
They do it with their jobs, their children, their friends, and their daily choices.
You are also one of those decisions.
Don’t take it personal.
Find a girl who is making good decisions everywhere else and convince her to choose you.
Edit: there has been some confusion about my post. The above evaluation is for women making decisions about important things in their lives. (Marriage, college, moving to a new city, etc)
For decisions they deem insignificant (tattoo, get a pet, sleep with Chad, argue with their MIL,etc) it’s all emotion and impulse.

Good point.
In my case, it was just a choice on my of wanting to wait things out longer and see how things went with her child growing up. He's close to the age where things can go batshit at the drop of a hat.
Edit: Some other factors as well, pretty significantly including my not wanting to stay in the same area forever and her understandably not wanting to uproot her son.

When the best friend(s) start getting engaged and married, the heat gets turned way up.

Just know that because her son isn’t yours you will always be lower priority.
Always.
Always.

This is a fact for sure. Can attest to this

Of course. And if it wasn't that way, that would be a really bad sign.
I understand the baws that refuse to date women with kids. I was one of them for a long time. Took a chance and was rewarded greatly for it.

Only holds water as long as emotions (real, perceived, imagined, or otherwise) are not entered into the equation, at which point all bets are off.

So, basically, you're dating a single mother but won't commit to her and blame her son for it.

Nowhere close to reality, but ok.

Wait a second. It isn’t a bad sign for a mother to prioritize her child while dating. In fact, it’s a great sifn.
If however, she is not willing to rightly order things once married ( God, spouse, kids, everyone/everything else) then that would be an issue.
I am divorced and remarried. We both brought kids to the marriage and yes there are times when I have to step aside on something that deals with my stepsons (whom I love dearly! True blessings in my life) but by and large we keep each other as higher priorities. That’s how it was intended to be

When a woman brings up marriage, she's already made up her mind. She is gauging how serious you are.

It is reality. The two reasons you gave revolve around her son. One, you want to take a wait and see approach on how he grows up. Two, you want to move and those plans are hampered by her child. Don't date a single mother if the child cramps your style.

At some point, an internal clock says it is time to build a nest and find a mate that will protect it while they continuously move twigs around in the nest and rear the chirins. If you are in her circle with that happens, you will be considered.

The same with divorces. It's contagious.

Inter-species understanding is not possible. You shouldn't even try.
