[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you married someone you could have kids and settle down with but not someone you had a deep love connection with or deep attraction — what society seems to call “settling” — how’s it going for you 10+ years in? [/quote]

Why do women do this to themselves? Seriously don't marry just because you want to have children. You are robbing a potential great guy for another woman the chance at being with someone who deeply love him. Instead he doesn't know he was option #2, #3, who knows...[/quote]

On one hand, this is a valid point.  On the other hand, he has agency, and he generally has to initiate the proposal.  [/quote]

DH here:  men don’t really intuit that a woman might be willing to marry someone she has no real feelings for, and they often take the “I love you”s at face value, particularly if she is, as seems to often happen, pretending to enjoy the sex too.[b]  It’s not really agency if you are being provided with inaccurate information on purpose from someone you have reason to trust.[/b][b][/b][/quote]

This is not only a woman problem. Men do this too.

Signed,
A sad DW[/quote]
