[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also young women need to be honest with themselves about if this is the relationship they really want, just as it is. I wasted years with a guy who was willing to commit and did propose, but I was unwilling to move forward myself unless certain things about him and our relationship changed. I would advise women not to stay with a guy that they would want to marry only if something about him changed. Most likely it will never change and all your time will have been wasted.[/quote]

This is so true!

We've all heard this too many times, within our network of friends. We don't use this information to make decisions regarding our own relationships no matter how many times we hear the stories.

[b]Why?[/b]

Especially, for women in their 20s who have years and years of opportunity ahead of them.

I think it's because when you're young (in your 20s) you mistakenly feel that you will be young forever. You only [i]think[/i] you have years and years of opportunity ahead of you. You don't have perspective until you get older. By your late 20s you may get serious about finding someone to settle down with, but then you date for a couple of years without finding anyone right, and before you know it you are 30 or 31 and heading up toward 40. You know it's best to have kids before age 35 (anything after that is considered "advanced maternal age" and higher risk) and you may start to panic and make bad decisions. [/quote]

I think you also get love blinders, and willfully minimize the issues.  That's what happened to me.[/quote]
