One- the man finally proposed and married her at 43 after dating for 10 yrs. Too late for kids by that point, though there was some talk about adoption. Unfortunately she ended up dying just a couple years later of an aggressive uterine cancer that I speculate maybe could have been avoided had she had kids.
Two- the woman is super progressive and has no interest in marriage or kids.
Uh, what? This sounds like a looney tunes conclusion.

+1. OP sounds like a judgy old fool. And what’s with her last sentence? Women are not trash to be “disposed” of.

I met a few couples recently where the couple has been together for a long time (decade) and not married. Woman clearly wants marriage and children but probably now past childbearing age. In these situations, the guy seems to hold all the power and money.
Why would you stay so long with someone who won’t marry you?
I feel like the guy could dispose of these women at any moment.
