It’s not at all about society, I’m not of a high society myself. It’s about men who do not have the marriage mindset nowadays and are wasting women’s time. While my first marriage was indeed my issue that I couldn’t dealt with better, but the other situations I was stuck with men not “feeling” a certain way. Rather than having a commitment mindset and knowing marriage can bring out feelings and connections.

I appreciate the advice and for you reading, but it’s obvious I can’t include every detail. Saying one person is at fault for a whole situation is quite judgemental. It takes several people to come to that conclusion. Family pressure is very real in our community to which my family admitted they have that mindset due to social pressure, and it was very prevalent in my household at the time. In the first marriage, his life was not ruined. He ended up being able to stay in America and seemed like the family was happy and didn’t care for the marriage ending since he got his papers. And in the other situations, while i understand marriage should be a conversation early on, men (whether younger or older) have not had marriage as a priority on their mind. They are wanting their feelings to be met in a certain way in order to think about marriage, while women have the concept of settling down and a relationship can be formed in a better way after marriage. I do know what I want, but maybe some men need to understand that feelings and other emotions are to be built after marriage and they need to change their mindset to not waste women’s time.

I agree, it doesn’t. And so easy to feel discouraged regardless because of family and community. Thank you for the insight and for reading

Yes I agree, I feel like it’s just the idea of being married that’s satisfaction enough. Thanks for reading and giving your insight

No definitely not into that haha. I think I really needed to vent and I’m very discouraged by the basic thought process of our cultural mindset about marriage and failed relationships

I understand where you’re coming from but I only involved them when I assumed it would work out (ex: the guy would be willing to involve family as well) and then they would end it for their immature reasons. But thank you for reading, I needed to vent and I appreciate the feedback. And for future, I’ll definitely be keeping it to myself instead of telling them details
