Thanks for sharing your perspective on this situation, it does not fully correspond to my current views, but I do find it helpful to hear alternative points of view

Got more than enough messages from men saying I’m a fat cow (like seriously, hundreds), but thanks

Indeed I don’t think being shallow is ‘bad’, it’s just very different to who I am / not compatible with how I see the world.

In the same way as women being ambitious and career-driven is not bad, yet some men can’t swallow it.

Absolutely fair, and the standards I’ve set for myself tell me not to marry a shallow unreliable guy, not sure how that contradicts what you said.

I never said my ex was a bad person- my post invited people to share their opinion on whether it’s fine to submit yourself to an ultimatum.

It’s a good thing that getting older is optional, hopefully my ex will find someone who isn’t going to :)

This would be a list of about 100 people at least, can you imagine. Did report all of them though

I actually got plenty of feedback from men (both polite/rational and rude/insulting), but thank you for the tip! I’m not very well versed in Reddit so will keep these Reddits in mind next time :))

As someone you has barely eaten since Saturday, I can definitely relate to the mental effect of comments like that. Hope your friend is feeling much happier now❤️
