8 years and no ring
It should be a given that after a couple has spent some time together courting, that marriage should be the next natural step. That sounds like the natural order of things, yet countless couples are nearing or have passed the decade mark together with no talk of a ring.KK:RD:Ricky:
What would you do if you committed yourself to years in a relationship and your partner has said nothing about marrying you, starting a family, or even giving you solid evidence that they are committed?
I’m leaving! Why would I sit down in a relationship that long and I don’t have a tree growing in my face? That is total wickedness to sit and wait on a man to prove that you are worth it.
Recently I heard a young miss at my office crying to another female friend that her ex, with whom she had spent eight years, was getting married to a 22 year old that he had just met. She said she devoted eight years to this man and he never once mentioned marriage, and four months after they broke up, she saw him posting on Facebook and SnapChat that he was going to marry this girl. She was very hurt and felt betrayed. It affected me and I started to realize that I’ve been in a relationship for seven years and I haven’t heard the words ring or marriage. I am not about to waste any more time so I am planning to ask my man if he is going to marry me or not.
I think women need to give a relationship time to grow. They think life is like a microwave – everything must be instant – and that is where men get scared of women. I was talking to a close friend of mine the other day. He told me he met this beautiful young lady on a dating website and they met up and had a great time. After two weeks of dating, she wants to meet his parents and have his babies. That is a real scary thing to a man. Slow it down ladies and let us men chase you. Once you start to chase, we’re gonna run away from you.
