Immaturity. Nobody should be “desperate” to get married. Marriage is a huge responsibility, and it goes way beyond us loving each other.

Exactly!

They often are not over a serious Ex who they were close to marrying. They are looking for a bandaid fix and emotionally not ready for it.

Makes sense!

They are quick to cut you off at the first problem and can’t work on things. They end up marrying an enabling woman or one who hides all her flaws till wedding day. Then the real cracks start to show in married life and they wonder why their wife doesn’t want to have sex with them or initiates divorce

like

They are either completely in love with you and want to marry you so no one else can have you, which might seem cute but is dangerous because this usually means they haven’t developed to be the best version of them self prior to the marriage and years down the line could lead to cheating, unhappiness, etc. or they are controlling and marriage is just another step to owning you. I would say usually people are just in love and not mature yet, and a lot of people play to the religious tune of not having children before marriage.

Do you think it’s fair to pay full price for a missed appointment? Long story short, I lost track of time by 30 minutes. By the time I realized I messaged her and she said she can’t extend the time due to other clients so I suggested we reschedule for next week. She’s now asking for full payment of $175. I tried to renegotiate so she brought it down to $115. Does this seem fair? Looking for other perspectives

I got to know someone thru work, and flirted a bit over 1 week. Then we never spoke again because of work geography. He reached out this week after 9 months+ asking for a visa sponsor to take a vacay in my country (given mobility restriction these days), and asked me to hook him up with a business visa referral letter thru my connections. He also said he’s coming with gf. I said im happy to write him a personal reference letter, but wont be able to get him a business one. Is this rude?

Ok so. I have been on this journey for almost a year now to try and 'get to know and love myself' and I'm not there yet. I separated from my ex in March of 2020 and divorce was finalized in October 2020.

I want to be happy alone before I meet anyone new. Any tips or advice on how I can effectively accomplish this? Thank you!
