Why are men choosing not to marry anymore?

142. I think it was manipulation and active desire to hurt me. And lying.

Yes, I am incredibly stupid when it comes to relationships, because I didn't know what a healthy relationship looked like. My parents griped at each other constantly and never resolved everything.

The first one couldn't keep it in his pants and flaunted his affairs. Slept with seven of my girlfriends. I didn't run around on him.

The second one told me that I had to "earn his respect" (after marriage) and of course, I would never meet his standards that he never explicitly told me. Never said he loved me, withheld affection, stopped taking baths in order to discourage me touching him, didn't think it was his responsibility to encourage me, basically thought women were "strange". Disappeared on weekends riding dirt bikes with his macho buddies.

His idea of marriage was what I would call living in a boarding house.

Then he would do things that he told other people were to punish me, without telling me anything except "you don't do this and that". He had hobbies I enjoyed doing with him, but he stopped doing them with me after I had a baby, in order to punish me, because he was quote, "tied down by a baby".

After he nagged me into a physical breakdown, he told the babysitter that I was "faking it" and "bribed the doctor to put me in the hospital with pneumonia" (severe bacterial pneumonia, had to get my lungs rinsed out several times so I wouldn't die).

Some people just don't understand nice. I wonder how he would have treated me if I had ever argued with him or raised my voice against him? I still can't figure out what his problem is. I think it's called "sociopath".



I learned the hard way not to go out with men with bad attitudes about everything. Almost died before I learned to get away from tiresome people.
