WTF gets married three times? I know it happens, but the question still stands.
Are people that worried about growing old alone?
My last GF, we dated 18 months (broke up July of '22). She pressed me to get married in short order, and the answer was a hard no. A good amount of drama that eventually led to the breakup. It would've been her third, and it very much felt like someone who just didn't want to be alone.
My side of it, there were things like, she started to complain that I would go out after she was asleep, 8:30PM-9:00PM. Weekend nights we'd go out or stay in together. This would be work nights, and 100% of the time it would be me going to watch an NBA or NFL game, usually just Thursdays and Sundays.
She didn't understand how I could go out in Greenfield, where she lived, where I didn't know anyone else. Hard for her to understand how I could go out alone. So she tried to tell me I wasn't allowed to do it.
Keep in mind, she's asleep while I'm our in those situations. Not just asleep, tucked into bed. None of that was part of the aforementioned drama, but had it lasted as a pressing issue, it would've been. I haven't needed permission to leave the house since I was 14. It wasn't starting again at 52.
