Women & Their Ridiculous Fear Of Long-Term Relationships That Don’t Lead To Marriage
“Whatever leverage you believe a boyfriend has over you is multiplied when you are married.”
It is almost scary the way some women spend so much precious time convincing themselves that they must be wives. I don’t know what it is about marriage, but I truly believe they will sell their souls to belong to someone through this institution. It is absolutely everything to them. It is their ultimate life goal. And I am scratching my afro attempting to figure out why.
Their overwhelming ridiculous rationale is that if a man isn’t married to you he is using you, and so they are cautious to only “date for marriage,” as if all relationships are supposed to run smoothly into this end goal.
Here’s the thing: whatever leverage you believe a boyfriend has over you is multiplied when you are married. Men hold immense power in marriage, not you. This is why men, through religious indoctrination, the media, and other facets of our society work around the clock to convince women from girlhood that we are nothing without it.
