If she would be open, I'd immediately recommend an excellent book: "Why Men Marry Some Women and Not Others" by John T. Malloy. (of the "Dress for Success" fame.)<BR/><BR/>It's a fascinating book and pretty much claims that the majority of marriages happen because the woman finally puts down her foot and says "Marry me or I'm outta here." Now, said woman also has to be prepared for the possibility that the guy will say, "I'm outta here."<BR/><BR/>But I say to women, "What would you prefer? Wasting one or two year of your life waiting for a dud to get around to asking you to marry him, which he won't - or wasting 5-10 years waiting for it?"<BR/><BR/>It's not like we're getting younger by the day. If a woman wants marriage, then she should stay focused. Too many men are only too willing to use a woman with no intention of ever marrying her.<BR/><BR/>Ultimatums can never be half-hearted or they really aren't ultimatums. She's going to have to make a decision sooner or later and the longer she waits, the harder it will be.<BR/><BR/>Tell her it's like pulling off a band-aid. It's better to get it over quick and deal with the sharp sting than prolong the misery.. (wry smile)<BR/><BR/>I'm glad she has you as a friend. You're speaking the truth and whether she wants to hear it or not, I hope she realizes deep down she needs to hear it. :-)Mary Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04107504165449607702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781753636089506134.post-48358698563449766462008-06-02T16:42:00.000-04:002008-06-02T16:42:00.000-04:00This is an inspired post LOL! My little friend "E"...This is an inspired post LOL! My little friend "E" is so far down the path of relativism she can't even see that loving a movie like SATC while waiting for the BF of 2 years (that she is shacked up) with to propose just doesn't jive with her hope of having a house in the 'burbs, 2.1 kids and a dog and actually being able to celebrate her Silver Wedding Anniversary someday. Pathetic. It's to the point where I can't even talk to her about this stuff.<BR/><BR/>Since Loverboy is dawdling with his proposal plans I asked her: what's going to happen if you get pregnant? She ignored me. She's 29 in a couple weeks and her clock is ticking and maybe she is secretly hoping that does happen. Who knows.<BR/><BR/>In one email she complains she is sick of waiting and gave him a half-hearted ultimatum. The next day (after some charitble admonishment from me) she is all bubbly and saying he WILL ask her. I said "then stop complaining - you made the choice." Sheesh!Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046773358292402621noreply@blogger.com
