i dont get why men think there is no alternative to escalating relationships. you can just say no. seems pretty clear early on this was what she wanted, and he didnt. he could have just said no.

once in a conversation with my coworker who hates his wife, generally his entire life, and he said "well you know, it was either get married or break up, and so you know what happens then ..." and i was like "yeah you break up" and he was like "if that ever happened to you, you'd know you get married instead of break up" and i said "remember a couple of company picnics ago, katlyn? thats why we broke up" and he was flabbergasted. like it had never even occurred to him that you could just say no to be married.

also gotta love the passive aggressive boomer logic that exist here. i get rapped on all the time in PARF for being unmarried, as if it makes me unsuccessful, and then in divorce threads everyone is like being married sucks. same posters most of the time.

Can you explain that? Is that a generalization? (not logical, from a philosophical POV.)
