Wait a second. It isn’t a bad sign for a mother to prioritize her child while dating. In fact, it’s a great sifn.
Right, that's what I was saying as well.

Beware, I’m pretty sure some women also consider the concept of “first marriage” which is an insurance policy they use so they can swing vine to vine until they marry the next level up.
I’ve seen a few women do this.

It's not reality that I blame her son for anything.
Is it a hard reality of the situation? Sure. But that's a far cry from blaming a kid I care about for something.

My first real girlfriend was my junior year in college. Dated 18 months. She was the perfect girlfriend, crazy good in the sack but brought up marriage.
Just ruined the whole thing. I was 21. Come on man. We lasted another 6 months.
Me and my wife got married at 27.

Bingo. Most are linear thinkers when it comes to issues. Everything has a series of tasks that must be completed to obtain the goal. If something breaks that line of thought or their plans, they get very bamboozled.
However, when arguing a point, they are anything but linear.

It's possible, but you have to learn to stop listening to what she says she's saying and pay attention to the subtext and her actions. Things get a lot clearer when you ignore the literal words coming out of her mouth.

Maybe blame is too judgemental of a word to use. But the reasons you won't commit are because of the child. How long have you dated? Do you get along with the kid?

When they, meaning a woman, bring the subject of getting married up, I think a clock starts in their head. Perhaps some clocks are shorter or longer than others, but it seems like they start a countdown timer,
That’s not a theory man.
You’re being told to shite or get off the pot. Marry her, move on, or if you have a well thought out reason why you won’t, it’s time to present your case.

That's the damn truth.

"Nothing"

Men do the same thing but it is not a conscious decision with a guy. For a guy it is sort of like being in heat but not being aware of it. For guys, if a girl comes along during the unconscious heat period a guy will propose sometimes to his detriment.

That's more fair I think.
We're not together anymore. Things came to a head. But yes, he and I got along great. We did family vacations twice a year and other outings. I am really glad I got to have the experiences I did with him and her.
We both liked living on our own and being responsible for our own lives. Probably a case of just growing apart. Her not wanting to hold me back, me wanting to hold off until I see how his adolescence shapes up.

Can you make a single post that isn't terrible?

Have no clue how this got so many up votes. Evaluating and considering every decision they make??
The reality is women truly do have a biological clock. In their 20's it speeds up because most are at their prime attraction wise and its their best opportunity to find a good mate and have a child.
In their 30's its a ticking time bomb because their best child rearing years are almost up and physically they're going downhill.
Add on the pressures of friends tying the knot and having kids and it just speeds up the ticking in their heads.
ETA: couple that with the fact that men don't have a biological clock from a reproductive standpoint, and men tend to age better than women, and you get what we think are "crazy" attached women, but it's really just biological timing differences.

Over evaluating, over thinking.

I find men struggle much more with the clock.
Women do better being single than men do.
Especially now.
It’s always been a myth that women need a man and marriage.
Men need it much more.
