When to get married.
My dad picked me up last Sunday so I could buy a new car on Monday. Our conversation generally covers Illini basketball and Bulls basketball, but occasionally ventures out into other topics.
Well, my dad said to me that I would probably be sleeping on the couch, because my uncle is sleeping in the spare bed at my grandma's new house next door. A week or so before, I was told he was living with my brother, however, I'm not surprised that didn't last long.
Anyway, my uncle is going through his second divorce. Wayne and Denise have been married for oh, 8 years I would guess. Well, my dad said that Wayne was basically given an ultimatum to marry her those precious 8 years ago. Now, my dad is not really 'anti-women' but he's not above calling all of them crazy or loony. So I'm not sure exactly how it went, but I assume it was something like "Marry me or I'm leaving."
So most guys thinking "Oh, maybe this is my only chance to get married, I better take this opportunity" will agree and get married.
Whoops.
My dad then told me of a story about a good friend of his that lived across the street from my grandparents house. Darrin was seeing a girl and he was in the Army reserved or somthing, and one day, she asked if he wanted to get married. He proceeded to dump her. He then dated a girl for a couple years or so. This second girl never hinted or asked about getting married. So Darrin married her as a "reward" for sticking around and such. They are still married.
So the moral of the story is this:
Women, do NOT ever hint, ask, pressure, or berate a man into marrying you. He will either leave you, or your marriage will fall apart. When/if a guy wants to get hitched, he'll make the call.
Memorable quotes:
"Women are out of control with this idea that they have power."
"Many women think they have control over men"
