Society pushes people to get married. It's in tv shows and marketing and everything.

So you want him to tell you how much he hated his deceased spouse?? I suppose you just want him to forget about her, too...act like she didn't even exist just to please your narcissistic self.

Seriously, what is wrong with you?? Dear God...

OK, I find that absurd. Maybe your parents push you to get married but society, no.

In all the threads OP has made (and there have been a LOT), it seems all the emphasis on taco man is that he's never married, religious, and doesn't have any kids. Whoop de doo. Those three things don't mean squat when it comes to making a marriage last. They're honestly the stupidest criteria I can imagine when it comes to choosing a mate. I was dead wrong in the end, but I married my husband because I thought he was a good human being and would be a supportive spouse, and one day a good father. Maybe I am a failure because obviously I was wrong on who he truly was as a person, but at least I didn't choose him based on some kind of ridiculous check list.

Society is a cogent, aware being that has the capacity to act, as with "forcing" things upon me??!!? Who knew.

I know- I don't ever recall typing that all 150+ million American females are all bad, just relating my observations and personal experiences.

They have one and only one thing going for them. They pretty much ensure that OP won't ever get married. I think that is the goal, even if subconscious. She is one sick individual.

Not at all but a second spouse will compete, that's how it is.

Actually those are called morals and morals trump everything else. I found at first we had the same interests but once I found out we shared the same morals I knew.

No, it DOESN'T. Society doesn't tell people to get married. Where do you get that notion from?? Please provide a link of these many who admit they didn't want to marry the person. Some people don't see their spouses other side until they get married. My BIL can't keep it in his pants. I wish his ex-wife had a crystal ball.

Well American guys sure get painted with a broad brush, especially in here on CD, and no one seems to object too much- besides, I'm just going off my personal experiences. You don't have to agree, just calling it as I personally have seen it. Sometimes a different place and group of people is just a much better fit.
