This is probably just a rant but...
I read a story the other day about a man and a woman who started dating about 5 years ago. After about 2 years, they started to live together. While living together, she became pregnant and had a child. About a year and a half later, she asked her live-in boyfriend when they were going to take their relationship to the next level (marriage) he said, " Relationship? WHAT relationship?!"
She packed her bags and left with their son.
More and more I see/hear about men (especially) who say that they don't want a 'serious committed relationship". Yet, they seem to have no problem with getting all of the perks that go with one.
And I mean, ALL of the perks.
It seems that a man can tell a woman he's in love with her...has a child with her...spends oodles of time with her...has a strong connection with her, etc. Yet NONE of this --even collectively--equals having a "relationship" in his mind. I even read that one man told his WIFE of 20+ years that they never had a "serious committed relationship"!
At 57 years old and single, it's really scary out there to me. Even with constant communication, it seems that a man can "change his mind" at the drop of hat, especially without even telling me, unless asked. I'd never really know for SURE if he's committed to me!
Is this the "new man" I keep hearing about?
Because if it is, I think I'm safer having a 'serious committed relationship' with my vibrator!
Rant over. Thanks for reading.
