Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Love itTake the advice from this verse:
Appreciate itYeah, that's one of my biggest fights. Men don't have nearly enough resources, outreachs, and support systems. So I understand you, however, do know that when it comes to legal matters where you could find yourself involved and impacted you should avoid discussing it openly. Since the judicial system will not look out for men, the way it does for women, we, as men, have to be proactive and diligent in protecting ourselves.
And absolutely, do reach out to me in private.
Modern Man Advice
Yes. Cohabitation happens plenty without marriage as well.once there is a marriage cohabitation is expected….
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
This is where I believe it all stemmed/started from for the most part if I’m to pick or point on/at anything from her end…..Ok back to step one. Why did your wife not move in? That’s very weird. Even in cultures where young people reside with the parents until marriage once there is a marriage cohabitation is expected….
Completely unreasonable. So when you tell her about chick #2? You soften the blow by saying “You understand that I am your husband and that you have simply refused to live with me as my wife, which is extraordinarily disrespectful, never mind my desire for sexual fulfillment in marriage….what am I supposed to do?”This is where I believe it all stemmed/started from for the most part if I’m to pick or point on/at anything from her end…..
Deep down I do not know why, but what she would come up with were the excuses of or such as:
My work is only 2 minutes away from my Mothers house, I feel more comfortable at my Moms, you have always made it be known that this is your place (I’m sure I never did and if I did go that way about it I wasn’t an ******* about it)
Do you mind if I message you on here?Completely unreasonable. So when you tell her about chick #2? You soften the blow by saying “You understand that I am your husband and that you have simply refused to live with me as my wife, which is extraordinarily disrespectful, never mind my desire for sexual fulfillment in marriage….what am I supposed to do?”
You know she is going to whine all about it to your mother in law.
I’d tell them both (her AND her mother) and you can squarely place blame on your wife living with her mother AND HER MOTHER ALLOWING IT”
How old is your wife? 12?
Let me guess. Her mom doesn’t like you. All the more reason to stand up to them both.
I’d say ditch the lot and start over with a completely different woman. What a disaster.
Seriously. You are the man here. Kick them all to the curb unless…like UNLESS your wife agrees immediately to reside with you as husband & wife.
No excuse for this unless her mom is literally dying and has no one else to care for her. In that case you BOTH live at mom’s for free since you take care of her.
Otherwise ditch the lot.
Seriously
Feel free of course. I’m headed out for tonight so I’ll respond in the morning.Do you mind if I message you on here?

As silly as that sounds yes I have thought of that as a positive outcome but then that would also be me trying not to face things head on and hoping for an easy way out
Are you able to relocate your job try and move away from redflag girlfriend so she doesn't cause you collateral damage. Hell have no fury like a woman scorned. If she goes to town on you. The court system will not be in your favour. That is a pretty **** situation to be in mate. If your ever in my neck of the woods I'll shout you a beer at the pubAs
