More Americans Putting Off Marriage Until Ultimatum

Yes it's The Onion, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're actually correct about this one:

“In the past, a marriage proposal was usually the result of a few months of indirect pressure, but increasingly we’re finding that what convinces a person to tie the knot is a nonnegotiable threat to end a years-long relationship,” said NCHS director Charles Rothwell, stating that more individuals are waiting until their partner breaks down in tears and says something along the lines of “I just can’t do this anymore” before asking for their hand in marriage.

“Today, the decision to spend your life with someone is frequently made under duress, triggered by the recognition that you will lose this person forever if you don’t say yes to the all-or-nothing choice you have been presented with.” Rothwell added that more often than not, the ultimatums are issued by someone who has just found out yet another close friend from college is getting married.

Why can't they just come out and say that women pressure men to marry them lol?

I say let her leave, if a woman is in "love with you" she wants to BE with you. She will want to be with you in a cardboard box, she will want to be with you in a mansion, she will want to be with you at the hospital bed, she will want to be with you WHERE-EVER.

This concept that she "loves you so much" she has to break up with you because you won't marry her, is hogwash and a scam. It's a manipulation tactic on her part to get you to bend over and sign your life away WHILE she still have some sort of market value.

If you refuse to sign your life away, while her market value is still in place, she is going to opt out of the relationship with you and go find another svcker to sign on the dotted line before that market value slips away.

It's all manipulation people.
