If you own a restaurant, I am begging you to have your menu on your website. Do not force people to start an online order just to view it. I just want to know if you serve queso. I shouldn’t have to select a location, pickup time, and my astrological sign just to find out.

im genuinely intolerant of religion like in a way that even progressives probably think is problematic. you have this made up idea of existence from a story book and you reject the reality of the world around you to the point of hate and violence. while looking stupid as fuck

This is such a hard line for me and I just simply date people that agree with me. I’m not arguing with you about still talking to somebody you were playing hide the pickle with 😭

[m. @moseason_]

People’s adamance to maintain connections with exes, old hookups, failed talking stages, etc. is so fascinating to me

I understand the desire to be careful and intentional about marriage. That part is reasonable. But your framework has some serious logical and real-life flaws that need to be addressed.

First, cohabitation for 6 months to 1 year exposes a woman to disproportionate risk. Pregnancy is the most obvious one. Biology does not wait for timelines. If she gets pregnant within that period and you suddenly “discover” she is not wife material, who bears the heavier consequence? Definitely not the man. We have seen this play out countless times in real life. Men walk away, women are left with the physical, emotional, and social weight.

Second, living together often kills motivation in men, not improves clarity. Many men lose the urgency to marry once they start enjoying the full benefits of marriage without commitment. Food, sex, companionship, emotional labor, domestic support. All without vows. I have personally seen men stay in such arrangements for years, always extending the “observation period,” until the woman is exhausted, older, and resentful. If cohabitation truly guaranteed marriage, we would not see so many long-term girlfriends being abandoned after “trial periods.”

Third, a man does not need a woman to live with him for one year to know if he wants to marry her. Character is not hidden for twelve months. Values, temperament, kindness, discipline, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and compatibility can be assessed through intentional dating, honest conversations, family exposure, stress situations, and time. If after months of dating and consistent interaction you still need her under your roof to decide, the issue is indecision, not lack of information.

Also, let’s be honest about power dynamics. When a woman moves into a man’s house unmarried, she is almost always the one adjusting, compromising, cooking, cleaning, and proving herself. Meanwhile, he positions himself as the examiner, judge, and final authority. That is not partnership. That is probation.

Now let me ask you a sincere question. Would you allow your own sister or daughter to go and live with a man for 6 months to 1 year without marriage, just to be “tested”? A man who can send her packing at any point if she fails his standards? If the answer is no, then the rule is not principled, it is convenient.

I am not condemning cohabitation outright. Adults will make their choices. What I condemn is the timeframe and the structure. A healthier alternative is frequent visits. Let her spend a week or so with you, go back to her place, repeat over time. You still see habits, routines, moods, conflict, and compatibility without trapping her in an arrangement that benefits you far more than it benefits her.

Finally, if we strip this argument to its core, it often sounds less like “protecting the future” and more like looking for free labor and guaranteed sex while deciding if the woman is worth committing to. If that is the case, it is more honest to say that plainly, rather than dressing it up as wisdom and due diligence.

Marriage should not begin with one person auditioning under unequal risk. It should begin with mutual intention, protection, and responsibility. Anything else is just comfort disguised as caution.

I walked into the footlocker in center city at 1 pm and walked out with the black cat 4s five minutes later. They were fully stocked and the store was virtually empty 😭
