You Move In, The Leverage Moves Out
|
As a female, when you move in with a guy without a commitment, the mistake is always the same: YOU HAVE NO LEVERAGE, and to make things worse, it is in fact, partly your own fault by way of collusion. If things go wrong and you realize he doesn't want to get married, keeps making excuses, he doesn't want to have kids, etc., you can never say "Then why did we get married?," because you never were, and you still aren't.
This book is a prophecy to those who think they can get something for nothing by "living together" and as a short cut to staying together. Personally, if I'm going to live with someone, I might as well get married, or not move in at all.
I've known several people who have moved in together, and it always ends badly, or someone begins WHINING, because they caved in and knew better, but have gone into denial. At some point, somebody wants to take it to the next step, while the other doesn't, and because there's no marriage vow to keep them together in the first place, the one who wants to bail out has it a whole lot easier, because they know the other has no leverage. The other person who wants out, has leverage on their side, and they know it.
Where it gets really bad, especially for girls, is when they subject themselves to CAVING IN SYNDROME. You tell everyone you won't move in with this guy unless he asks you to marry him. Blah, blah, blah. He doesn't. You cave in, and move in. This is where your undoing begins.
So, you move in and he never asks you to marry him, and you whine, and whine, and whine. That doesn't work. So, you get depressed and start spending a lot of time at Dunkin' Donuts, and your slim figure begins to resemble chunky chicken, and to make matters worse, it is at this time you figure that if you're not getting married, you might as well start seeing other guys. Well, now you have a compound problem. Most people with any sense are leery about seeing someone who is living with someone else. And you look like chunky chicken, so you're not going to attract the guys you want.
Now, let's say you do attract a guy and you "get together". You have to ask yourself, if he would get together with me while I'm living with somebody, what does that say about his character, and mine, when we become a couple and one of us gets bored, or things get tough?
Now, instead of thinking something is better than nothing, you realize that something is the same as nothing. Caving in doesn't pay off, in all sorts of situations. |
