Why don't men want to get married?

Why don't men want to get married?

[Jerre]

Most probably have not found the woman they love

[Jerre]

@Melanie31 Thank you for the Like

[Iron_Man]

We do we just haven’t found the right girl yet

[Iron_Man]

Thanks for most helpful award, Melanie

[Finchie40]

Because they don’t want to go through a divorce , when she decides she no longer wants to be married anymore ,

[AviatorTom]

There are too many women who don't want to get married too, and many are willing to give men what the man wants without the ring on the finger.

[Keyboardkat]

Yes, and there's a saying, "Why should I have to buy a cow just because I like milk? I can get milk without buying a cow!" So women have in some ways hurt themselves by being sexually active without marriage.

[MrOracle]

In a word: Feminism.

If you look back through the roughly 8000 years of recorded human history (the period of time where there's a written record), the vast majority of men were married. That was the norm and the social expectation. Sure, there were always a few who stayed single, but they tended to be viewed as "weird" or "oddballs" or something similar.

So, what changed?

That was Feminism. I'm going to cut this short to hopefully stick to the topic, but Feminism is an offshoot of Marxism/Communism/Socialism. It's true purpose was ALWAYS to destroy western society that was based in personal freedom and capitalism, so that it could be replaced with Marxism.

After WWII, the USSR used The Frankfort School - a group of Jewish German Marxist intellectuals who had fled Germany in the 1930s and set up shop within Columbia University in New York, to recruit and train Marxist Feminist activists to become college professors. By the early 60s, they were in place, and they began teaching radical Feminism to college students - the women especially, who coincidently were going to college at a much higher rate thanks to the high middle-class wealth in the 1960s.

You're likely familiar with the huge push of Feminism in the late 60s and early 70s - you may not know that there was a lot of funding for Feminist issues by the Soviets, their allies, and by some American industrialists who wanted disempowered workers for their factories that they didn't have to pay much too, and this money gave the movement a lot of power. One of the things that this money allowed was for a ton of laws to be passed (most laws are passed, at least in part, because of bribes or influence of one kind or another) and a lot of lawsuits.

The Family Court system was created and new laws heavily favored women in marriage and especially divorce and child custody. Even conservative Ronald Reagan, a former Hollywood actor who became California governor, was convinced to sign a law to create "No Fault Divorce", prompted by Democrats and by Hollywood, who didn't want to have to take responsibility for their choices. This passed in California in 1969, and quickly spread to other states. It was the beginning of the end for marriage.

The 1970s saw an explosion in divorce, and as the courts became increasingly Feminist and staffed by Feminist activists, men began to be systematically destroyed by divorce, and lost custody of their children. Kids grew up without fathers, and saw the same thing happen to their uncles, cousins, and friends.

Still, most kids who grew up in the 70s still married - it was the normal and expected thing to do - and LOTS of these men who married were also destroyed by divorce. THEIR male kids, having heard stories from their parents and grandparents, and their friends' parents and grandparents, were a lot less trusting in marriage, and were much more likely to be skeptical. And now, another generation later, most young men see marriage as an insane risk with very little up-side. Feminism took away everything men valued and used to receive in marriage, while encouraging women to demand far more from men in return for less and less. It's not hard to see how that wasn't going to be sustainable.

Gen X, the first generation to be at all skeptical, is in their 40s and 50s. Millennials, the first generation to be WIDELY skeptical, is in their 30s and early 40s. As a woman, it's pretty easy to be "single" when you are young, and can still get lots of male attention, and when men go out of their way to do nice things for you, but that mostly goes away somewhere around 30, but you're still young enough that working full time and "maintaining the lifestyle" seems doable. But by 50, most women start to realize that being alone, with no husband or kids, is pretty awful, and having only a job to look forward to makes them miserable - and on the relationship market, their value is very low while their expectations are still sky-high, and that leads to massive depression.

You're going to see Millennials hitting that phase soon. Pay close attention. Younger women will tell you how great being single is and that you don't need no man. Pay attention to what the older ones are saying - they're singing a very different tune.

[mstbooblover]

Feminism is first of all the struggle for equal rights: same job, same salary for instance; a halt to discrimination based on gender. Of course, and as in every social movement of any kind, there are some fundamentalists and extremists, as there are idiots, but that does not mean feminism leads to the end of marriage.

Our societies are evolving rather quickly due to new medias, technologies, and values. Women are getting aware they can be plainly independant instead of being dominated and commanded by men. This still does not mean the end of marriage, but rather better balanced ones in the field of rights, obligations, jobs and education.

Due to the industrial revolution and general abusive situations, I guess that Marxism was kind of a logic evolution in human history, and during that getting aware of social situations, it seems logic to me that feminism evolved around the same period. Thus pretending that Marxism created feminism is a bit far fetched, although some values may appear compatible.

[MrOracle]

Feminism was never about equality - that's just spin for the media. If it was about equality, it would be called egalitarianism, but it was very intentionally NOT called egalitarianism, because that would have required them to fight against the inequalities that men experience too, and the Feminists have made it quite clear that they will never do that.

And let's be real - the mask was off in the 1990s, when Feminists began routinely and publicly declaring themselves as being better than men, and not needing men. That's not "fighting for equality", that's female supremacy they are pushing.

Fast forward to today, and you have TikTok spilling over with women complaining that men don't approach them, that men don't give up their seats or help them carry heavy things or buy them drinks or stop to help them change their tire - these same women who love to tell everyone that women can do anything men can do, and deserve equality, and they don't need no man. Men are now given women the equality they asked for, and now they are blaming men for "not stepping up" and "not being chivalrous". You can't have it both ways. I know Feminism teaches otherwise, but you can't.

[MrOracle]

You might not be aware of it yet, but this goes further than you might realize. Business are downsizing and women are being disproportionately affected because of two reasons. The first is that a huge amount of the jobs being eliminated are the office jobs - the comfortable, air-conditioned, low physical effort jobs, and the second is that companies are much more reluctant to hire women, and are de facto limiting the women they hire. Women are seen as too demanding, too eager to sue, and too harmful to productivity. And this trend is still spreading. What does that mean? It means that a lot of women who prioritized their careers and their independence are going to find that they aren't able to live independently, because they can't get a high-paying job. And they have already burned their bridges with men.

Don't believe me? Look at the reforms happening in welfare, EBT, and other government programs. Many women believed that they would have those programs forever, but now they are required to work to get EBT, and many are losing Section 8 and other benefits. A lot of women are going to find themselves working two retail jobs and barely surviving, with little hope for the future, and they'll only be more bitter at men - but men will remember the disrespect and the dismissiveness and they won't care.

[mstbooblover]

It's highly time for as well women as men to learn and respect each other, and further, there must come an end to all exaggerations, often amplified by the medias by spreading so many false informations.

It also remains a historical fact that women all over the world have been denigrated the right to decide for themselves in nearly every aspect of their life, leading to many overreactions in our era. No suppremacism of any kind will ever help making the world a better place to live in. It's highly time for humanity to grow up mentally and look behind appearances.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

But historically, the lifestyle in the past isn't as easy as the lifestyle today and if they were denigrated the rights to decide for themselves, It is also combined with women deciding to not do all of those dirty jobs men are bound to do and men didn't have the rights to refuse. Those "women issues" you're talking about are more like human issues. Because if it's really true that women were that oppressed, The patriarchy exists to favor men, then there would have been no male slaves, no male homelessness and every men could have been successful leaving all women behind as slaves or underdogs. What truly liberated people today is the change of how society develop. That has nothing to do with feminism.

[Curmudgeon]

@mstbooblover The "Third Wave" we see today is *nothing but* Gender Marxism. While the "Second Wave" of 50 odd, now going on 60 odd, years ago had some points about a stifling conformist society of the 1940s and 1950s, even it had a few flaws. It turns out not everything is a "Social Construct" after all!

[grega239]

@mstbooblover how about the equal obligation to die in a war? Not a peep was heard from femimists about that

[Ariesman81]

@grega239

The thing is, we don't want women on the front lines. They're a liability and a hindrence. So whether you like it or not, men aren't forcing women to the front line because it's not in men's best interest.

[grega239]

@Ariesman81 agreed. My point was to point out the "equality" bs

[Ariesman81]

@grega239

There's no question feminists would lose privileges if they actually got equality.

[RavVid]

It is puzzling why women seem to be puzzled on this.

Women have instigated significant change to the 'product'. Oft times, the consumer doesn't appreciate product changes and discards the new version.

Instead of till death do us part, in the new deal the median women chooses to divorce at about 8 years after both kiddies make it to elementary school with it's inherent state child minding.

What is hard to understand men rationally adjusting to this new deal by not buying?

It is as sensible as me going to the casino and putting all my assets, and most of what I will earn in the rest of my life, onto red or black on a single roll of the roulette wheel. Marriage is actually worse than red or black at the casino because there is an equal chance I'll double my money.

Plus women are no longer like dear old grandma. They don't have emotional control of themselves. They don't see they need to bring anything other than themselves into a marriage whilst demanding the man be in the top 10% tier.

Very few women are wife material now. Men are far better off playing it safe and not participating in marriage..

[lightbulb27]

Some... I see others plunging fast

Fear, seen others suffer.

Lack of and poor training in many domains such as communication, being vulnerable, working as a team vs individual, prioritizing, putting your needs aside for the other, etc..

Selfishness... they don't understand themselves or women/the woman so it's much to learn and painful.

the odds are stacked against them in the system they believe, in some cases they may be.

The real risks of life... people can change, life changes, so there is risk to real suffering. talk to some homeless men and learn more.

Failure...

My relative once joked..."marriage is a wonderful institution... as long as you don't mind being in an instititon!". That rings true. I will add my lightbulb wisdom, it's up to those inside the instititon to keep it clean, do the daily work, cleanup after others sometimes and help others be successful. Periodic thought and evaluation and learning is required and growth is required. Life will change, you must evolve.

[Noredcarpet]

the ones I've been serious with have, its been me who wanted to slow things down, about the baby question too. I hate saying this because I know those who get frustraded about it and it sounds as if I would brag about it, Im careful not to say something about it irl to not step on any toes. I hate planering weddings too and don't exactly view it as an honor, but I know Im suppose to. I wanted to postpone it for that reason too, lol, I know I sound terrible. I know this is many others dream but I honestly think its a form of brainwash of girls since young age all starting off with the one and only cinderella and on it goes. I am not usually this unromantic by the way, but it is just such a big deal. I don't know whats happened but these days more and more attention is brought or demanded on the bride, as if she's marrying herself. I get it if the guys go way into the background or get nervous, I've been to stiff weddings myself where nothing absolutely nothing could go wrong or we would all hear about it in an eternity. I almost felt like groom then, God what a nightmare.

I did place an ultimatium once to my ex that he needed rehab before we could get wed. He had tried on his own to stop, felt real ashamed if he had to do rehab, but it failed and I left in complete turmoil, I suppose why it was so sensitive and I was unforgiving was because I put so much into this that I felt as if he took a shot at my dignity, we could never talk about it, never go back, no matter what he said, my heart became that of stone. He had crossed a line. Could be some guys have bad experiences or fears, or simply a different take on it, the ones who don't want to?

[Noredcarpet]

Could be financial resons too if the bride to be needs to be taken cared off financially and when the babies comes? Could be they don't wsnt to get that serious for life?

[Ariesman81]

Men aren't afraid of commitment. You mention to a man that you want a church wedding minus the state wedding and he'll more than likely feel much more comfortable with the idea. It's the same feeling you get when a guy says he'll love you if you get old and fat.

[Noredcarpet]

@Ariesman81 I think it depend on the guy, and girls too. To state that not any man on this planet is afraid of commitment I do not believe is true. But have to admit my young self was shocked when learning girlfriend had problems getting their boyfriend to get married as I thought it was custumary and something everyone did or at least live in a marriage like relationship. I or everyone always thought I would marry young, first boyfriend, that's it, he would talk, really talk to me about how he thought our wedding to be like. I was someone who just went along with the stream, but shy and did not look forward to it, only I thought to be married. I do agree that there are those who are not afraid of commitment, only 1 or 2 that I know of (no romantic connection) had strong opinions on how they did not want the wedding to be like. Yes, lol, I have heard that too, but not fat, but just that he wants to grow old with me :) my ex, currents has always handled attention to us as a couple way better than I have. I think I subcounsely chose guys who you say were not afraid that way, so I could sort of hide behind them, lol. I've gotten better, though, or I just like to think so 😀

[Curmudgeon]

Others have again have beaten me to the punch, but "in a nutshell", as the saying goes, the risks and hazards for men in getting married have risen dramatically, and the rewards and benefits of getting married have plummeted, compared to previous eras of dating and mating. When something rewards significantly less and pays off significantly less and costs (not just financially, but socially and even psychically) significantly more than it used to, well, you get less less of that something.

This is sadly even more true societally. A man becoming a husband and typically a father was once honored. Now, it is all too often scorned.

To use a labor union metaphor, many men have decided to go "on strike" from marriage. And the first person to use the term, more than a decade ago, was a female professor (no, they are not all leftist shits):
https://www.amazon.com/Men-Strike-Boycotting-Marriage-Fatherhood/dp/1594036756/

Another thoughtful woman, Karen Straughn (don't let the first name fool you! :D ) describes it in detail:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/rlvMAS_20K4

Her final sentence: "(And the Pundits, both Left and traditional Right) are never going to realize is that using shame to try to coerce men to do what is expected of them *isn't going to work this time*. Because while it is possible to get a man to lose his life for his country when there is at least glory and honor in it, no man is going to

[Curmudgeon]

"... going to be shamed into working his ass off and risking his whole future, just for the joy of looking into the mirror and seeing {societal caricatures like} "Homer Simpson", or "Ray Barone", or "Dilbert", looking back at him. When the costs of society's approval is the self-respect you derive from a positive identity, it ceases to be worth it to a lot of men..."

[Anonymous]

Because there is nothing in it for us other than exception cases where its needed for a Visa. First fix the courts to where whoever leaves trough no fault of the other looses by default. Its extremely unfair the guy can get screwed over by the courts forced to part with his belongings or have to pay her in any way if she decided to leave for someone else. Our generation isn't going to just risk that for no reason.

Think of it this way. If you don't marry you are on an even playing field. You can leave, he can leave. Naturally you want to marry because it gives you security he won't leave. Except in reveree he is now even worse off, he gets screwed if he leaves and he gets screwed if you leave. Imagine that in reverse, he can leave you for any other girl and now you have to pay him and give him some of your stuff he wants. Would you want to risk that?

Meanwhile lets say both don't marry. What problems does that cause exactly? Your not financially tied which helps if one has debt and the other does not (I wouldn't want to marry someone who has debt, that makes me liable) and you can still do everything a married couple can do. I don't see any logical reason to do it if your both from the same country.

[Miristheiss]

Many still do.

But, for the ones that do not.

1. Feminism, divorce culture, no fault divorce. There is this aura going with a lot of women these days that women are these perfect Goddesses that all "deserve" these perfect men. Their lists of traits they demand is 50 items long.

Many hate men. They want all the perks of being in a relationship but still insist they have zero duties or obligations. They can do anything they want at all times, if he has any boundaries he is "controlling".

Now, women expect blissful happiness all the time. There is no commitment or honor. The mo. ent no say they do not FEEL happy, time to divorce. They think marriages do not have hard spells. They do not have to tough out hard times. No, they will just break up a family the instant they feel as if they "fell out of live".

If marriage is no longer for life... why do it?

2. Divorce laws. Children almost always are awarded to the mother instead of joint 50/50 custody. Men are almost always made to keep working and paying another full grown adult who he no longer has any relationship with to fund her existence. She can nix the love, devotion and honor unilaterally, he gets no say. She can just say I'm not happy anymore and she can breaks their contract and now he has to pay her, she takes his kids and he has to pay her and get limited visitation of his own kids.

Until these no fault divorce laws, family court theft laws change no man should marry.

3. No virtuous women. All women are promiscuous now. Why pledge your life to a woman who has already been screwed by 15 other men and who did Onlyfans porn and was drunk in the clubs from 20 to 24?

Why the hell would men want to marry that?

Seriously? Women really think men want to marry tramps?

Sleeping with other men makes us want you as a wife?

[CalmUntilAbused]

That's because most of them only know about the state-sanctioned parody of marriage that basically makes the man a slave to the government and to his wife. The fact that it's so hard for them to believe there are different ways to get married (including the only true one, the pure Catholic marriage) that do not have this glaring flow speaks volumes.

If You want to, You can have a read of this thread, including my answer and the resulting chain of messages: Why do women hate men who help them and want the best for them? for more information on the matter.

[CalmUntilAbused]

Okay, I just got an important update to my answer: Straight women who don't date, what would you want in a male? ↗

Read this and You will why men consider not just marriage, but any interaction with a woman to be potentially deadly.

[CalmUntilAbused]

"You will understand"*

[Bricealan]

@The Institution of Marriage has not had a good record of longevity for several decades, or maybe longer. When the divorce occurs, as it usually does, men seem to always get the shitty end of the stick when the court finishes with him.

I put her on the Title of my house, to show my dedication to her and our marriage, although she had been married Many times and had 4 children.

She was civil to sign off on my home and not make me sell and give her anything.

Most would not do that.

[Dargil]

Marriage has become a hazardous zone for men. 80% of all divorces are filed by women. More often than not, they want revenge for their bad decision making and will loot the fruits of their husbands education and hard work, harm their careers, try to ruin their reputations and sabotage men's relationship with their children.

Marriage is simply not worth the risk. Cohabitation is an option if children are to be involved and and an intimate partnership (friends with benefits) is an option if they are not. The Feminist and Woke movements are the cause. And you have done this to yourselves. Men haven't changed in 5,000 years. You have.

[LiamJHayden]

For many the risk is too high. People can change over the years and 1/3 to 1/2 of first marriages end in divorce. In California, after ten years alimony is permanent, meaning unless she (or he) remarries (or provably cohabits if your attorney can get that included), the payout is for life. So after ten years you might end up paying permanent support, giving up half of everything accumulated during the marriage, half your retirement, your house and other assets owned before might be deemed as donated to the marital estate or comingled and you end up losing half of that, too. This applies even if the spouse cheated and you were faithful. Just not worth it.

[Kelley1]

Men do want to get married. However, they want to avoid the punishment that comes to men (only men, never women) because they marry.

Give men ownership of the house, joint bank accounts, and the children in the event of divorce. and men will be flocking to get married because instead of being punished, they will be rewarded.

[Bitter_Sweet94]

Not all men avoid marriage.

But the ones who do usually aren’t afraid of commitment, they’re afraid of choosing wrong.

Marriage today feels risky for a lot of people.

Expectations are high, divorce is expensive, and many grew up watching relationships fall apart.

Most men want stability.

They just want to be sure the person they marry brings peace, not chaos, and that the relationship feels like a partnership, not a burden.

[Anonymous]

I gave up on a woman ever actually wanting me and realized I’m just a needs filler at-least that’s how I’ve been treated.
This coupled with all the divorces, all the women that lack real growth as a individual. I’m just not putting myself through that kinda drama when thing end.
I will say the wedding just doesn’t appeal to me either a bunch of people that really could careless any other day showing up just to give me grief etc. I have avoided birthday parties for the last 30 years why the hell would I want a wedding.

[jshm2]

Depends on the man.

Some don't want to marry as they see it as too much of a commitment. Others fear not being "enough" and losing half their wealth as a result.

Yet others haven't found their "one," and others are just fucking hopeless.

Me? I'm happily married 22 years.

[mstbooblover]

Probably the percentage of men willing indeed to marry has in my opinion not changed that much. A few fluctuations due to social pressure, particular new technologies, medias, outdated taboos, etc.

I was the one asking my wife to marry, and that lasted 38 years till she passed away. Now, at my more advanced age, I'm not willing to marry anymore, but only because my priorities are not the same anymore: now it's about sharing fun in different ways, and not creating a family.

[msc545]

No rational man ever would marry a woman in this day and age.

[mstbooblover]

@msc545 You forget the passion of young ignorant people, even with rational tendencies. This being said, when two people genuinely love each other, what's the problem to marry? This might be safer in case of descendents resulting of the relation.

[msc545]

The problem is that the man in that marriage is going to get screwed in the divorce. Not in a good way.

[Geminiaqua]

@msc545 there is in general no rational reason, why not just be together without the stupid paper

[Geminiaqua]

if you need a paper to know one is not gonna cheat on you or walk away, then reconsider the setup

[mstbooblover]

@Geminiaqua Indeed, rationally taken, no need to marry officially. This is still forgetting all the social relations, which start already within the families and relations the two lovers originated from.

Getting officially married is a ritual to feel and be accepted as a unit, a new potential family, by the community in general. This reminds me why I asked my wife to marry after a few years living together: it was a way to show her my engagement with her.

Concerning "stupid" papers, here at my place there are a fair amount of "paperless" people, who are here actually, but do not exist officially, meaning no official job, nearly no social help, no home, etc. No need to add that those paperless, and thus mostly homeless people, will be prone to do anything to survive, often illegal business of course...

Whether we like it or hate it, papers and administration have some importance in a community.

[Anonymous]

Just going to leave these two images here

Read those and it will tell you why.

[SeekerOfTruth007]

i wouldn't get legally married even if I were theoretically healthy and theoretically knew someone, because of Divorce laws which pretty much enslave a man to his ex-wife if she divorces him for any reason whatsoever. The present laws in the USA are absurd.

[Vegasrunner]

There's nothing in it for men. 50 - 60 years ago at least a man was getting a traditional woman who understood her role. Today, all that left is some ran through women who pretend that men and women are equal unless until there's a disadvantage to them.

[DJB72]

We do. We just don't generally like being fucked in the ass in a divorce.

If I marry again it'll be to a girl who wants to be a wife, not a girl looking for a husband. There's a huge difference.

[XXTruthfulOgrexx]

This has been asked so many times. Everyone has their own reasons.

As for me, there is zero benefits to getting married and it inherently has way to many risks attached.

The idea of a nuclear family is all but completely dying out. The guys that are still looking for marriage are being overlooked again for multiple reasons.

You can still find someone to marry, the question is will he be able to match your expectations.

[drummerdude25]

Ummm…… we do lol. Probably even more than women do now, tbh.

[Bloodparadise]

Because they are being threatened, manipulated and disrespected..

Just because a paper contract says that doesn't mean a man has to give up his rights or existence

[katiesmuff]

Life is so much easier for them without any real negative reasons. Married means real commitment!

[ImalwaysrightOK]

Why marry someone who's been had by guys that didn't have to marry her? Seems like he's getting leftovers and that's very unappealing.

[Shiprex]

It's not worth it. Why do an expensive party and overly tiresome wedding when you can just live together and not be dependent on someone

[blackeagle007]

Elope!

[msc545]

For a man trying to choose the right woman to marry is like playing roulette with a gun that has four chambers loaded with live ammunition. If you choose wrong, you blow your head off. No thank you.

Marriage is a huge risk for men these days. Tate breaks it down here:

Done it once when younger. Never again. So much better and so much more freedom not being married and getting to fuck all the hot women you want.

[Steve-the-lion]

You must be trolling. But to answer your question, it's because modern women can't really be trusted, and too many women today are not feminine.

[ABC1x1x]

In America there is absolutely no benefit. Less. Negative benefit. This is why Americabs are looking in East Asia, Ukraine, east Europe for a good wife.

[Alexandrubaschet08]

I do but i need money, house, stability and same from my partner and compatibility.

[Geminiaqua]

why can't we just be, why i gotta commit for 5000 yearS?

[Hellraiser1984]

Because there's the risk of divorce, cheating, and her parents will hate you and your children. Not to mention all the fighting and yelling.

[dragoblack]

Because it screws us over overall, it's as expensive as a new car or cheap house, and involves the government in our romance life.

[Ariesman81]

Cause men finally woke up and realized that most women are just liabilities. The power of the pussy just isn't strong enough anymore.

[Snowman84]

If you’re 17 don’t worry about marriage, enjoy some freedom.

[Pohjolan]

Most men are not avoiding marriage.

They are avoiding divorce.

[Awesomesauce2005]

If women were no longer self centered and evil we would

[Awesomesauce2005]

If a man gets married in this modern hellscape, the woman could have his child and instantly decide to get divorced. Then she could take half of everything the guy had and take full custody of the child while simultaneously accusing him of beating/graping her. Many men have committed suicide over this.

[Ariesman81]

@Awesomesauce2005

Correct. Happened to my good friend. She served him divorce papers 366 days after they married (1 day after annulment could be filed). Took the kid (classified as an infant so she got 100% custody as well as max child support). Claimed he was abusive (of course) which meant he could only have monitored visitation when she agreed to it. And to top it off, she was able to collect alimony while still making $80k/year.
All this because he's a man who knocked her up and chose to marry her, because it was what a good man should do.

[Awesomesauce2005]

@Ariesman81 and that's why I have a general mistrust of women🤣

[Ariesman81]

Prenuptial agreements are a toxic woman's kryptonite!
