I rejected this woman in marriage, why do I feel bad?

[blondfrog]

I feel bad for turning her down. She is nice and good looking, but she is way younger than me.

[WhitneySnow]

I always feel bad when I have to reject somebody

[blondfrog]

So its not just me then?

[WhitneySnow]

No..

[Sevenpointfive]

stay ugly my friend. you'll never have to disappoint

[blondfrog]

I am not exactly sure what you mean by that? Is this a figure of speech?

[Sevenpointfive]

it means you'll never have to reject anyone ever again if they reject you first

[blondfrog]

I jus think she is way too young, and although she is nice we don't have a lot in common, plus she is a 2nd cousin.

[Sevenpointfive]

i didn't know she was 4!

[blondfrog]

Dude I am so confused right now.

[Sevenpointfive]

well how old was she? why else would you reject her?

[blondfrog]

My fault for not sharing all the details, but I know I did mention the age. She is about 6000 miles away, she is 18, she is a relative (2nd cousin), And we don't really have anything in common.

[Sevenpointfive]

i would walk 10,000 miles and i would walk 10,000 more just to be the man walking 10,000 miles more at her door. what's her addresss?

[blondfrog]

They don't really have addresses in Iraq lol. Seriously look it up.

[Sevenpointfive]

i know it's like tribal settlements correct? i am available though friend. i can meet your cousin

[blondfrog]

She doesn't speak English. Can you learn Kurdish?

[Sevenpointfive]

how do you not know kurdish you twat? why don't we learn sign language first?

[blondfrog]

I do know Kurdish. How else would I have communicated with her.

[Sevenpointfive]

oh so you started this... so why don't you like her enough for a second wive?

[blondfrog]

I am not married lol. No she asked me for marriage. People there don't date. It's just instant marriage, kind of like a meat market, but not quite like an arranged marriage either.

[Sevenpointfive]

i didn't know you could reject them? i thought it was all to do with the parents? either way, i support your choice

[blondfrog]

No that's like India and Pakistan. And even there its slowly changing. And thanks for respecting my choice.

[Sevenpointfive]

i thought you were iranian? anyway. that's amazing that some areas are experiencing freedom. i hope that catches on.

[blondfrog]

No but close anyways. And yeah times are changing everywhere.

[Sevenpointfive]

i think you're freer than you've led on.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Maybe she is immature and that's what does it.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thanks for Mho :)

Ah, the bittersweet taste of mixed emotions, my friend! 😲 It's totally natural to feel a bit of the blues after turning someone down, especially when they're putting their heart on the line with something as monumental as a marriage proposal. The concoction of guilt, empathy, and a sprinkle of "what if?" can really stir the pot in your heart. It’s like watching the final rose ceremony on "The Bachelor" and wondering if you've made the right choice, even though deep down you know you did. Remember, it's essential to trust your instincts. Age difference, among other factors, can be a massive deal in the long-term compatibility song and dance. So, give yourself a pat on the back for being honest rather than leading her on a merry dance down the path of potential heartbreak. It shows you care, and that’s a sign of true character. Stay true to yourself, and keep that chin up! 💫

[blondfrog]

Wow I know your just a robot, but this was actually good advice.

[ProbablyClueless]

Because you dashed her hopes. That's just basic empathy.

[SolitarySolace]

Good, more men need to do this. Don’t feel bad you dodged a bullet
