My Non-Negotiables in Dating

[@NightOfCrystals]

It’s great to know what your non-negotiables are and to have defined your expectations for yourself and your partner in a relationship. I challenge your expecting your male partner to not have any women friends. There are many platonic friendships between men and women (and people of all genders) nowadays. Full disclosure, I am a cis bi man and I would say a slight majority of my closest friends are women. Two things here - would you accept not having any male friends for your male partner? Is that okay with you? And secondly - what is this requirement really about? To me, being brutally honest with you, it comes across as a trust, security, or control issue. Personally, I would find it difficult to build a deeper relationship with my partner if I knew they didn’t trust me to have platonic friendships with women. When you trust your partner and yourself 100%, that helps have the confidence in their loyalty and in your relationship with them. I offer this challenge lovingly and not as a criticism of you or your preferences. 🙏

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.

My question is are you able to provide what you ask for.. Or is it.. All rules for thee, none for me.. Kind of situation.

Letting someone use my car? 😮. My insurance company knows about me and my wife as the only drivers. I ain't going to risk the liability for a "friend". Nobody respects my car like me or my spouse. No friend would need to use my car. 😂. They all got their 💩 together.

These are great, coming from a guy

Always sad to hear about divorce. How did you meet your husband, did you both love each other equally? How many years were you together and when and how did you realize it wasn't going to work? Was it mutual and do you still care about each other? Would you ever consider getting back together with him?

[@Robert-yk2lk]

Just no

[@philippe7166]

Stil single i presume😂

[@Coburnify]

These aren't really unfair standards tbh. I think they're reasonable. I think youre problem will be things going the other way. Are you okay with no male friends, and limits on your socials? I being rhetorical just curious if you could meet a partner with symmetrical standards or if you specifically want someone with asymmetrical standards for yourself that may be easier for you to maintain. Not bad tho. Cheers.

[@RobinDale50]

OF COURSE the standards will be asymetrical! Women demand equality in how THEY Are treated, not how they are expected to treat YOU!

Hate to break it to you, but you are not a Disney princess. Enjoy your cats.

Say you don't cut the mustard without saying you don't cut the mustard...

[@calfencer]

Note to self...☝🏼. Never date a woman with too many...no tattoos and one that punctuates her words with a finger in the air. 😮‍💨😕🙄. She ain't ready. She hasn't hit the 🧱.

[@SparkleCaticorn]

Says user name “Christian pervert.” Enjoy your hand, dude!

[@Kevin_747]

Are you able to be a wife?

[@Adventure_fuel]

There is no way I am going for a 34 year old when I can go for a 26 year old.

[@MC75448]

Thanks for airing out your toxicity - good women will be spared of you!

[@callaghandevYoutube]

​@@MC75448 All else being equal, all men choose a younger women. This guy is likely less "toxic" than others you might meet because he's being honest with you instead of hiding his intentions.

[@omotayosatuyi252]

The way you said this is crazy

[@NataliaCopeland]

Who asked? 😂
