Post-Engagement anxiety is now a thing

So apparently women are now suffering from post-engagement anxiety. I’m sure this is a real thing, but the story is just a little too blue-pill for me.

“Getting engaged to someone signifies one step closer to a lifelong commitment. You may have anxiety about planning a wedding, merging families, being a good daughter-in-law, moving in together, financial decisions, being a good wife and so on. There’s a lot that comes up post-engagement that can easily trigger some fears, even if they are not totally logical or rational.”

See, I think the anxiety comes from being scared that you didn’t get maximum value from your vagina. You have been getting value, but you’ve been holding out for the MAXIMUM value. Now you are presented with knowing exactly how much or how little the vag will bring in. And then there’s the opportunity cost: what if someone comes along tomorrow with a much better offer?

It would be stupid to sell low. Maybe I should just stay single a little longer and see if a better deal will come along. Oh screw it, I can always just divorce his ass, get half his s~~~, and play again. There’s always time for one more spin on the ………..BAM!!!

WALL! Game over.

I suppose when you combine the stress of getting max vag value and watching your single mom turn into the crazy cat lady that could cause some anxiety.

Hypergamy floats.

The only way to win is to not play the game.

Anyway communication, real open communication, is not wanted or even required in a relationship. Women cannot handle fully open and honest communication, plus most perceive it as a weakness on the part of a man. All that is required is catering to her whims, and even then nothing is certain. There is no way to be sure of having a successful relationshit with a woman. MGTaoist

Other post engagement anxieties:

– is my fiance as wealthy as my friend’s husbands?

– is my ring big enough to impress other people?

– is my future husband cucked enough for me to get dick whenever I want while he pays my bills?

– Is he going to expect me to keep the house clean and contribute?

– is he going to expect me to actually be a mother and not use my children as an accessory or legal leverage?

– is he going to let me do what I want when I decide ‘something’s missing ‘, and I decide to live in an ashram for 3 months or go back to school for a useless master’s in art history?

You know, all very important considerations.

Quit looking at my signature, queer-mo.

Yep…sorta. What it comes down to is, will this man I’m marrying turn into the man I want him to be? I don’t know if it’s quite so much maximum value, but she certainly doesn’t want the life she has now, she doesn’t want to keep up the charade of being the ideal wife anymore. So after marriage and she let’s the curtain fall, is everyone else going to quietly accept their fate?

Men go into marriage thinking the woman they’re marrying will never change, but she does. Women go into marriage thinking the man they’re marrying will change, but he doesn’t.

I personally had lots of post-engagement anxiety. Not at first, but once I started seeing cracks in the facade, I worried about what I was getting into. I don’t think she had too much anxiety. She assumed I would change and there wasn’t much to fear in that. She was wrong, and she eventually realized that, but she saw that divorce was the remedy for that mistake.

Ok. Then do it.

I would hate to be a woman. They are completely immune to the feeling of satisfaction. They desperately need to change their Chad into a beta and then are immediately turned off and unattracted to a man so weak in his convictions.

The fairer sex indeed.

“Getting engaged to someone signifies one step closer to a lifelong commitment.”

I call bulls~~~ on the whole article. She is not making a lifetime commitment because she is unable to make such a commitment. Her commitment is however long it takes for the husbank to get the marital assets large enough that she wants half. And a couple of kids to ensure adequate spousal and child support.

Her”lifelong” commitment will last until she get the vagina tingles and start f~~~ing Chad or Tyrone. In the mean time she is looking for a richer husbank to latch onto.

I think part of this so called anxiety is her trying not to fold and let out her true self before she reaches the finish line AKA contract signing.
She still has to watch her weight.
She still has to be polite.
She still has to accept his friends and family.
She still has to pretend to want to work or finish school.
She cannot nag.
She still has to f~~~ and suck him.
She is counting down the days until she can unleash her inner bitch and she is so close that she can taste it. That’s the anxiety part. Can she keep it together for just a little while longer?

Feminism isn't about equality with men, it's about leverage over men.

Nfg not my problem

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

Thank God Almighty that my last mistake lost her s~~~ during our engagement. She showed her real cards and I escaped with minimal damage. I’m so lucky boys, I was headed right back to bondage and had no idea.

Wtf was I thinking getting engaged? It still is embarrassing to admit I was that dumb.

Satisfaction for anything is beyond them. I lost count how many times my x repainted all the rooms in the house. She constantly rearranged the furniture. There was nothing wrong with the table and chairs in the kitchen, but she wanted to change to something new and different. …………and finally, I was her 4th husband and after we divorced, she almost married a 5th time, so yes, she was never satisfied with any of her husbands.

Women are never satisfied with anything. It must be a miserable existence. Thank God I was born a male.

The evil in women’s hearts leaves them no moral bounds as to inhibit them from descending to the lowest levels of darkness to acquire their self entitled desires.

Funny, I NEVER get post-engagement anxiety regarding someone else’s train wreck!!

We just don't realize life's most significant events while they're happening. Back then, I thought, "Well, there'll be other days". I didn't realize that that was the only day. - "Moonlight" Graham

For a man it’s post marriage regret…

“being a good wife..” – isn’t that the same as saying “being a good Stegasaurus?”? Both being extinct.

Women don’t stress about being a good wife at all – the only thoughts they have are – how can I be as lazy as f~~~ and still get everything I want including plenty of c~~~?

The anxiety comes from the stress of maintaining the pretense until (as Mr Spock says) the contract is signed and she can collect the cash and prizes at will.

Things being a “thing” is now a thing.

That’s called sellers remorse.

Spending 40 thousand on a one day party for myself and inviting everyone I know to witness it would make me a little anxious.

Soon the courts will begin requiring alimony to break off an engagement.

What about Habib and Mr. Wang? Those guys are always missing out.

Have a look at this and try not to bang your head on the desk:

Would you pay your ex a ‘break-up fee’?

Can you imagine if just for a second, these women’s magazines actually told the truth?

There is a REASON why they call it GOLD DIGGING. Women are all dirty f~~~ing miners (Most of them). If they are not now, they will be 6 months later.

You are all alone. If you have been falsely accused of RAPE, DV, PLEASE let all men know about the people who did this. http://register-her.net/web/guest/home

Everything is off the table, we’re not having sex or I’ll charge you with marital rape, my money is for my sexy lingerie you’ll never see, and you still have to pay for everything or I’ll take it in divorce. After 5 years or 2 kids (not yours but legally you can’t know that) I’m taking everything anyway.
