Nagging

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I found out that my husband never wanted to marry me, he only did because I wouldn't quit pestering him to propose to me. FML

And you thought it was ok for you to keep nagging him to propose to you while you were dating? Ugh! I know women like that.....the kind who believe that having a wedding ring on their finger is some sort of a life accomplishment so they keep hinting their boyfriends that they should get married.......they annoy me so much! How about having a bit of respect for yourself and value yourself as a woman, not as someone's wife! YDI.

So, let me get this straight- I'm guessing you begged, bothered, pestered, whined, and probably gave an ultimatum. In my experience, that's what women like you do. He clearly wasn't ready to propose or get married, or else he would have done so with zero bugging from you. Now you're surprised and upset to find out he didn't want to do it? Women like you are what makes the rest of us look bad.

you dated him for how long and you couldn't tell by body language that he didn't want to propose?? and for all you people saying it's the husbands fault.. you guys obviously have no idea about how much a woman can nag. you can dread getting up in the morning it's that bad. and if it's someone who really won't take no for an answer, saying no doesn't help. chances are, the husband didn't want to call her a bitch and leave, but sometimes that's what needs to happen, because some people just don't understand no really does mean I DONT WANT TO **** OFF.   on so many issues, YDI.

some guys are dickheads and will drag a girl on FOR YEARS if they let them..... so.. once the girl draws the line and the ******** "gives in" , he acts like she owes him something and will sometimes be even more ********-ish by using it against the girl in arguments..... duh! WHY BUY THE COW WHEN YOU GET THE MILK FOR FREE??!?!?!?!? ESP. in situations where they live together... the guy sees no point and has no motivation so the girl must NAG.. b/c MOST NORMAL girls (i'm not saying everyone..) want a wedding and would be proud to be a man's wife and not satisfied with the status of a live-in... if there's no positive motivation (like if you don't live together, the prospect of booty every night, ect.) then there has to be SOME kind of motivation.. most guys don't want to get married.. the wedding is for the woman and the man goes through it to show her how much he is willing to do for her....so of course he's not going to ask if he doesn't have to.. GOOD JOB OP!!! WOO HOO!!!!!

wow, I'm just speechless....... A girl MUST nag her boyfriend to get him to propose????? That is among the most f***ed up things I've heard my entire life! Suuuuuuure, nag him into marrying you......... this way, after a couple of years, you can start wondering why he resents you and why he chooses to spend his time with anyone but you. In 10 years' time, you can start wondering why he finds any woman more appealing than his own wife. Also, why is being a wife something to be proud of? And why is being a "live-in" something to be ashamed of? Personally, I feel proud to be someone's "live-in" and not his wife. Because I know that he comes home to me because he wants to, not because we signed a contract to be together. As someone said above, women like you and the OP make the rest of us look bad.

Hey, stupid, he's still with you, isn't he? Get over yourself and stop whining! If you wanted him to propose for the right reasons, you wouldn't of acted like you did. Oh, and, why didn't you just propose to him? YDI for pestering him, HeDI for actually marrying you because of your pressure.

So what have we learned from this experience? Don't pester people to do something they aren't prepared to do.

You know, you got what you wanted, so why are you complaining? He married you in the end, and that's what you wanted, so shut your noisebox and live with the consequences of your actions. It's not his fault if he was pestered into doing what he did. You might as well have held a gun to his head and forced it out of him. Or is that exactly what you did? If so, it sounds like now he would want you to pull the trigger and put him out of his misery. This is your fault, not his. You just couldn't wait till he was comfortable with all of it, could you? He could have proposed to you when he was damn good and ready, but now you'll never know because you wouldn't stop being such a harpy!!
