I’m seeing a repeating trend just lately among my male friends where they are seemingly willing to put up with absolutely batshit behaviour from the women they are dating that they either know is awful but tolerate regardless or seem somehow blind to They never would have done 10 years back, and these are relatively short relationships- maybe max a year, not ones where there is a huge sunk time element Occasionally you can drag the main insecurity driving this out of them. They are hitting 40, their friends are mostly coupled up, and they are scared of ending up alone I’m not saying it’s not an understandable and probably normal anxiety, but I am saying that with most of these nut bags… spending your remaining years on an actual desert island would be preferable. Staying attached to these situations is 100% not worth it and is going to get them in a mess and likely still single eventually anyway But I just can’t seem to get that through to them. Is there any obvious counter argument as men that would help ease the worry about the dying alone thin? submitted by /u/JustGeeseMemes
