My Boyfriend Doesn't Think I'm Worth Marrying 

yup get the commitment up front before you start having a bunch of kids.

This⏫️

Agreed

And let’s say the first child was unplanned, why have a second before you get the commitment? People think having kids are a sure way to get to marriage and it’s not. So sad. No one wants to buy the cow when you can get the milk for free.

Yes

So if the condom breaks, do you think it's better to 💀 the baby? Because accidents happen. 🙄

So many young female idiots out there!!!! I am 77 year old lady….ask me how I know…😢

​@southerngypsy1894 In some cases yes, it's better for everyone for a potential child not to be born. Do you think this child will be cared for in the best way possible? These people are indefinitely not in a financial or emotional state to take care of another person.

​@@Samurai-zh1jfAre you serious? You would rather a baby be aborted. How about getting a job and take care of your baby or better yet, don't have sex..

Yep, 100%.

But society shouts “Shut up! We can do whatever we want and flee from the consequences of our actions as if they never happened! “ and all the sheep nod their head in agreement.

It won't improve until we end no-fault divorce I'm afraid.

@@Kivlorfuck that, you ain’t ending nothin. If a person doesn’t want to stay in a relationship then that’s it. It’s not like it gets them out of the responsibility of taking care of a potential child/paying child support. And that would even solve y’all’s “issue”. No fault divorce deals with issues while IN a marriage, OP is talking about a situation OUTSIDE of marriage.

This is why religion of Islam is strictly forbid and against this boyfriend girlfriend thing because the woman lose in case of separation it's just sad in the Western country's when you talk about getting married before doing it people look at you like you lost your mind or u are from the moon...

But it prevents alimony anymore. After a split, she could get child support, but likely nothing else.

Exactly what I said. she just doesn't want to say it to herself. But that is always my 'Go-to'. What would I tell my daughter.

Exactly what I thought as well.

He has no plans to get married. She knows the answer. Get a job first, then walk away. Leave his butt.

She is amazing

What if he wants to marry you religiously but not legally?

@@mohamedsaid9416 in the states that might be the same.

Facts.

@@mohamedsaid9416 don't marry him, because why would you not want the person you love to be legally protected in the worst possible case scenario? Very odd.

@@prod.saiyan4863 you did hear she doesn't work right ? So she is having me taking care of your kids, cleaning the house etc

​@@prod.saiyan4863 why would you make a woman who doesn't act like a wife the mother of your children through 🥴

​@@shelbysycamore637why would you have kids by someone you aren't married too. Why the hell do we do these things

@@mschaiemefor all we know that was her choice. She might just be the poor decision maker tbh 🤷‍♂️

He dodged a bullet not marrying her. She's thinking solely about finances.

But she can still make a new life, a good life.

You mean fund her lifestyle? That's not the same as treating someone well

She could still work and raise kids. Many women do that.

There are 32 forms of BC she could have used to or even having kiddies. So she and other Skirts who have them before marriage, did it intentionally. Unfortunately a lot of them point the finger at everyone else and not themselves for choosing to have kiddies out of wedlock. And all of a sudden they wonder why they're not getting a full commitment from a person who never tied the knot with them When you choose to have kiddies without the commitment of marriage, you made your own bed, and now you must sleep in it.

Did they try and fight to get you back?

You could have proposed, or asked sooner than 8 yrs into it.

Did you offer to sign a prenup? I can't imagine why any man wouldn't require one before marriage. Alimony and child support has caused so much harm to relationships.

​@@Chet_24If your girl needs to propose, you're not a man.

@@Chet_24 If a woman needs to propose to force a decision either way (which may or may not be honoured in any case) it doesn’t bode well

That makes too much sense man! So many people want a complicated, sophisticated, or modern approach. Marriage is just a piece of a paper right? Oh the web we weave. I hope this girl makes the right decisions, whatever that is. God bless her and give her wisdom!

Then came FEMINISM, and now women destroy all their marriages.

Lust got the better of them

In America they do backwards.

@@AnonymousU0 "Marriage is just a piece of paper." is what my nephew always told everybody. I asked him how a grown @ss man could be so scared of "...just a piece of paper."

Never marry a woman! You ladies wanted your feminism, now you got it.

Lol that doesnt help all the guys who married and didnt get kids and still got a divorce..

Or women who got married and the husband left her.

@@KVG822 statistically, women initiate divorce 80-90% of the time. (So it's mostly women leaving men)

@@KVG822 But usually those guys get absolutely destroyed in divorce court and the next woman should care/find out why he left but they dont care

No. You shouldn't do that for anyone. A husband can leave you, beat you, financially abuse you, etc. same as a boyfriend.

I really hope she’s in a state that allows for common law unions, if only so she and the kids get some support after he leaves her

@janise01 it's better if he's your husband though so you can get half

@@janise01There are laws to protect the wife. Not the girlfriend.

Stop promoting single mom hood

@@truebengalsfanI agree! I do not promote women having children outside of a stable, healthy marriage but she has already gotten herself into that situation so, like many others, now needs to deal with the reality.

@@carlaritchie331 stay at home mom sounds pretty stable

@@truebengalsfan not sure how you figure a stay-at-home mom is stable, especially if she is depending on the man and not having her own money. This woman is not in a stable situation. He can leave at any time and as she stated she doesn't have the money to support herself

@@kaycon4823 to be a stay at home mom you have to be in a stable situation unless your living off of child support or Uncle Sam

Good for you!

Unfortunately not all women are smart like you. Too many like this caller will give a man all the benefits of a wife and then wonder why he won’t marry her later. After he already has all the benefits of a wife and absolutely nothing to gain.

😂

SMART GIRL

​@@Shaolin91zexactly. Might as well have stayed and had the kids.

Dave is amusing but very wrong on this issue. Marriage right now is financial Russian roulette. Women get divorced 70 percent of the time. Usually, before 5 years, 7 years at the longest. The best prenup in America is too never get married. It's cheaper to pay child support than losing half your networth and pay alimony.

sweetheart, you girls picked these guys, silly mistakes, you trusted him!!!

@@chattingman6777 and you are trying to explain that to the women who benefit from this anomaly ? lool they will pretend they don't get it. MEN SHOULD NOT LISTEN TO SIMP DAVE WHEN IT COMES TO RELATIONSHIP ADVICE. He is living literally in the dark ages

well grace, you are cute so the fact that the guy doesn't want to marry you makes me realize you may have some serious issues. Are you crazy or throw tantrums ? I mean, there must be SOMETHING wrong with you that's putting him off.

Grace!! Your comment broke my heart. I genuinely wish the best for you, you got this!

You can tell by her pause and her later comments. She was already living like a house wife, so giving up that would be a big loss.

Facts

Never marry a woman. It's called FEMINISM. Women got what they wanted, now stop complaining.

Exactly. If a situation like this isn’t good enough for her daughter it then it shouldn’t be good enough for her either.

Exactly she knew what to say

Big facts right here. I was that guy till Jesus changed my life around. Praise God

Not true. I've met many men that are in the never again crowd because they've been scarred before by a divorce.

@@glitter4592 - I agree that they should be upfront about it

or maybe he just doesnt want the government in his finances. Men lose a lot in divorce (child support, alimony, his assets and pension). If he doesnt marry he only has to pay child support if they break up

@@glitter4592 I agree he should make it known up front. But make no mistake every women wants the ability to cheat/walk out and get paid for it. Even if they never actually do it. Men are not getting married anymore. Actually a lot of wealthy people are not getting married like Taylor swift and leonardo dicaprio. Britney spears on the other hand is getting divorced AGAIN and is probably going to lose a lot. Some people never learn. And if johnny depp gets married again he's and idiot. The truth is the only way to be safe in marriage is to only marry someone that has the same amount of wealth as you. Only marry in the same class. And even then men will still loose because assets are often split 60%-80% in the women's favor. The best thing to do is to just not get married unless they make more money than you but women already follow this rule for the most part. Marriage is 100% about money and nothing else. Marriage is dead.

Woman, you've been ran through by every man out there! That's nasty. What happened to shame smh 🤦‍♂️

You’re from a different time. Males don’t want marriage anymore they just want to run the streets and only when they have ED and a debilitating health condition do they want to marry a young woman to be their nurse

Its cause you look like a ball buster.

@lauragb3677, feelings wise who meant more to you, the first husband or the second husband? You can be honest no one knows you here.

@@rpcp5v18 my 2nd husband without question, our relationship is so good and fun, nurturing and supportive. We really care about each other’s happiness. We have helped each other raise kids from our first marriages, but never had kids together- as a blended family of 4 kids were plenty. However, because I had kids with my first husband and I love my sons so much, the sadness and guilt I feel that they had to suffer through the divorce, custody schedule and even now juggle holiday dinners, NEVER goes away. That sting of failure is forever present, at least for me. And I am happy to say my ex husband is happily remarried to someone better suited for him. So for the adults, life is better, but our children paid a huge price. We were just too young to marry and see the ways we were NOT compatible- and those ways are still the same today.

Younger people simple do not understand what you've said, unfortunately.

This is where I am! Boyfriend retired 2 years ago, house is in his name and my income goes in his account as he handles all the finances which I’m great with but he had a heart attack shortly after retirement and I realized if he dies, I’m homeless, no way i could have even gotten my money out of the bank, no benefits for me so I’m SCREWED! I literally nursed him back to health and cried to him in sheer panic and we’re no closer to marriage today than 7 years ago or 2 years ago! I know I’m the idiot here but how do you walk away from someone you love! The kicker is I recently lost my $60K a yr job so unexpectedly and can’t find anything in my field and I see a huge shift not only from financial stress but I don’t feel he even loves me 10% enough to even consider marriage!! I’m 50 years old now and yet again scared I’m going to be homeless and alone!!!!! I’m stupid but pretty in tune about what is going on! Ready to GIVE UP!

I get it

Different generations with different values. In today's world, your woman would likely be cheating on you and if you discover she will attempt to gaslight you into thinking that she's justified to do so, because you abandoned her & she's lonely. - I go to church with one military wife. - She was constantly paying attention to me & attempting to flirt with me, while her husband was deployed. - I was completely disgusted by what she was attempting to do and refused to attempt anything with her. - After he came back & I met him, he seemed like a good reasonable guy. I tell you, many people (both men & women) today are just not content with what they have!

You must not have kids

@@manylaughs9002 in about 2 years I will after I get married this September. I grew up in NYC and saw rampant amounts of people with kids before marriage or before they got their finances in order. It was not a pretty sight from teenagers with kids up to early 20s with kids. I held off on having kids until I felt that I was financially prepared as well as mature enough to be a parent.

@@dnah02 I totally agree with you! I thought the same thing before I got married, I’ll have a child 2 years after being married also thought I needed to be more mature, financially stable, and mentally capable (since it seems stressful). Fast forward 7 years later makes me realize I may not want any, not because of my husband (he'd be great) but because I definitely realize I’m too selfish, I value my peace, sleep, etc. Anyway, It's rare nowadays when you see people plan before having kids, I applaud you.

You had a child out of wedlock… You quite literally showed her you can be used

You are correct! No one deserves to be used. However, people will use you, if you put yourself in a position to be used. Basically, I estimate that 95% of men who are attempting to get involved with you are not willing to commit to you or marry you, especially the ones with the best looks, game, humor & personality.

And that last part is the most damning part

She should put the kids in foster care and move on … tons of women did this back in the day of they had kids they had as teens,biracial,financial issues… cut your losses and go it’s a sad situation but it is what it is

Yah because your judgment is really going to help her. People aren’t perfect. You don’t know what led her there. Empathy and compassion matter! I don’t have kids. I’m not in that position but I have empathy and compassion for those that do. Judgement solves nothing! Empathy does!

@@wookiee27 agree about the true self and mask. Why I said 3-6 months. Your comment is perfect because it sums up the current dating pool - or like I call it - cess pool. Yes - intelligent men may wait a year or two before proposing. That’s very understandable. Intelligent men and women who are also WISE date for 6 months then check in on the relationship and ask deeper questions. That’s called having open communication with your partner - no one is setting an ultimatum. If you see it that way - then you are either a player, a commitment phobe or not into that woman. Look - a man of any intelligence level who actually is serious about finding a wife knows if he wants to be with you long term after 6 months. All the male relationship coaches say this and my married male friends do too. And if you don’t know if you want to commit to her after 6 months - why are you wasting that woman’s time? Let her go. Life isn’t a game. Btw - I’m not speaking marriage at the 6 month mark - just long term plans and goals - If you think it’s manipulative to discuss where things a headed in your committed relationship after dating you exclusively for 6 months - I feel sorry for you and especially for her. This is what is wrong about current society/culture. I don’t believe in the shack up culture and let’s “see how it goes” in a few years. If I had no standards then I would be moved in with my ex already (he asked me to) and pretending to be his house wife and cleaning up his messes. That’s all he wants - like several other men I know - a maid, sex doll and cook. For free (no ring) 🤣 no thanks 🚫

@@Kaktus965 And the ones who pay the highest price of these 2 selfish, damaged, parents are the kids. Not much talk about that in the comments.

Very few females in America provide much that men value. Very few females in America are respectable. Only 30% of young men between 20-30 are bothering to even engage in a romantic relationship right now. The big reason is because there is very little benefit to a man in America to be in a romantic relationship with a modern American female. The best plan for young men is to focus on making money, then, when they have enough income, get a passport and find a humble female in a third-world country that knows how to be a real wife.

Or try understanding his side and join reality because maybe he really does love you.

He "showed" her who he is by providing, protecting and being there for her and their kids. I don't see the issue. Marriage is just an expense label these days. He is not a jobless bum who is not responsible, lol.

She tried to trap him first, and he did the Uno reverse card

hes probably the guy most women want and can't maintain or try to strong arm, then do what they can do to trap them. who knows, one thing sounds right he's a high value guy or he's got enough papper not to be take advantage of again. we dont know his story only this woman situation.

I know the reverse of this; a woman has two kids with another guy she didn't marry and is with a new guy that wants his own child with her. She won't unless he marries her. But think about that. He has to pay a higher 'cost' than the guy that came before him because more is expected. And this guy, for all intents and purposes treats the first two kids like his own and provides for them. The fact that she wants to hold him to a higher standard than the first is a HUGE red flag.

When you live in a common law relationship it's not just "playing house" it comes with the exact same set of responsibilities, rights and entitlements. A piece of paper changes nothing.

@@Lon1001 Not all states recognize common law marriage so they may very well be "playing house" without any of the rights or entitlements of marriage.

@@Lon1001 That may be true, but he obviously expressed that or she probably wouldn't be calling.

@@Lon1001 Common law marriage isn't common at all. Last I checked, only 12 states recognise it. so yep, just playing house.

Abusing your partner is something to be ashamed of, not looked up to. Most men do not give sex which could be a prize. The real problem is that she slept with him before marriage. No sex means no kids. Therefore for intelligent women no marriage means no sex. And free milk seekers can go for stupid cows.

low self esteem

Why do you need a ceremony and piece of paper to vow to be together for the rest of your life? Vow to yourself and her. Plenty of couples out there not married but happily together until the end of their lives with multiple kids.

Condom breaks and she won’t abort

The answer to that is desperation. Someone who is desperate NOT to be alone. Desperate not to lose the one they think is right for them.

Because these people are mindless and financially irresponsible to the point where they don't understand what they're doing in life. These people are the type to rack up debt, have a large family and blame everyone for their problems.

She did… so next question

First could have been an accident, the second was a choice lol

SO TRUE!

She needs to get paid for her services now!

I know. He would pay a stranger more than the woman who is larping wife for him... crazy.

I agree in principle but she is not in a position of power in order to bargain. She doesn’t have a job or skills (it sounds like that anyway) to back up drawing a line with her boyfriend. “You need to pay me what I am worth” “No” ???? She needs to get a skillset and leave. It is sad, but she did this to herself. She had babies with a man who has made her no promises. She has house room, food and clothes. She was foolish to do this.

Fact is - women lose value over time while men gain value. Sad but true. She’s got no chips left to bet.

It has nothing to do with "society" and "social constructs". Ridiculous. Humans evolved to NOT be alone. That is what drives it. Human nature developed over many 1000's of years.

you're right, we need to be more responsible. all of this could've been avoided.

My guess is she was in her early 30s and didn't want to wait any longer for a ring but also didn't want to go back on the market to find a new partner as planning children would be another 3 to 4 years away. When women hit their 30s without a partner they start to lower their standards.

I do not see her urgent or rush in getting married since they have being living ok. This situation and trouble has been brought up by her when trying to changes thing as they have always been since they initiated their relationship.

But he’s already doing it again lmao. he has 2 kids with this woman and they live together as a family… he’s already married, might as well make it legal so you can reap the benefits from that

if they get married SHE'LL reap the benefits, for sure. Him, not so much. He got all the best parts of marriage without the threat of biased-against-men Family Court hanging over his head.

except he is ruining his own relationship and verbally degrades the woman he is with @@slchance8839

​@@slchance8839 What he has is the woman who is 100% invested in the relationship, while he's about 25%; he would at most be on the hook for child support until the kids turn 18. Meanwhile he gets childcare, maid service etc for the price of her keep and he owns all the assets.

@@slchance8839 Dave Ramsey just explained how marriage benefits them both with longer lifespans, better health, and higher earnings. listen to the second half after she hangs up.

Exactly!

Yup!

👍🏿👍🏿

I think she wanted them to tell her how to convince him to marry her, but they recognised that after 2 kids this was a clear boundary for him and didn't even go there.

Exactly!

Thinking about what if it was a man saying his girlfriend does not want to marry him... Probably would say.... well... whats your income? And blablabla... Maybe she's a looser?

@@dieze8277 Nah fr I peeped how they’re more inclined to put more blame on the male😴

How is lying to her helping anyone, they should have said you had the choice to marry before you had kids it’s a little late now. What’s one benefit he as the breadwinner gets to marrying you now, it’s all only risk.

What? They put zero responsibility on her. She chose to have kids out of wedlock without being a wife. This is her fault.

​@@dcg590absolutely. Right now he's only on the hook for child support which means he'd be living under a bridge anyway. Why marry her and when she gets the tingles for Chad, he loses half of everything. Nah, ain't worth it. He's treating her exactly as she earned it. Girl better learn her place and make the best of it.

Lol what take the kids and go ?

Yeah and now you're broke, a single mother, state aid, child support, custody. She's been playing house for seven years, may as well keep on going. I wouldn't marry her either if I was him. He doesn't need to.

There's no benefit to him wifing her. Only downsides for him.

​@@robertbell525she chose to have two kids and stick around for 7 years before bringing up the marriage discussion. She's still in a relationship, maybe she should have brought all this up before having his children

Lack of respect is not grounds for divorce. Biblically speaking, at least. Relationships are hard. Marriage is harder. Fight for it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Loving together before marriage is a serious sin.

@@justin15157 We had a 2-bedroom apartment, so what do YOU know??

@@justin15157 Well maybe they repented and got married.

@@justin15157 Ive lived with a girlfriend from my past. We had separate rooms. Was this sinful? Maybe you shouldnt be so fast to judge. That is also a sin.

​@@justin15157 I'm sure they asked for forgiveness every night they were banging. You happy now?

I've heard men say that but it's very inconsiderate towards the children.

Exactly...and these dumb women fall into the trap everytime.

@@alluringbliss4165they don’t care about these children.

Women can sleep with any man they want. So pick carefully ladies.

I disagree. Marriage isn’t the end all be all.

Dr. Delony has a a PhD in counseling, hence why she called.

She doesn’t have a job sooooo

What did he do wrong ? He’s paying all the bills & being a father. He just doesn’t want to get married…

​@InTheBooks that part but thats what happens if your man your automatically demonized on this show

@@And1one757 don’t be a S..y man and you will not be demonized.

Not after 10 years

@@iamme7664 to each their own. It took us 10 years but we already felt married. That others may not agree with my life decisions doesn’t take any joy, rights or richness away from mine.

They are cheering her onto financial destitution. What advice.

You wouldn't have listened 35 years ago. It's too late for her 2 babies in too late

@@Elementalism And you'd cheer this young woman onto no security, no future, no financial independence, and no rights. Is that the adivice you're implying? Just stay trapped and wait for him to suddenly want to marry her some day?🤔

@drea4195 So what does the ring afford her she doesn't have now? The ring wasn't important enough for her to not procreate. But today it is? This advice is the worst. Shat freedom is she providing for herself to run into the lowest socioeconomic class in this country? And doing it because she doesn't have a ring.

People can do whatever they want. There are plenty of married people cheating on their spouses. If she chooses to stay with him that is on her.

@@danielrn133 Yep. Marriage is not a guarantee against your partner thinking you are worthless.

@@danielrn133exactly!! Dave said she’s basically trapped. Like technically, legally, scientifically she’s not! She’s a free women! She can walk out that door and say Fxck them kids as she pleases. You don’t need a legal document to live a happy life with your children..

But she can't walk out and get spousal support since he has been supporting her and the kids.

If you are living together and doing everything else that entails, you are effectively married. A piece of paper from the courthouse isn’t going to fix anything. Also, you should consider a new prospect that has lived with a previous partner as divorced. They are. In the ways that matter anyway.

Why would any man with or without assets risk losing half of what he's got by being legally married ?

@@handyman1016 In the vast majority of cases it’s only half of what’s acquired during the marriage. Anything either party had going in isn’t a marital asset. And way more men would get married if the woman they actually want to spend their life with pushed the issue and wasn’t willing to stay a girlfriend for years on end. Women like this move in, have babies, combine assets, cook, clean and act like a wife when they’re not a wife. Then they wonder why he won’t marry them.

1. She had children by him before marriage. 2. Moved in with him before marriage. That's her values and lifestyle. Suck it up and forget the marriage covenant. She is as bad as him in joining in in his bad decisions and now she wants to cry about it. Not and true repentance but I'm sorry because it hurts.

pre-marital assets are divided in divorces, unless there's a prenup in place protecting them. This woman has all the benefits of marriage, but just without the government contract. She wants that contract for more bargaining chips, so that way she can come out on top in a divorce. She's already been planning her exit, now she wants that marriage contract for more leverage. All of this wouldn't be a problem if women weren't cleaning out men in divorce courts, for much more than half @@sarahphillips295

Sounds like a Purple Pill guy - got burned in the divorce, but still wants the benefits of a marriage.

Only in this vide! He does interrupt him in most of the others. There are some in which he doesn't even let John speak.
