Women who married below their league, why did you and do you regret it?
9 comments
I’m not too sure I believe in ‘leagues’. Love is love. My granny was quite well to do and fell in love with the guy that worked at the local gas station just before WW2. They got married and had the most beautiful life together even though they were very different people.
Looks don’t matter.
Because I didn’t understand that I was dating/married waaaaay below my league until later in life. Been happy since I figured it out. Was miserable until I did.
Until women started deeply discussing the bs we were told was acceptable on social media we were left with an absolute bullshit idea of what we should expect from partners. It’s getting better. Younger generations are making different choices and older generations are joining. More and more women are realizing that it’s not worth it to accept a relationship if you’re not happy – wishing things were different is enough to know its time to leave.
Who decides the rules for leagues?
That’s some middle school nonsense right there.
What do leagues have to do with love
Surely only it’s only in unsuccessful or unhappy relationships that people consider themselves in “a different league” to their partner?
I couldn’t imagine being so cruel or disrespectful to mine!
Arranged marriage. Not yet, but I have a feeling I might. Too bad I actually adore the in-laws.
Fingers crossed.
Too much value is placed on someone’s physical looks or cultural preferences. The media has put too much emphasis on people’s physical appearance or financial status and in the end that only goes so far! As a 58m a woman could be a perfect 10 physically attractive but if you can’t stand to be around her after a while then what the point? But if you meet someone who isn’t the most attractive physically but connects with you and understands and respects and understands you then that inner beauty far outshines the physical beauty. Let’s face it most men as we age don’t keep up our physical appearances but yet they seem to be the worst critics. Find some who accepts you for who you are and not what they can do for you sexually or financially. Devotion and loyalty and respect is what makes a connection between a couple
Honestly, every married couple I ever met who pushes about their spouse will tell me that their wife/husband is leagues ABOVE them. The ones that complain that they “married down” make me wonder why they’re still married. They normally get married and are attracted and as they get older, they then feel like the other person is below them.
Looks don’t matter when you love someone because you’ll find them attractive no matter what.
