"Men Don't Marry The Love Of Their Life; They Marry The Woman In Front Of Them When They're Ready": The Internet Is Dropping Their Brutally Honest Advice For Getting Over That Ex You Still Think About At 2 A.M.
Threads user paigedav is gaining a lot of attention on the platform for revealing just how heartbroken she is over an ex. She asked people to share comforting words to help her get through, and we thought some of the advice might be helpful if you're trying to move on from a relationship, too!
"Have you considered, even for a moment, that perhaps YOU are the one who got away 🤍?"

Same goes for women: they don't marry the love of their life.

Yes, thank goodness I'm the one that got away!

If he isn't married to me, then he isn't the love of my life.

Especially Hmong women because many were forced to get married and sometimes to a much older man that they had zero connection with...SAD BUT TRUE!

Unless the husband is abusive and a bum, many of these women find contentment with the husband. There are countless stories of women who divorced only to find out that the men who are available are even worse. And for the ones who divorced and reconnected with an old lover, it always turns out that the old lover was only using them.
This is why I still firmly believe that no man is going to love you more than the one who married you, raised children with you, brought you into his family, and made plans to build a life with you. If he is willing to make things work then always choose that.

Those men tend to be opportunist and only marry their wife based on how she can serve him at the moment. Who wants a husband who has "the one that got away?"
I don't know about other women, but it's not positive energy to be with a man who left the last woman heartbroken, used, and lied to. Especially if this is a pattern in his relationship history. You end up inheriting his karma, and curses by association. The universe will deliver justice. In addition, it's most likely that this man is a narcissist or has heavy narcissistic traits, and all his relationships were built on who could provide the best supply for him during whatever season he was experiencing in his personal life. He appears loyal (by making big grand gestures (love bomb) like making big purchases, moving in together, sharing personal accounts, etc.) in order to win trust so that he can get the supply. But make no mistake, he has no problem discarding the girlfriend/wife when the situationship no longer suits him or he finds better supply.

Many never find contentment because they were forced to married, sad but true...
Forced marriage—defined as a marriage where one or both parties cannot or do not consent, often involving coercion, fraud, or emotional blackmail—is inherently associated with poor mental health, lack of autonomy, and significant unhappiness. While specific, universally aggregated "happiness percentages" for forced marriages are hard to isolate, research shows they are highly correlated with depression, abuse, and a loss of personal agency.

It's a roll of the dice and some are lucky to be with the one they wanted all along but by choosing that route, there comes obstacles like he's a bum or she's a bum but we loved each other.
Some are content with what they have or hook up with. Not my first choice but a choice is still a choice and here we are.
there shouldn't be buyer's remorse as that is how the cookie crumbles. If you add time, loyalty will be build as both will find this connection, especially if you add sex and kids involved, that is instant connection as they refer it to when they say the two is now becoming 1.

Choice, what a beautiful word that is. Unfortunately for many Hmong women that were forced to married, they didn't have any.
From some those that I've talked to during my days as a social worker, those women felt like they were raped regularly.

Having strong feelings for someone does not make them the love of your life. Love is more than feelings. Love is the life that you two built together. Love is the fruit that comes from the relationship.

i think it depends. some couples do marry for a mysterious reason(s), for some a specific reason(s).
reason(s) for marriage is not an one-size fits all...
