People Reveal Why Men Will Make Significant Commitments to Their Partner But Not Marry Them

Tiktok user Fumi, or @mahamaven, uses her platform to spread a lot of important messages to other women about dating, careers, and anything that she feels puts women in a difficult position. She tends to see the red flags before we have the gall to point them out ourselves. It was not a surprise when she responded to a controversial video that Tiktoker @eduard_martiosyan shared.

In Eduard's video, he makes a strong point about women who remain in long-term relationships with men who don't pop the question, and Fumi adds her very nuanced input. Let's watch the video to get an idea of what they're talking about.

The Theory

One of the commenters below put it best when he wrote, “You can walk away from all of those other ‘commitments’ but legally you can’t walk away from a marriage." To Which Fumi replied, “This.” The major point is that if you want to be married, and you've found yourself in a long-term relationship with someone else who seemingly acts oblivious to your dream… Run girl.

Of course, we wouldn't say this applies to everyone, some people start dating at an absurdly early age and it wouldn't make sense for their partner to pop the question, but other times, the answer is unclear. What Fumi is saying here is that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see a pattern. There are so many strong commitments that a couple can jump into together, but the only legally binding one is marriage. That's the difference.

Some people in the comments do not agree, however:

“Ik some ppl don’t want to get married and that’s different. But I will NEVER understand why you would have a kid with someone on purpose b4 marriage”

“I think marriage is super out-dated and shouldn’t be considered a life goal xx”

“As a divorced woman, getting married was the worst financial decision of my life. Just putting that out there.”

What's your take?
