Written off?  Aged out? Worn out?

 

I'm at a loss for words.



Me too @Etoile308 .  How does this apply to Lisa?

How does it apply to anyone?

@maximillian , I don't know.  Hopefully her fiance paid for it.


Maxi I'll I an - wow! Both tacky and rude. And why would you care?


Times have changed.  There is no more "looking for a husband to take care of you".  Maybe she's paying for everything and taking care of him.  Good for her.

Re: Lisa Robertson's Engagement Ring

I believe the words "written off, worn out" were used tongue in cheek. Older women, single or not, are often described that way. I do not believe that poster believes any woman is written off, which was why she used quote marks. I read the poster as saying Lisa busted through the labels many have put on her and other strong, independent women.

I have never understood that concept of having a husband taking care of you.  There are still people raising their young daughters to believe a man will take care of them.  Those days are gone.  Many men and women cannot even take care of themselves let alone someone else.

So happy for her!  

 

Some women don't want to get married....or be married, and some do.

 

She's someone who found love and wants to get married.

@lgfan - I couldn't love your post more.  My parents raised my sister and me to be strong and independent and to work hard and provide for ourselves.  And so we did.

 

I was very happily married to my husband for over 29 years and miss him deeply.  But I never needed him to "complete" me (gag, gag, gag on that term) or provide for me.  I wasn't raised to be "lesser than" to a man.

 

 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?
