Okay answer honestly please

And try not to be rude in your answer....

If you were going to marry someone, and they demonstrated over the course of 4 years that they were not capable of taking care of you when you were sick or incapacitated, would you still marry that person? 🤔

Alarm bells...

Don’t marry them, i don’t get ill much, I married someone that had no empathy at all when I had illness and operations, it only gets worse in every area, I didn’t see until years later.
I once had to drive myself to A&E through the night. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

@Platinum aw it’s ok, 😊 I was naive and young, funny now it’s over he’s begging to be a better husband and says he’s changed. 🤨 Lol

No.

Everyone is capable of nurturing to some degree. They can claim aversion or ignorance but the reality is we can all learn techniques of care.

If they have shown over 4 years that they will not care for you then that is a choice by them. It indicates their true level of concern for you and is probably just one of many indicators that they are totally self-centered and focused only on what they can get from the relationship.

Well that would depend how it is important to them and whether or not that was a big deal to them . If there was no change after four year well I would have wasted 4 years on that person for nothing. So if you could over look that then that's okay but if you cannot then you have a problem.

No. They get even more dependent on you when they marry you. All you will end up with is a parasite.

It would have to be more than just that one thing that makes me want to be with them or not be. Maybe that person has a deeper rooted issues that keeps them from helping or maybe they really don't care. You have to take the entire person into consideration not just one thing you like or dislike.

If that’s the only flaw yes.

Yes. Just cuz someone cant look after me doesnt mean it ain't worth being with them. Just means they've got a flaw.

No one looks after me anyway when I'm sick.

@SW-User see that's how I was when I was younger. But as I am getting older I think I want someone to be able to nurture me when I'm not well. It's exactly what I would do for them.
SW-User
@DearAmbellina2113 I think the real thing here, is theres a difference between cannot look after you and won't look after you.

I would not date someone who didn't think I'm worth nurturing. If I was with someone that was just really bad, or too busy, at certain things that made it difficult for them to nurture me... then I'd make do.

No. What are his redeeming qualities?
updown2020 · 61-69, M
@DearAmbellina2113 Well have you told him about this and if so what is his reaction?
DearAmbellina2113 · 41-45, F
@updown2020 he thinks he takes care of me because "he does what I ask him to do". 🙄 Which first off, isn't completely true. Secondly, he barely does what I ask him to do even when he does decide to.
updown2020 · 61-69, M
@DearAmbellina2113 Well then you have a decision to make.

If I was on a date and I didn't even think they'd call 911 in an emergency I wouldn't bother with a second.
smiler2012 · 56-60
dearambellina2113 as in incapable of doing so not his fault you mean
grayhalo · 41-45, M
That would be something to worry about. I'd lean towards the no honestly.
Wraithorn · 51-55, M
Why were they not capable ?
DearAmbellina2113 · 41-45, F
@Wraithorn Idk. He either wasn't taught how to nurture, or he doesn't think enough about other people. Either way, I'm not sure I wanna spend the rest of my life with someone like that.

@DearAmbellina2113 then don’t
I question your training skills 😁
