Sometimes He's Not Ready, and It's Okay to Move On

Let's keep it real.  Women mature at a much faster rate than men.  It's not a good thing.  It's not a bad thing. It just is.  I am not saying that this is the rule; however, it is the trend.  Still, what I observe, over and over again, are women who are not willing to acquiesce to this reality.  Although your relationship may appear perfect and every one keeps asking when the two of you will wed, sometimes a man is just not ready to settle down, and if you cannot accept that, it is okay to walk away.

There's a saying that goes, "Women marry when they fall in love, men marry when they are ready."  That single sentence holds an alarming degree of truth.  Let's explore the traditional role of men and women in relationships (at this time, all of the feminists may now exit stage left - please reemerge circa paragraph 4).  Traditionally, men are viewed as providers, while women are nurturers.  Whether you consciously ascribe to these gender roles or not, these characteristics have become ingrained in our psyches due to social influences.
