A recent post on X, formerly Twitter, has ignited fierce debate online about honesty, commitment, and the emotional toll of long-term relationships.
The story, shared by a woman recounting her friend’s experience, revealed that her friend had been dating his girlfriend for three years. When asked playfully about when he might propose after sharing a photo with his partner, his response stunned many: “She’s not my type for a wife.”
The comment has sparked outrage and deep conversations about emotional responsibility in modern dating. Many users are questioning why someone would remain in a relationship for years without clear intentions about marriage or a shared future.
Public Reactions:
Fein wrote: “Three years of dating, shared memories, probably countless compromises and he still decides she’s ‘not his type’ for a wife? That’s not just indecisive, it’s careless and unfair. Three years is long enough to know if someone’s right for you.”
GirlSoulGuru added: “3 YEARS??? And he’s saying that out loud like it’s normal??? Men will waste your youth with a smile, I’m sick.”
Timi commented: “Damn that ngga is crazy. Why waste her time when you know you have nothing to do with her?”
InkForTruth reflected: “Really it’s a chilling reminder that some people view relationships not as a journey toward partnership, but as a holding pattern to occupy their time until their REAL LIFE begins.”
Matta said: “Wasting a girl’s time for nothing. Why can’t people be straightforward about their feelings and whether they see a future with the individual?”
Rebecca added: “It doesn’t take long to figure out if someone is marriage material, but I never understood why you would waste someone else’s time while you figure it out.”
Raven concluded: “Three years deep and she still ain’t ‘wife material’ to him? Bro just admitted he’s been auditioning someone he already knows he won’t cast. Save her the plot twist and let her go find her real leading man.”
The incident has reignited conversations about accountability in relationships and the importance of being honest about intentions. Social media users argue that long-term dating should not be a “trial period” if there’s no genuine commitment, warning that emotional damage from such relationships can linger long after they end.
