Today, every boyfriend I’ve ever had dumped me because they realised I was serious about saving myself until marriage. I’m now in my late 30s, single, and childless. My sister, whose knickers were up and down like a yo-yo in high school, is happily married with 3 great kids. Religion is for idiots. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I now have been dumped by 4 serious girlfriends in the last 5 years, each of them for the same reason: Being with me would have meant dealing with my mother who, without fail, asked each of them when we planned on marrying and having kids, every single week. FML
Today, my date walked out on me after I told him I was devout in my beliefs, including saving myself until marriage. Apparently, meeting me at Sunday services didn’t twig him to my faith, and he actually thought religious girls were all secret sluts like in the pornos. FML
Today, I have been single for four years. During this time, I have hit it off with a dozen women. Ten of them turned out to be very religious or in cults, which is a deal breaker to me. Of the remaining two, one became a dear friend before blocking me when she met her now boyfriend, and the last one is asexual. FML
Today, I realized I have rejected at least five marriage offers and about the same number of women who've wanted to have my children. I have never been into kids or marriage, but all my girlfriends and some FWBs turn into marriage and kid crazy wannabe housewives after a while. FML
Today, my boyfriend's brother and his fiancée decided to preach to me about how I need to read the Bible because I'm agnostic. I'd be fine, if it wasn't coming from two 19-year-olds who dated for 5 months, got pregnant, got engaged, lost the baby, and still wanna get married, "so they don't look bad." FML
Today, my 9 year old niece asked me if I was a virgin. I told her, "Yes, I'm saving myself until marriage". She replied, "That's a load of bullshit, you just can't get a guy!" Sadly, she's right. FML
Today, I'd always thought my sister was an idiot for having her kids in her teens and early 20s before she was ready. Thing is, she’s now in her early 30s, her kids are grown, and she’s loving life. I had my kids in my 30s. By the time they’re grown, I’ll be old and broken down. FML
Today, I ran into my ex at the mall. He’s married, with a 2 year-old. Three years ago he ended our 6-year relationship because he said he didn’t believe in marriage and kids. Sorry for not being good enough to achieve those things with. FML
Today, after I was with my ex for five years before we split up because she didn’t want to marry, have children, or seemingly grow up at all, now a year later she has married some dude and is two months into their first planned pregnancy. I guess she just didn’t want to marry or have kids with me. FML
Today, after agreeing to marry my boyfriend, he started spouting crap about converting to his religion, and how I’d need to take lessons from his mother on how to be a proper wife to him at all times, like, EXCUSE ME, WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU’RE TALKING TO? DUMPED. See ya later, douchebag. FML

My first time around, I waited until marriage. Whoever says you won’t regret waiting is completely full of shit.

Then stop being an idiot. Or stop complaining. Either one

You sound judgmental af. Maybe saving yourself isn’t the problem, your personality is.

Don't purposely do things the hard way and then complain about how hard it is. No one wants to hear that. If you're living your life that way because you truly believe it's the right way to live, then you just have to try to be satisfied with doing the right thing.

I accidentally downvoted but I agree with you. Doing the right thing is it's own reward. It is usually not easy.

I've seen the saving yourself work well but only for people who get married at like 20.

In this instance I'd say it was the self-imposed abstinence that was for idiots. Even the Jonas Brothers gave up their purity ring bullshit, and those dudes couldn't form a personality between the three of them.

If you want people who have your same standards you need to almost exclusively date people you know have your same standards. Find those people in your own religion.

I was doing the same until I met my current boyfriend. He’s only the second person I’ve dated and the first I’ve slept with. Now we’re on track to be engaged. When you meet the right person you know.

These days, it's a bad idea to wait until marriage. Sexual incompatibility is a serious issue for many couples, and if you wait until after you're married to have sex, and that happens, then you're stuck in the situation. Divorces aren't cheap... best to be experienced beforehand. This isn't the 1800s anymore, or even the 1900s.
