Yeah of course there are always exceptions.Looks and intellect don't necessarily decide your dating life though. She's probably had lots of guys interested, but may have wanted to concentrate on her daughter (or been gun-shy since her ex was a cheater). Knew a girl in high school, smart, pretty, great personality. Got married early and had a son. Marriage tanked quickly. Spent the next 20 years putting herself through college and raising her son. Only dated once or twice in all that time as far as I know. Still just hangs out with groups of friends (both genders) and doesn't date. Quite happy.
On the flip side, my brother in law is a fairly handsome, successful, guy. he's on live in girlfriend #5 or 8 or 10 (something like that) and has had 5 actual wives in between all thatHe just sort of skips dating straight to marriage or commitment....then finds out later they're bat-shit crazy or wanted by the police
. He never, never, cheats....but meets someone new within 2 weeks of a breakup.
It takes all kinds![]()
The man who gave them their only child is considered special for quite a few of women. Even if the relationship ended badly, it will be always considered as the one big love.
And i think to commit is just something very final for Allison.
She made her decision, committed herself completly to Jake, married him and gave him a child.
I feel like a possible breakup was completly out of the question for Allie.
Even after she divorced him, she expects Jake to make the impossible possible and find a way for her to forgive him.
Half of her insults towards Jake in the beginning are her trying to provoke him to redeem himself, to prove her that he changed.
She even asks him outright „You won’t even try to make it up to me? The wife you cheated on?“ because she wants it so badly just can’t see how it could be possible.
This woman has the wedding picture showing herself and the ex-husband she supposedly hates, kissing each other, showcased in her living room 5 years after the divorce..
More commitment is barely possible, she simply never moved on and is still in love
