I found this article to have zero value and zero cogent information because he boils the whole thing down to “gut check” (instinct — no real information here) plus “dealbreakers” (a nebulous category that he makes clear is always changing for everyone so there’s not really any useful info there either). This reads like a long hemming and hawing written by some dude who probably shouldn’t marry his partner but he’s trying to convince himself it’s a good idea and seek validation for his bad decision by writing a long abstract post justifying it. Pro tip to the author, if your relationship prompts you to write a long article justifying your decision-making process about whether or not to marry your partner, then your partner has failed the gut check and you shouldn’t marry them. 4/10 article, interesting concepts but zero actionable or new info that isn’t already common/universal knowledge in western societies. It’s also just plain weird that he would write an article that long which is clearly based on his life experiences but not share any of his specific life experiences or anything about him. Maybe he thinks subtracting the self from the article makes it “more universally applicable,” but really his decision not to include any info about his personal relationship history just makes it less relatable and thus FAR less applicable to anyone.
