These are reasons why one should maintain proper standards and reasonable expectations. There is a heavy price to pay to settle for less in love, relationships and life.

• Destruction of mental, physical, spiritual and all-around well-being.

• The chance of being his beard: he is on the downlow; is sexually involved with men secretly. But his lady is his cover so that he can appear to be conventional.

• Possibly having children with him and the children suffering through chaos, dysfunction and eventual separation or divorce.

• It’s likely he will cheat, potentially exposing his lady to diseases and infections,  betraying her in one of the most severe ways.

• As a woman, feeling lonely still, because Mr. Wrong is emotionally unavailable because of bad social conditioning and failure to heal.

• Burnout. His lady has burnout because he stresses her out so much in general.

• Marriage leading to divorce.

• Becoming a pornography widow. There are women whose husbands choose porn over them.

• Spiritual, emotional, physical and other types of abuse.

• Being abandoned, left as single mother, broken-hearted.

There are more problems that can arise from being with the wrong person that I did not mention here.

I listed some of the most common problems that I see. This post is a reminder friends, to wait patiently on the Lord. To pray, be discerning and intentional about having a healthy relationship and marriage. God is a great guide and protector!
