The one factor that’s fixed in life is change. Individuals are all the time rising and creating, so what might need appeared good for somebody in some unspecified time in the future, may not work for them sooner or later, particularly in terms of relationships.
We’ve heard quite a few tales of husbands leaving their wives for what they thought was an “upgraded mannequin,” or girls shifting on to a extra “thrilling” companion, however one man by no means even made it down the aisle earlier than he determined he was too priceless to get married.
In a LinkedIn submit, Rishabh Malhotra shared the story of his reneging on three totally different girls he had meant to marry.

Within the submit, which reads extra like an excerpt from his diary than one thing that must be shared on an expert community, Malhotra began by saying, “It was not that I solely did severe arduous work in life. There have been some humorous issues I did. I instructed three women I’ll marry them however married none.”
He went on to present the explanations for every failed engagement.
He put his profession forward of the primary relationship.
Within the first occasion, Malhotra mentioned he was simply 23 and “very formidable” when he met a woman that he was involved in. He wished to marry her… ultimately, however felt he wanted to develop into financially safe first.
He promised that if he “cracked [something] massive,” he would suggest. That didn’t occur on the time, so that they parted methods and by no means crossed paths once more.
He was too busy engaged on his multi-million-dollar thought to decide to marriage.
With the second girl Malhotra was engaged to, he claimed he was knee-deep in engaged on his “massive thought” when a girl approached and let him know she was single, apparently expressing an curiosity in wedding ceremony Malhotra.
Like he did with the primary girl, he instructed her that if he grew to become a millionaire, he would marry her. He later tried to seek out her, however to his disappointment, she had moved on and married another person.
He determined that he might have any girl he wished so determined to not marry.
By the point the third marital prospect got here round, Malhotra says he had launched his thought efficiently, and as soon as once more, instructed a woman he would marry her. As he contemplated the likelihood, he got here to consider that due to his monetary scenario, he might be with “the very best women of the world” and didn’t need to marry anybody.
Malhotra additionally mentioned that he found that he loved his single life, so determined to not transfer ahead with an engagement to her.
Individuals weren’t completely positive why Malhotra selected to inform his story on LinkedIn of all locations.
The primary person who commented echoed the feelings of many others on the common-or-garden brag try. They mentioned, “Why can’t they perceive that LinkedIn is an expert networking platform not a private diary,” to which one other reader responded, “They’ll share something and the whole lot, considering they’re celebrities.”
Malhotra’s submit leaves loads to unpack because it pertains to marriage and funds.
It’s fully comprehensible {that a} man would need to be financially safe earlier than getting married and beginning a household however it appears very pointless to even deliver up marriage if you happen to’re not ready to do it.
It looks as if the ladies on this story had been subjected to having the marital “carrot” dangled in entrance of them so they could grasp round in limbo ready to be a bride. Malhotra hoped that they’d put their lives on maintain as a result of he had the potential to develop into rich.
However that doesn’t appear to be the underlying motivation for the submit. It has hints of “prop fishing,” a time period my brother coined for when individuals inform a compelling story to brag about their accomplishments or success and obtain accolades.
Now everyone knows Malhotra is wealthy and profitable, a girls’ man, and I’d guess that the ladies he misplaced contact with aren’t shedding any sleep.
