Not slandering bud, I could gaf if someone is married or not, I’m not even against it but I see what it is for what it is. A meaningless contract in the name of “love” that can only be used against you if things sour (in this country 50% clip)
I get the whole tradition, family structure etc but this is a new era. You don’t need that contract to achieve any of those things and shouldn’t unless you have safe guards in place. Especially for guys with money, fu#k around end up paying alimony
Bro I definitely understand what you are saying. As a divorced man I totally get it, I dont think I would ever get married again, but thats because of MY terrible experience. Not everyone has that same experience.
I think sometimes we think in absolutes. For some men on here they are truly in love with they wife, especially if she is their best friend. My current gf we tried living together, that didnt make either of us happy. We love each other and she stays over probably 3-4 times a week, but we just cant live together everyday. So instead of blowing it all up we adjust and for now we good.
So now im kinda stuck…now we are 2 and a half years in…do I change things? I get all the benefits, i dont want anyone else, we kinda live like married people who can go to the own place. It perfect, but is that gonna last? And do I really want a girlfriend the rest of my life? Growing old alone, even with all the material stuff i own doesnt seem very appealing.
Marriage is a 50/50 thing, you are right about that. But when i see the rare examples of couples who are truly united in marriage like my 2 brothers, who are married for a long time now to really strong, good women it lets me know it is attainable. Beautiful kids who are teenagers now. They go through rough times like everyone else but they wives really hold them down through everything, I have never truly had that. But just because I have had numerous long term relationships, have a child, divorced and all kinds of other sh1t with women, I cant say it doesn't exist…I have seen it.
Its an antiquated system, the court hates men…but I do believe it can be wonderful with the right woman. I just havent found her yet…same might be true for you but i dunno. I sometimes think all the fu#k sh1t i did in college and the r were women I fu#ked around on in my 20’s is karma lol but who knows.
Peace to you bro
