What Married Men Have To Say (Page 2)

41. Only boneheads marry.
REPLY: Speaking as someone married for 23 years, I AGREE WITH YOU! Stupidest thing I ever did. I seem to remember thinking I was going to get lots of sex from her or something equally insane.

42. I knew everyone in her family before I knew her. We dated for 4 years before getting married. She was smart, funny, kind, thoughtful, witty. THE DAY OF THE WEDDING, right after she got that ring, she changed. I should??ve walked out but I had been telling myself for months that marriage is for keeps so at first you rationalize her behaviour, thinking —oh she's geeked over the wedding??. Then the sex stops, then the nagging and pestering and arguing starts. I thought i was marrying my very best friend, lover, confidante, and intellectual and emotional peer. She changed gears and never looked back, concentrating on spending my money and having party after stupid mind-numbingly boring party and buying the next house and redecorating and getting more jewellery and??_ anything but pal-ing around with me and fucking my brains out and laughing with me and walking hand-in-hand with me. In other words all the shit she SAID she would love to do until the day we died.

43. The last time my wife and I had sex (two weeks ago) during the humping phase she comments —when you get done, can you take a sock and clean the cobwebs off the ceiling—
REPLY: That is one of the most depressing things I have read. And I have read this entire thread.

44. Over 50% of marriages in this country end in divorce. Sometimes —taking responsibility?? means getting the hell out of a fucked up situation. Regardless of that, it is a certainty that women will change after you get married. It is rarely for the better, which is why this thread exists in the first place.

45. This thread is highly enlightening in a way only possible through the recent existence of
the public internet. Ten years ago, this conversation would never have existed. Thanks
people. Thanks.

46. Just finished reading this thread. F**k I am depressed. My GF wants to get married and I am thinking: —No Way??.

omg that's hilarious. 😆

BURN!!! can you imagine what her husband must be thinking? He really must be Whipped!! 😄

oh crap!! i meant to bold only the no. 43.

Very entertaining...

Some of these quotes, stories, I recognize from comedy acts.

Some, I notice are not from a married man but, some person making an assessment on a married man's that they know.

Reminds me of our Friday nights when my husband's friends, or cousins, or my brothers gather and eventually gripe. The stories are similar and none are married. I'm trying to chill and they want some kind of counseling from the one woman in the group.

My husband is the quiet type so, he disengage naturally but, will later tell me the real deal with the guy's stories. My husband and I are best friends so, he'll break guy code for me.

There is something deeply wrong with these numbered men who have been whining.

I suspect that in many cases someone has made a major withdrawal from the relationship account. They complain about the state of affairs but will never tell you about that major relationship debt.

I'm just going to give an example of a major withdrawal from a relationship account that no one will tell you about unless you are in the inner circle. This is from my personal knowledge and I'm going to keep it brief.

His baby's mother and fianc? get in a fight. His baby's mother breaks his fianc?'s neck... literally. She is partially disabled now. Relationship issues eventually ensue. Can he leave? Should he? Can he complain about the sex life? How's he going to reconcile family occasions with his kids, etc.

Just saying, there's some fuck situations out here... with all parties concerned.

this topic is funny to me how they make the woman seem depressed and a horrible wife. Did a guy ever seen the things they actually do to women? Like some men treat women like objects and marry them because of superficial reasons and after spending 20+ years they are ready to leave them for a "newer/younger" model. Men gain weight as well not just women so it amazes me the husbands who would call their wives fat haven't looked in the mirror and seen their own beer belly!

hmmm...what is the benefit of marriage for men?

well if they marry the woman that is "meant" for them then the benefit would be filling the divine plan that God had intended for him. Spending the rest of their lives with the woman that god designed for him is a special gift. If you treat that gift with care you will have a fullfilling life. Cliche' but "happy wife happy life" is true. Women are meant to be cherish and are delciate like flowers if you treat her with care your life won't be miserable. The other benefit is a spiritual connection rather than mudane or irrelvent reasons. Everyone where's a facade hoping to meet someone they can bare their souls to. Having a bestfriend as a life partner is one of the best rewards because it builds a solid foundation that cant be broken by anyone.

85% of people that the guy researched unfortunately didn't marry the one they was meant to be with and just settled for superficial reason or they didn't treat the woman with care. You cannot abuse a woman emotionally by cheating on her and disrespecting her calling her out her name and act clueless as to why she is making your life a living hell. But for that 15% they get what marriage is all about and they got lucky into meeting the divine plan of God and they are cherishing it.

Arielle is a downtrodden husband with needs. LMAO The woman cuts trees, what a woman

hahaha i tried to sound whiny like those dudes...

Naw my husband is off work cuz he had a surgery and can't do much now, so I'm the man for a few weeks.

I just like knowing I can take care of a house entirely. Plus i have my chain saw licence and he doesn't, due to my horticultural work.

You have to have a license to operate a chainsaw?

Massive govt over reach.

I was married for over 30 years. The first 25 ran from great to OK. After the first 25 years the ex's doppleganger started to appear. I got to live through all the nastiness and hatefulness listed here. I still have no idea what really happened.

I don't have a whole lot of compassion or empathy for people who complain about marriage. Either get divorced or quit whining. Or, don't get married in the first place! It's insane how many people get married due to social pressure rather than an actual desire for it. Stop giving in to other people so much and maybe you won't be so unhappy.

+1

something i do agree w/ you on.

don't complain. or just get the fuck out. the social pressure sounds more like people pleasing (like family pleasing and such)

Yeah, Aries and Scorp.

Nah,never have figured out what happened/changed. I suspect she just plain got tired of looking at me though.

Regarding the original post:

We must realize that only unhappily married men will post comments on a thread like that. I'm sure their complaints and opinions are valid. Keep in mind that the happily married men aren't looking for or reading those threads and they aren't posting on them.

There are probably as many happily married men as there are unhappily married men.

And what about the women who are unhappily married? I'm sure unhappily married women have just as many complaints as these men do.

I honestly think marriage kills something in a woman once the Honeymoon phase is done. Being attached to a man dulls her spirit. There are many women who come into Dunkin who can't even place their own food order without having their boyfriends or husband speak for them. Those who are by themselves are often chipper, outgoing, and assertive. Being attached to a man seems to hinder their abilities and they lose all sense of inspiration. From my observations, men drain women and children drain women.

Utter baloney. The only valid thing you said was that children drain women.
