Yep, not trying to pile on that dude who is clearly unhappy, but it seems like a coping measure to say, "well if I'm unhappy and hate my wife, at least no other man in the world is happy with their wives because they're all as unhappy as me" Unfortunately, that's not true. That attitude also makes an easy excuse to stay with your wife since you think you can't do better, and then you get even more unhappy. Leave, be single, be picky as frick, and you'll eventually find someone better....or don't find anyone at all. But the idea of staying with a wife that makes you THAT unhappy is wild, and it's just flat out incorrect to think they must all be like that just because the one I married is like that

I have two small children with her that I cant make myself leave. It has nothing to do with thinking I cant do better, and it has everythign to do with wanting and needing to be in my girls' lives every day.

And i didnt say that ALL marriages are like that, I said that a majority of marriages are like that. which anecdotally seems pretty accurate since there are more than double upvotes than downvotes on my original post.

if you're truly in a happy marriage that is mutually beneficial, then I am happy for you. but you are the exception.

feminism has absolutely destroyed the concept of marriage in modern western culture.
