Question for the married men
Posted on 3/27/24 at 7:23 am
Posted on 3/27/24 at 7:23 am
Is it better to have a good marriage and few male friends or a bad marriage and many friends? I am in the first category, and I must admit I do miss hanging out with the guys sometimes. Thoughts?

Congrats on coming out of the closet

A good marriage and she doesn't let you hang out with the guys?

The older you get the less you really want to be around a lot of people. So I’d go with a good marriage and few friends.

Both and a side piece

I have no idea what the answer to this question is, but I can tell you part of having a good marriage is still being allowed to hang out with your friends. Whether it’s a lot or a few is irrelevant.
My wife has her friends. I have my friends.

Why get married if it’s second to your friends? You may need to grow up a bit

Aim for the middle ground - have a decent marriage and a bunch of a-hole friends.

Kids are going to push you in to the first category. Might as well get used to it baw.

I enjoy my wife, my friends, and my alone time. my wife is the same.

Definitely #1. The friends will eventually fade when they get wives and families but a good marriage to a good wife is hard to find these days

If you can’t have both then you may not be in a good marriage.

Do you mean none? Or a few?
If it’s none, a good marriage isn’t the problem. It’s you.
If it’s a few and you want more, the marriage isn’t the problem. It’s you.
95% of men’s problems can be solved by fixing themselves.
To more specifically answer your question: I prefer few friends to many. I’m not fond of chit chat and socializing. I’d rather build a couple of friendships into something meaningful. My wife has zero impact on my ability to do that.

I don't get the question, why are your friends limited based on your marriage?

Good marriage, few friends by a MILE. Especially if you've got kids

I have a fantastic marriage and other than a couple of lifelong friends I see every couple of years and talk to maybe a couple of times a year I don't have, need nor want any friends. I know a pile of folks...I do things with them from time to time like go fishing or play poker...but we are not really friends. I have enough family I have to associate with to do so with people I don't have to associate with. I am perfectly content completely alone. I prefer hunting and fishing alone, my 2 other hobbies consist of woodworking, running a side business and picking a guitar...all of them can be done best all by yourself. Friends are people and people are a pain in the arse....

What do you mean only a few male friends? Just a few that you hang out with regularly or just a few in general? Is she keeping you from hanging out with the guys?
My close friends and myself are pretty scattered but we have a group chat and bull shite daily. We also have make a 1 or 2 week out of state hunt where we all meet up and do as much partying as we do hunting. Distance from your friends is part of growing old but that doesn't mean you have to lose contact with them.

Great marriage and a few good, dependable friends. Hanging out with friends is always good but as you get older, priorities shift. More time is needed to focus on kids and such. I get away with the guys for the Florida game every year. First time we did we mostly talked about our kids.

You get old enough and ‘the guys’ come and go. They get busy in their marriage, kids, etc. Make your marriage the best it can be any enjoy the few times you get together with old friends.
DONT be that 40 year old single guy pestering all your married buddies still living by the bros before hoes mentality. That becomes a sad, lonely life.

It’s better to do what you need to do to maintain friendships and have a quality life and let your wife deal with it as much as female psychology allows. Remembering always, that very few women are ever really happy for more than a few hours at a time. Either way my friend, she will do whatever she has to to rule your universe and make it as small and manageable as she can. Your job is not to let her, be a man and assert your masculinity, LEAD , and that includes maintaining friendships.
Remember the cruel irony of becoming a woman’s bitch; not only will you lose respect for yourself, but she will lose both respect and attraction. And then you are basically a soiboi.
