Girls have never liked the nice, regular guys. Money, status, and good looks attracts them and always has. If you broke you better be handsome.

Absolutely. It’s mostly about who you pick, and not overlooking critical dealbreaker character flaws because you think you’re in love or you’ve been dating a long time. I picked a great one, I’d like to think it’s skill but there’s likely a fair amount of luck too. It’s something I plan to drill into my children. If you decide to marry, choose very very very wisely. It’s the most important choice you’ll ever make.

Sure I have. Which is why I said “ broadly speaking “. If you believe the nature of men and women is the SAME though, you are deluding yourself. Because they aren’t even remotely the same. Men have their afflictions and women theirs. Women’s need to exert control over her life by exerting Control over her husband is one of them. Men become alienated from their wives for this reason. Just like a man might have the tendency to need to have his ego stroked by some younger woman who makes him feel alive causing the wife to call bullshite . These examples aren’t always the case, but they are correct often enough to be considered Trueisms.
When I talk to couples my age - old friends- so many of them say and feel the same way. Their wives sit in judgement and scorn and want to “ remake “ the man in to a new man they can control. Obviously this causes problems.

A recent study by the American Sociological Association found that women initiate two thirds of all divorces, a staggering 69% to be exact. An even higher rate of 90% of all divorces are initiated by college-educated women.
That makes no sense. There can’t be more college educated women than women in general

But 50/50 is pretty easy to get.
My divorce really helped my finances a lot. I can plan around $1,200 per month in child support. I cannot plan around the open-ended chaos of sharing my finances with a child playing grown-up.

Yeah, we all know good feelings are just chemical reactions in the brain, what’s your point?

The 90% stat is from when both the husband and wife have a college degree. When a couple of college graduates get divorced, 90% of those divorces are initiated by the woman.

Meh, marriage isn’t that hard. Like most things in life it’s about priorities and putting the time in.
Wife and I have been married 13 years, 3 kids. We have good days and bad days but at the end of every day we know we said for life and there’s no other option. If it takes staying up to 3am to work it out and then have the make up sex then that’s what we do.
We have clearly defined roles and each person is comfortable with that. If it gets to where we aren’t we communicate about it.
I feel I’m the earner and she spends what’s mostly my income (she’s a teacher) on a bunch of stupid stuff on amazon, etsy, etc. she does
She feels I’m too intense and thinks bc I make the money I feel I’m entitled to have more of a say in it. I do.
She basically lets me do whatever I want (going to our hunting farm this am and golfing this pm). When I don’t do enough with her she tells me and we book something ASAP for the two of us. When she put on too much weight after our 3rd I told her and she’s currently losing weight.
Be honest, be yourself, and respect the other persons preferences over your own.

Has social media been blamed yet?
I find that social media exists purely to breed material jealousy among young, family women. Every mouse click reveals the proverbial greener grass. I'd add that the stigma of divorce being essentially non existent today, drives little will to make troubled marriages work.

Speaking broadly ( no pun intended) Women, as they age want CONTROL. They want to control their world and make it as small as possible so they they don’t lose control. They want control of the kids, control of the home, control of the finances, etc .
Oh sweet lord. In my experience, there is nothing women hate more than having to make decisions and in most situations will happily let a man manage most of their lives. They want somebody *in control* and if you find yourself in the opposite situation your marriage has a problem.
I make a wonderful living. My wife makes *considerably* more than me. OT baller. She hasn't had shite to do with our finances in probably 15 years. I decide what to allocate for all of her retirement accounts - she doesn't even know the log-ins. Virtually all of our decisions related to money are her asking me if she can have A, B, or C and me saying yes or no. I can't remember the last time we argued over money.
Most of this thread is people rationalizing their own fricked up situations because THAT'S JUST THE HUMAN CONDITION AS FAR AS WOMEN ARE CONCERNED SON and it really isn't.
I'm going to try to not spend the rest of the day lawling while imaginging how fricked up some of yalls marriages must be

She wants u to schedule more activities with just the two of you without her having to ask. A successful marriage is all about communication, respect, and anticipating and providing for needs before they’re vocalized. It seems like the two of you are way ahead of the curve on the first two, so congrats. It never hurts to work in a little more of that last one to make her feel special.
