I'm all for progressive thinking but this doesn't make any sense.

Why, you might ask? According to the New York Times, it’s often because the bride and groom can’t compromise on a vacation, or because work is taking precedence over the couple’s romance, so they plan their honeymoon separately.



Or because the bride wants to "explore her sexuality" overseas, that way it "doesn't count" and she can get her fill and have one last ride on the carousel before having to be "monogamous"

Good Lord these humans occupying this country today are full blown retarded. I can’t be any more serious about that either. They are screwed for life.

Both husband and wife are hooking up with other people on those trips.



Any man who would agree to this probably isn't the one who would easily be able to bag women for casual sex in this situation.

From the actual NYT article

quote:

That’s because Ms. O’Brien, 37, a stylist and writer, and Mr. Maclaine, 40, 


quote:

After their wedding in December 2011, William Powers, 48, and his wife, Melissa Crane Powers, a 41-year-old international development consultant, took separate honeymoons that they tacked onto post-wedding work trips. He went to Paris and she to the Dominican Republic.


It's a story about 2 couples and they're acting like it's an epidemic. People like you eat it up like fact then complain about fake news in another thread.

It's going about as well as people marrying themselves.

IE people are being absolute morons while still being the absolute fringe in society.

According to the New York Times, it’s often because the bride and groom can’t compromise on a vacation, or because work is taking precedence over the couple’s romance, so they plan their honeymoon separately. As with everything, because people seem to have feelings about it, there are two sides of this argument. A sociologist and online dating expert based in Los Angeles told the New York Times that the idea of separate honeymoons may signal the continued evolution of marriage.


Doesn’t appear to be an isolated incident, but regardless if it is or isn’t, this country has gone full blown retard, and that’s no longer up for debate. It’s a fact. If it’s weird, deviant, hedenestic, or just plain odd ball as frick, it’s in. Aaaaaand I’m out.

You're saying this based on what a worthless sociologist said with her evidence being 2 couples.

I know you aren't this stupid.

Im saying this based upon experience watching this world over the most recent decade or so compared to the forty or so years prior. It’s gotten really really odd. All I have to do is turn on the TV and see what’s being watched to see how strange this country has become. I’m not trying to build a case study to sway opinion. I just see it for what it is, and that’s strange MFers doing and embracing really strange behavior.

Writer is just following the same stupid sjw agenda by trying to change the definition of what a honeymoon is. Call it what is...a separate vacation and/or "break"

And isnt the DR full of those hedonist type places? Dude went full gay to paris as his wife went full whorewife in the DR.

Of my wife going for a jog and Jody pounding her out in the woods.

What are you doing to make sure it isnt happening??

Brah this "female sexual liberation" shite removed the "my body is sacred" mentality women/girls had. Be paranoid if your wife was up in the double digits when you got married. Cause she wont hesitate in the woods on a jog if a guy taps into it just right. If you married a true prude then you need to make sure you are giving her the attention she needs otherwise a real casanova can get in there if he works it long enough.

So many focus on their kids being their #1 priority, and forget that their spouse needs to be #1.

I don't disagree with your overall point.

I'm just saying you're using this article that barely passes as journalism as some sort of evidence to your point.

Everyday shite like this gets posted where 2 people did something or a handful of people on Twitter got outraged and this hack journalists act like it's a newsworthy story. Fake news all around.
