Social media is the easy scapegoat for any undesirable phenomenon. That said, I believe the whole of humanity is rather stupid and giving them all the ability to interweave their bad ideas produces much mass adoption of idiocy. I also believe that these systems are smarter than nearly all people, will find your hot buttons, and stoke your fire.

At any rate, Pandora isn’t going back in the box, and we must contend with this unfortunate Union of power and stupidity.

I think too many people have ridiculous expectations of marriage. Its not a movie, it takes work, there are ups and downs. There are days where I ask myself wtf? Why are we married? After some time to reflect, I realize I am lucky dude. Women are all crazy, some are just better managing the crazy than others.....

Most of my friends are happy. Obviously with every relationship there are good days and bad. With that being said, I got divorced after 20 years and then remarried. BIG mistake!!

It has been known for a long time that, done correctly, a healthy marriage and the building of a family can be among the most rewarding and fulfilling of all human experiences.

However, done poorly it can also be Hell on Earth.

33 years... I am happy with my marriage.

I don't ask my friends about their marriages.

When wives do their duty for their husband and children, most men are happily married. Society has corrupted many women today. Society tells women that they must focus on themselves. When this happens these women do not focus on their husbands and children.

I’ve seen it both ways. Sometimes a woman is self-centered and ruins a marriage with a wonderful man. More often I see men who are self-centered and do whatever they want to do, and then expect their woman to deliver in bed, often after an evening in which they hardly talked to their wife and didn’t help out with the family.

This is why I may never get married. I hear nothing but bitching and moaning from my married friends. Marriage seems like a death sentence.

Married for 30 years. Love the old gal dearly. But if something happened to her I would never get married again.

I would enjoy the final years doing exactly what I want, when I want without compromise.

I was married one time, bitch just maxed out credit cards and was the most lazy person alive. Never cooked, cleaned, only washed her clothes for work and would leave shite everywhere and not pick it up. Marriage didn’t last long to say the least, and don’t plan on doing it again. There are so many that are really just nuts out there. It’s unbelievable really.

None that I know of. We're late 40's. We went through a 4-5 year span where some of our friends were miserable, and they're all divorced now. A couple have re-married. That mid to late 30's stage seems rough for many marriages, anecdotally speaking. That was our only rough patch as well, though we weren't miserable. Just so busy with kids we didn't have much time for each other and resentment and frustration set in at times.

Wife and I are at the best place we've been in since the newlywed phase, minus all the newlywed sex.

I think that after a certain period of time you learn to ignore minor irritants and the boundaries are few but well established.

See, there’s just no way you couldn’t have known this was a poor mate before marriage.

I feel like a marriage should automatically end when the kids leave. You have done your duty, procreated, raised them to completion, and sent them into the world. If you choose to remarry that person after that it’s on you.

Most professional marriage counselors I've come across were divorced. Go figure.
