100% agree. Too many men spend weekends at the camp and tailgating with friends at the expense of the family and the wife.
Thankfully my HOA banned camps.

Yeah, I actually think a lot of the stuff complained about in this thread is understandable for the woman in the situation to be funny about once kids are in the picture.
Like, it would be weird to NOT catch hell for long weekends away or going to the bar when there's kids involved.
Too much time together is not the best thing either. Imo the key is finding a good amount of quality time together as a family.
Sometimes doing your own thing routinely helps you to enjoy the quality family time together even more, as opposed to never doing anything alone and never enjoying always being together.

But some of you guys sound like real pieces of shite to be married to also.
FTR, I was with a woman for 30 years and married for 26 years and have three beautiful children. And I am in the 15 % of men who filed. So, please take your nasty comments elsewhere. Also get back to me after you have been in a monogamous relationship for 30 years.
My comments were not about my ex, who has amazing old school qualities especially as a homemaker and parent, but of SINGLE women. You know, the TOPIC we are discussing before you inexplicably rushed in to insult me.

Single women do 2 things on an evolutionary biological perspective that most men are unaware of or unable to face. First, women always have their Spidey senses activated for "the better deal". Which is why men need to make sure they are the best deal. And you can't always be the best deal because you aren't the best deal. Somebody is always better looking, has more resources, is more personable, etc.
Secondly, single women will almost always monkey branch"; they have one hand on this vine and another hand on one over there, there is always a backup plan or a needy male orbiter. I'm not criticizing women for this fact, just acknowledging the biological reality. When single and dating, most men sense or experience this, and after the woman dumps them they can't understand how she could have moved on so fast. Of course she moved on, she's a woman. Men are the ones who blow their brains out and jump off bridges a la Anthony Bourdain. Women just move on. Which I think, means that in some way, men and women love differently. Love means different things to us,

My wife is my best friend. I was pretty happy and content being single and having FWB's when I met her. But she enhanced my life in ways that I wasn't aware existed. Can't imagine doing life without her.

This is one of those things that I wish wasn’t true, and that I wish I hadn’t had to learn the hard way.

Stay single. Get a FWB with her own money and obligations so that she doesn't have time to be up in your business all the time. I had one when I was single. Didn't want to get married, didn't want a boyfriend. She just wanted to hang out, have a few drinks, smash, then go our own ways a few times a month.

Yeah but that's the only way to learn it. That's the thing that breaks weak men like Anthony Bourdain. The realization that there is this huge gap between how he loves her and how she loves him. Men are kind of childlike in their devotion to romantic Safe World Theory and women are much more honest with themselves about their feelings and motivations. Which is why men spin out of control, take up the bottle and put guns in their mouths. The realization that they never were loved for who they are, as they had always imagined. And how stupidly naive it is of men to expect it. Men are loved for how they make women feel about themselves, the status they infer on the woman, the security they make her feel, the resources they offer-all those things and more in totality. It's a different bargain that men and women make. Men should understand that going in.
Advantage women. Hence why for better or worse, single men will often stay single.

Plus all the feminine traits we love are gone,- odds are that she will see your pile of clothes that need to be folded and just walk by or melt down if you ask her to clean her dishes or tidy up. It’s this weird female solipsism where they think everything is about them and their emotional journey and to be an asset to a man is somehow selling out.The man ends up feeling like a human prop that the woman can work her shite out on. And then of course she never ever would accept any personal accountability for any of this but would just project it all back onto the man like a total dickhead. It’s bizarre what has happened to American women . And no surprise why any man with options would pass.
Why are most murders, rapes, violent crimes, and abuse committed by men?

It's disturbing that you are continuing this charade.

Well, thank you for asking. It is a common hazard for men, since at least say, the dawn of time, for a woman to use her irresistible feminine charms and undeniable sexuality in a way, that makes the man feel weak. Often she will touch his pee pee in a way that makes him think that he must never let this woman get away, and he throws caution to the wind. In these moments, it is common for a man who struggles in The Eternal Conflict of Two Heads, to hand over what is valuable to him, say his time or his money or his emotional investment, only to see that this has a higher benefit for her, than it has for him. At this point he will feel shame that he was unable to think clearly and curses his genitalia for the ruin it has caused him.
Frequently, this results in a man being separated from 50% or more of his assets. And he may wander the earth in despair for a period of years or decades, while she is on to man number three or four. You may not be aware as a woman, but it's a thing that our fathers explain to us when we are young and that we discuss among ourselves. Do not let the little head think for the big head, it's a trap. A simple phrase that very few men successfully are able to implement because God gave us this fatal flaw.
If you have any other questions, I am happy to be of service, madam.

Agreed, my sweet.
Men are indeed, a veritable cornucopia of dysfunction, criminality and horrific flaws. I myself am horribly flawed, look vaguely threatening and raise my voice in the masculine manner upon occasion. But had you read the thread not from anger but from intellectual curiosity, and applied the critical thinking that has thus far evaded you, you would realize that it is possible to BOTH explain and understand the nature of men AND women. Which in both cases is pretty hard to swallow. If facts about only your particular sex annoy you, you may not be at the required level to engage in said conversations and may just want to go straight to the angry feminist board where blue hair and neck tats supersede any real wisdom about the human condition.
