No. We made laws long ago where you couldn't beat your SO.

No they didn’t. They just didn’t have social media to talk about it.

At 28 she did. Sex became almost non existent, even after the Dutch oven.

I guess these days we look for happiness and camaraderie and not just being able to "function". If you're not happy, what's the fricking point of marriage?

Never forget: women have an expiration date.

Yep. And love doesn’t just happen. It takes work. You have to choose to love your spouse and be willing to do the work.

I hope you're not married.

FYI...if you are, your wife hates you.

Not going to lie, I'm sitting here reading this thread as a 23 year old about to graduate college and all I can think is "Is all of this stuff really worth it?"

Because honestly, 95% of the stuff in this thread just sounds like a pain to me.

Damn this thread is depressing. My parents and grandparents stayed together and were happy. My granny was the type of woman that took care of everyone, just a great woman. They traveled together for years even when they got old till she passed. I guess the trick is marrying a woman who really values being a wife and mother and being submissive to her husband...but ive never been married so dunno

It’s not about being submissive but being respectful of each other feelings and putting each other before themselves. Pride is a big pull to swallow for most people men and women alike.

You laugh. I don’t because it wasn’t fricking funny dealing with a woman who couldn’t focus on jack shite.

I never understand what this is supposed to mean. I'm going on 18 years of marriage and I don't recall any of it feeling like "work."

Not that it's been all rainbows throughout, but work? It's felt pretty breezy to me.

Yes, with the right person it is. But it requires a lot of work and sacrifice.

It's not worth it

That's why most men say they would never get married again

Then you’re lucky.

Work is when you go through bad financial situations, loss of a home due to flooding or some other catastrophic event. Losing a child or easing a child addicted to drugs or numerous things that stress a marriage.

I’m happy things have worked out for you and I wish you many more happy years of marriage.

It seems like the day to day things of raising kids/dealing with a SO is a pain.
...but somehow, the overall experience is a positive.

The math just doesn't add up for me.
