Probably moreover if the parents of the boy and the parents of the girl both impressed upon both parties the absolute necessity of negotiation and compromise and acceptance, perhaps everyone wouldn't be coming to the table believing that they're there to get theirs, or bust. Not enough compromise and acceptance that sometimes things aren't gonna be completely fair, and sometimes one will not be able to get what they want.

Same - my dad talked to me twice to make sure - said he didn’t want me to end up in a miserable marriage like his and mom lol- that was 11 years ago and they just celebrated their 50th

Props for the longevity but damn, my poor dad.

Also, i have never told my wife that he talked to me / i figure that it’s useless information that will be tossed around in a fight

Good post. At my Grandmas funeral, my uncle that I hadn’t seen in years told me “don’t ever let anyone try to tell you to get married”. That stuck with me for a long time. Then I got married. Then I got divorced


I hear you.
Both of my parents warned me of the dangers.
Financial, child support, child custody, alimony etc.
Drilled into my head that it's not to be entered into lightly.

I have friends who married young and ended up divorced and had no idea about the court system and how men usually get screwed.
They were most bitter about the fact that their dads/uncles didn't at least give them a heads up.

I would say both sons and daughters should be way more educated by their parents on the importance of picking a partner. You are right in that the status quo seems to be just blithely encouraging any marriage.

The more you stand back and look at our cultural assumptions about marriage and men in general the more you realize how hopelessly feminized the culture is . And FTR, I have had that talk with my son and will continue to.

One of the best things we did when we were first married, is move to another State, where we had no one. Getting away from family, esp controlling families, and learning to rely on each other, is really important in building a great bond. Families sometime try to control you, and tell you what kind of relationship you should have, leaving you pulled in so many directions, you never get to have YOUR relationship…..Don’t let these external forces interfere, or that relationship is done….

I didn’t have a son but if I had I’d have told him the biggest lesson I learned...if you halfway have your shite together you can afford to be choosy. And if you don’t you should wait till you do

We did that and it was hard as hell but we learned to depend on ourselves —- we just recently moved back to my hometown (meant to read: near my family) and holy shite, the intense drama ….we are now having “boundaries” conversations with the fam- oodles of not fun

Obviously true

A high percentage of boys don't even have a father at home. They have a mother who denigrates the man who is biologically half of the boy.

The kids then go to schools with almost all female teachers. Setting aside the girl power and toxic masculinity narratives young men are often totally deprived of any meaningful male role models

Because of a few reasons.
1. The father himself was raised by a single mother. Despite what society wants to believe, most dads want to father their sons but are heavily restricted by our great legal system. This results in fathers that really don’t know how to be fathers and the vicious cycle continues. I feel for this type of father when it comes to marital issues because he never had his father to teach him.
2. Fathers are scared of retribution from their ex-wife/children’s mother, if they do speak out. These women are out for what benefits them the most regardless of the damage done to the child.
3.Many people are just plain stupid today.

These are just a few of my observations and I’m a happily married man that has just seen some terrible situations.
