Is it me or do a lot of married men just don’t like their families?

Or you can just have a girlfriend…

This topic is about MARRIED men not men with girlfriends.

Unless your talking about a sidechick, which I wouldn’t define as a “Girlfriend”

I made the topic it isn’t either or you can have a long term girlfriend and not get married

But if ya’ll live together you gotta take Common Law into the equation

It's not healthy. A lot of men would do well to have a side chick to take some of that stress up off them. Lack of strange is the number one cause of heart disease and hypertension in America.

What single man gives a shyt about being invited to be around somebody’s kids?

It further proves this marriage shyt is nothing more than a cult these days

 

[Reality]

You can be divorced and free or you can be married & miserable. I’m not saying its easy at ALL but what i’m saying is that as a man, life is going to be hard no matter what. At the very least you shod have a few nonnegotiable expectations that you are willing to stand on regardless of anything. Being stuck in a marriage where you aren’t loved or appreciated to the point where your wife won’t even have sex with you is crazy. A divorce that runs your pockets can still open you up to opportunities to start over. It’ll be hard but there is a pathway towards happiness

This is coming from someone who filed for a divorce and had to pay for that liberation. Trust me the freedom to start over and redefine my own happiness was preferable to being chained to an ungrateful woman

Honestly, I’d rather bring it up repeatedly and then just stop and get a side chick if things don’t get better. Some women react better to competition than communication, unfortunately. If my wife wants to relegate herself to roommate status with me, that’s fine. She can notice the drop in effort to get things to change, and react accordingly. At least you have a slightly higher chance of a fix. Worst case is the same side chick or not in a lot of states…she gets half your assets and maybe even half of any inheritance. I’d much rather play roommate and ride that until things come to a head of the prenup wasn’t air tight.

Miss the point completely. Promotions are all done informally: family BBQs, day trips, camping etc. Unless the boss really really really likes you and trusts you, it’s highly unlikely you will get an invite if you’re still a bachelor.

Lol im 32 and single, got a promotion in my current job after only working for a year and now make 350-450k a year.

shyt dont matter. Anyone with sense knows married men cheat a ton. If anything a bachelor(ette) going to have more time to put into work because he doesnt have as many family related obligations to tend to

This is going to change with young Millennials and Gen Z.

They do NOT CARE about any of that.

You’re already seeing it with the Boomer vs Millennials/Gen Z WFH Cold War that is currently taking place.

Isnt P Diddy where Jay is basically? And Dr Dre who recently shyt on marriage after his divorce?

Youre spreading propoganda - and this is coming from somebody who values marriage and sees it as ideal. Th e practical reality is that most women these days arent worth marrying

Although this may be true for some, this isnt it.


Men want to feel appreciated. most dudes dont feel appreciated in marriages.

Biggest reason i decided to break it off with a recent chick who at one pt i considered marriage material

I couldnt get any leeway ddue to how fastidious and nitpicky she was. The lack of respect and appreciation did the relationship in and i peaced her

The status depends on the man. Usually women are more social and being married get you invited more than just being single for example, me as a doctor I still get invite a lot of high-value stuff even though I’m single.

What kinda doctor are you breh. Dope

This^^^^

At the end of the day results matter. If you can put numbers on the board then you will move upwards. Two of the top people in my overall division are single and childless. I asked one about how he showed value to the company and his availability by not having a family was one of the things he mentioned. Yes in that super top tier of C-Suite those things come into play but that’s not the greater populace.

I’m not even against marriage but doing it just to check a box for perception……….silly
