I remember when i was just 14 my dad used to drill all this crazy nonsense into my head. It was quite annoying to be honest but as i grow older i start looking at the sh!t like

"See that woman you love the most. THe one whom you adore and cant ever say no to; Dont you EVER and i repeat EVER marry her. Date her, have your fun, get it out of your system but at some point you need to snap the fukk out of it and move on. Dont you EVER marry her. Period. I know you wont listen but you'll remember this conversation. Trust me ".

20 years later i still dont quite get this sh!t. I mean... i get it in the sense that you dont wanna put yourself in a situation where your love and infatuation with a woman blinds you from making good/smart decisions... but.... I'm a lover . Id cash out my 401K for my booboo if she asked. Would marry her in a heartbeat

When I got married, my great grandma told me that we should never go to bed angry at each other.

Marry a skinny girl cause they only get bigger after marriage and kids

Happy wife, happy life was the one advice anyone seemed to have. So true though

 

[iFightSeagullsForBread]

Don't get married.

 

[no.]

Tbh my mother and father gave me somewhat different advice but one thing they always both said was "value yourself, value your time, all the more if you meet someone who doesn't seem to"

My uncle dead ass told me this

Sadly this has been misconstrued as "your wife is always right". And dudes wonder why they get no respect at home.

My dad has life lessons for days.... The 3 most simple but meaningful were

(Around age 16 when he really noticed how I would settle for B's but never strive for A's) "Be the hardest worker in the room. Never be lazy"
(Around age 20 when he noticed I would spend my money on Js) "Take some time to learn about financial security"
(Ages 21-25 when I started getting letting gfs take over my life) "Don't get too serious with these women right now. Now is the time for YOU to be selfish. Get your life in order. Settle down later. Women are immature right now"

He was right

• Don't get married before you're 30
• Marry a woman younger than you cause she has to respect you. (... )

"No white girls!"

Motto been drilled into me from day 1.

Dont ever marry a girl who makes more than you, she'll disrespect and hate you for the rest of your married life

Never fall in love with the woman you're going to marry, she'll control you.

Have fun in your 20s with these western whores but try marry a traditional and honourable girl from Gondar(my dad's ancestors land) in your 30s .


I can't believe its gonna be the 5th anniversary if my fathers passing next month
