Why do a lot of married men seem so miserable?

Do you know how long into the marriage they started cheating? I was texting one of my homeboys who got married a couple years ago and just randomly brought up how our former colleague went to HS with Brent Faiyaz. Out of nowhere he said he would love to smash her lol. He didn't show that type of interest in her before he got married. She is cute tho, 7/10 latina.
they all cheated before the marriage

I went to a destination wedding in PR
building with the groom and he gave me that ol "happy wife, happy life" bullshyt
Thought "I give them 2 years"
lo and behold
exactly 2 years later
dude stepped out on his wife with some IG BBL mutant
his wife's one of them corp VP alpha boss types (think Vanessa Williams in Soul Food)
emasculated him and that's all she wrote

Did she make more money than him?

Wives hold that ass hostage

Stop doing things they were doing before they got the ring


Most of my boys cheat on their girls

The homie J fukked up the most. Cheated with a woman at work, got caught, got suspended and eventually fired from his county job.

I keep on hearing dudes say that. But it sounds like their wives were more into the being married than into marrying them as a person. It’s that Chris Rock joke about how women act when they don’t marry a man they truly wanted.

I think part of the problem with both genders is that many people have never been in a great relationship or just settle with anybody that likes them. So they have never experienced what it's like being with someone that genuinely fukks with them and/or someone they genuinely fukk with. So they can't see the signs that their partner is just checking a box and wanting to get married to get married.

My favorite line from people in those types of relationships is "we get along great because we are both comfortable in silence and not having to talk to each other all that much". Including some women who love talking 24/7. It's their excuse for not getting along all that well with their partners or not having shyt to talk about.

Facts. Also I think a lot of women resent that as they get older and options dwindle they feel like they have to chose between the best looking man they can get but he’s financially unstable and/or non-monogamous or a financially stable yet less physically attractive man than what they’ve had before. A lot of the brehs who claim their girl switched up on them after they got married probably fall in the latter category.

Women buy into the concept of milestones and "life events" much more than men. Same reason why birthdays and anniversaries are such a big thing for women.

I think a lot of men don't really understand how much women see things like turning 30 (or 40) and getting married, as major life events to plan around

There is definitely a societal and historical context that leads to this, but it's also just habitual shyt that gets reinforced socially and through media as well - the traditional roles that have been established for us that transcend most cultures

TLDR, men don't really have a timeframe or adhere to the concepts of "milestones" like women have had to, traditionally

That's why the chick you married sometimes gets a bit weird and different after the wedding. You may not have kids yet, you may not share a place yet, but somehow the dynamic is just "different". For a lot of men, this is just the next logical step. For a lot of women, this changes EVERYTHING and you can't simply continue as you did before this...

In my experience, healthy communication and possibly therapy are the keys to getting on the same page early and dismantling the external pressures that will impact your personal relationship as husband and wife

The timelines and expectations are killing people's happiness. Life isn't a checklist where if you check off all these boxes then you win. Not everyone should get married. Not everyone should have kids. And that's OK. Comparison is the thief of joy.
lotta truth in this post. envy is a sin for a reason. im ok with people making money, unless its to the detriment of society, of course.

removing the algorithm helped me. its pretty designed to exploit your inner FOMO. you scroll and see all the fun you arent having. it wasnt always like this. the thought of putting photos of your child and home and current location online in the 90s would've been unimaginable lol. stranger danger turned into our same parents getting old and falling prey to internet scams.

I 100 percent believe this and it's why I'm single now.

It dawned on me a couple of years ago that I've fukked more women that I did not like than women who I actually truly felt and I'd imagine it's the same for a lot of guys. The difference between me and a lot of people is that I'm refusing to settle but there's plenty of men and women who will choose companionship over being alone at any cost. A lot of people get into situationships or have FWB with the opposite sex and end up settling with them because there's nothing else available to them and if you're not truly in love with your partner and vice versa, you're going to be miserable. That's just what it is.

I know what it looks like when both me and the women I'm dealing with truly fukk with one another and I'm not willing to settle for anything less.
