Would you toss a 10yr marriage into the bushes if...

The bolded is the argument I use on gay couples adopting. Not that they can't do it, but they can't act like a boy's connection with a father is far more powerful than having two mommies.

I agree, but when we talk about adoption we basically have to pick an evil. Let kids rot in foster care, or adopt them out to loving couples...

I choose adopting out to couples. Yes, the child is at a disadvantage, but trust me....foster care is absolutely horrible. Especially when the kid is being bounced around from family to family. The kids in my school district who are the most emotionally and mentally disturbed are wards of the state.

Life is about sacrifices. What sacrifices equal marriage being hard?

The marriage or coming together as one should help to ease the burden of life not make it worse.

coming as one.
this is marriage.

..You are no longer in love, you give no affection or want it from your spouse, you argue all the time, cheat ... oh and you got kids. If not, what is your criteria for tossing a marriage to the bushes?

No such thing as; no longer in love. Love is an unconditional commitment to another person. That is; romance no longer being appealing.

I take "'til death do we part", seriously.

I'm not married, because; I'm not mature enough to actually go through with that--amongst other things.

But, I'd say; if she was actually, terminally, threatening my safety/life.

Naw just like single moms do their kids huge disadvantages, weekend dads are no better.

I wouldnt stay married to a woman who turned into a miserable b1tch 24/7...

Sometimes staying together is actually worse for the kids. They don't need to see all that arguing in a loveless marriage.

My burden has been eased. Why does my happy marriage make you so upset though...
If you can't find a woman who will submit to you and love you, I'm really sorry for that, but don't try to project your unhappiness on me brother.

Where did you get the idea that I was upset at your happy marriage?

I questioned the cliche that Marriage is hard work.

I don't need a woman to submit to me and honestly I have no idea what that means.

Why isn't marriage suppose to be easy? I hate when people say this.

Life is hard as is, why would you want to add something else to it that requires more work and stress.

This!!!!!

Notice that it's mainly women who say marriage is supposed to be tough.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Marriage?

no I wouldn't be married in 2012

 

[Beegio]

Do everything in my power to fix it. Marriage isn't supposed to be easy. Plus, I refuse to raise my children without their father in the same house

you better be a white woman then

Underrated post

This is why if you must get married, do so later in life. I always at people getting married in their 20's or even at 18-19 You're gonna eventually resent your partner like "I wasted my prime on your ass!?"

But why marry a girl if you're getting her when she's out of her prime. Why buy the cow when other dudes got fresher, tastier milk for free.

That's like purposefully buying a used car when you could easily afford a new one. And keeping that used car for life.
