The men here on FR are a very small subset of the population. Many are willing to subject their existence to the whims of a woman. I am sure there are a select few who do not have to do that. But, in my experience, just about the only way a man remains married these days is if he is willing to hack off his testicles, and hand them to his wife so she can hang them from her rear view mirror. This is the so called “magic” you speak of. I will never be a magician. And if that means I remain unmarried, I am fine with that.
I think the happily married men here have found good women. Good women exist, and I’m sure one exists that you would be happy with. But if you just won’t believe it, you’ve sealed your fate.

I have seem some guys in long marriages around the age of 50-65 joke around that their key to a successful marriage is saying “yes dear.”
I couldn’t do that and I’m on a second marriage.
Are men just being rationale in their passivity or is that a flaw in their character? I can’t tell.
