And yet there are so many men on FR who daily testify to their happiness in marriage and their love for their wives.
I wonder what “magic” they have that other men don’t, that they should be content, and never experienced a failure or disappointment.
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.
