I have been reading this thread and thinking the same thing. I have been married for 35 years, was a stay at home mom when kids were young. I did not fall for the feminist garbage. I am reading all these horror stories and I know they are mostly true because these things have happened to people we know. There really are still good women out there, my daughters are good women and happily married to great men.
I understand the idea of avoiding a relationship because of the odds but how sad it is for me to read this.
Decent women have a hard time finding decent men as well, so there must be few of both.
We have had an adventure together, of course not always smooth, of course worked on by both of us, but the journey has been more than worth it. Without her, life would be miserable, I know she feels the same. Love for your spouse is very rich, very deep, and truly wonderful.
I read this thread, and it makes me really sad that a lot of others have had totally opposite experiences.
