Marriage is not worth it. It’s not worth the financial sacrifices, the lost sexual opportunities, and the lack of freedom. All in all, it’s a ball and chain — of little benefit to any man interested in pursuing happiness and well-being. This is the view that we’ve encountered from many young men of late.

“Unlike our immigration program, most countries have standards, at least for whites or Christians.”
Spot on. It’s a project, potentially daunting. But, if one wants marriage and children, with a spouse from another country, it’s a consideration.
Fresh off the “press”:

From the above^: “DNA testing should be mandatory.” 100000000%! If I ever have kids, they WILL have their DNA tested before I acknowledge them, legally or otherwise.
Oh, I once had that.
21 years later, she left.
Now I have that special sense of losing everything and trying to start over. She even has half of my military retirement. For life.
So I’m fortunate I had my good times, but now the bad times are VERY deep and here to stay, so it seems.
I can honestly say, knowing it both ways, if I had to do it all over, I wouldn’t.
I know some of you might think, there’s probably something wrong with that fella, he’s just not saying, but...
You’d be wrong. I thought things were solid, both my AND her family says she just wigged out, and the lives of the kids were ruined forever.
But I do understand that life isn’t fair.
Same story except my work pension. Right down to the 21 years. I’m thankful for my 2 children. Life goes on teaching me things. Stay well.
I agree with Tuffydoodle about perhaps your wife needing a doctor (in the form of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy). Ask her to read Ageless by Suzanne Somers.
“Unless and until the cesspit of abortion/divorce/custody/support is resolved equitably for men there will continue to be an erosion of male commitment to marriage.”
Not to mention Uncle Sam taking the place of dad by giving welfare to unwed mothers. I’ve read where there are many instances of the baby daddy saying he lives somewhere else yet stays with mom and baby(ies) while the taxpayer subsidizes housing and benefits for the poor, single mother.
Lol. What you read is true. I visit several hundred residences a day. I can assure you it happens. A lot.
Got divorced anyway.
What was the downside?
Whatever happened to whither thou goest, hmmm?
“Man up and marry those sluts!”
In the USA, sure. Outside of it? Not so much. That’s nice.
Look at the muffin tops on the wommenz.
Ah. Thanks.
That being said, I adopted my ex’s daughter from a previous.
Good decision on my part, this weekend past she presented me with my first grandchild!
...or based on the book of Oprah, with mutual submission and you go, g'rllll and Eat Pray Love, because empowerment?
Worse than that, welfare requires the man to be out of the home.
LOL - I was twinking you. A good looking nephew, that’s great. You are lucky. It’s a good thing. He is waiting for the right one.
At first, on this thread, all I could think was that there were a lot of unhappy guys here on FR. After reading more of the thread - I’m stunned. There are some people in very unhappy situations. It’s unimaginable - to quote the news about Fukishama - to be in a situation with a withholding cold spouse. How does one cope in a situation such as that? That is so wrong.
“...or based on the book of Oprah, with mutual submission and you go, g’rllll and Eat Pray Love, because empowerment?”
Bingo! The propaganda is a >HUGE< part of it and most women are followers. Want to have a traditional marriage? Get a wife that won’t watch hours of “Oprah”, “Real Housewives of...” and “Sex and the City”.
When they learn how to make mama happy, they will be happy. Happy wife, happy life. That philosophy got me through 34 happy years.
It’s hard to debate with someone who picks and chooses Bible verses, out of context, to argue. That said, you need to read Ephesians 5:22-33 on how to live a marriage, for men and women.
Proverbs 31:10 seems to be appropriate on this thread: A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
