“My wife of three years left me a few months ago. The pain only seems to increase as time goes on :( after She left, and during one of my “pleading sessions” she said she regarded the marriage as “an experiment” that didn’t work out for her. She seemed flabbergasted when I scolded her for using such a cold term. She said it in two occasions, thereafter. These women REALLY know how to hurt a guy :(”
Because that’s what marriage is to most women, an experiment. They love the attention form the wedding and reception, but then when the work starts they dip out.
I once came across a study which noted an inverse correlation between cost of wedding versus marriage longevity.
I mentioned it to my wife, who didn't understand why that would be so. I explained that a woman who just MUST have a fantasy-princess wedding, is not going to be satisfied for long with any real-world husband. (We had a very modest wedding)
