SO?  Are you two getting along well?  Any recent lulls to speak of?  When is the last time you masturbated behind her back? Was she involved in the fantasy?

Please feel obligated to respond.

My marriage with Jinfash is stressful; I think he's seeing other men.

All he does is go to work and come home with dinner - that I make - on the table, while I slave away keeping after his many children.

I'm really stressed out and I wish Jinfash would give me the attention I deserve.

There's obviously another man.

I don't have a marriage, but I do have a new roommate. I was gonna make a thread about how much he's like me, then he committed major SMH Sins.

Last night I got home from a stressful day of working for my parents and I noticed music was being blasted uber high upstairs. Naturally I went up to see my new roommate shirtless in his room listening to it. I didn't pay it much mind, even though he seemed startled I was home and turned it down a bit. But when I got into my room and settled down I started hearing the lyrics of said music. He was bumping Christian rap  :'(

Then I was watching Magnolia last night in the basement and he came down to get some food. He heard Tom Cruise's respect da cock speech and asked me if I was watching an X rated film  :-\

Don't just get married because your friends are doing it.
Don't get married out of fear of being alone.
Don't marry anyone who tolerates your own bullshit.
Don't listen to anyone who thinks a marriage success plan can be written in two sentences or less.

Marriage is only for the fat, ugly or those afraid of being alone.

If you don't want kids, get a vasectomy right now. Don't even fuck around and think you will find a woman that doesn't want kids. They all fall victim to their hormones.

I think Roissy goes way over the top with his anti-marriage rants, but the one thing that he talks about that DOES scare me about marriage is divorce (which women statistically initiate more than men) and losing half of your assets, custody of kids, etc.

Here's the thing about divorces and money: when you get married, you ALREADY give up half your assets. How many married men do you know who still spend all the money on the frivolous shit they used to when they were single? It goes on car payments, the mortgage, school fees, clothes for everybody etc etc. What changes when you get divorced? The only real downside is that you may have to move out, meaning that you have to pay your own rent in addition to the portion that goes to the wife. But it's not like everything you own is suddenly chopped in half...that happens as soon as you sign the marriage register. (or well before, if you're in a committed relationship).

So in short: divorce isn't as scary an option financially as you might think. Sure, you're fucked. But you're largely fucked already once you have all those commitments. And if you remarry, or she remarries...everything changes again.

At least you admit it. Sometimes people just have this bullish attitude like they're right, you know? But you're different and I can appreciate that.

Or they've been married and it didn't work for them.  People have different views and experiences, no need to insult them or make assumptions about them.

I'M DOOMED.  :-X

spoiler (click to show/hide)
I didn't get that it was intended as a joke thread, but I can see that it's slid into one. Here's the real talk: Marriage is great. Having kids is great. Raising them is great. It's added a depth of experience to my life that I didn't even know existed. Cormacaroni's right about the whole myth of the "you lose half" -- and if you're going into a marriage with that kind of fear, you've not found the right person yet. The only people I know who are divorcing are the ones who looked around, saw friends getting married, panicked, and decided it was time to get married or be left behind. The married friends I have only seem to become more at home with each other, and more comfortable with themselves as time goes on. Or that could just be exhaustion from raising kids. :-)

I don't have a marriage, but I do have a new roommate. I was gonna make a thread about how much he's like me, then he committed major SMH Sins.
(blubbering about minor infringements clipped)

Dude, here's a recent post from a friend of mine who is having actual issues with her roommates:
Quote
I have an awkward situation here. Twice now, weeks apart, I've gotten into the shower at my house to discover a thin, reddish worm, couple inches long, writhing its way down the shower wall. Both times I've disposed of the creature.

Clearly, someone in the house has some kind of infestation. A few horrible minutes of internet research suggests that this is roundworm, a zoonotic parasite; conceivably these things started with one or the other of the cats. I will certainly follow up on that with my girl and talk to ($name) about checking her cat out as well.

The awkward part is how I inform the household that a member has worms. This doesn't seem like the sort of thing one puts up a note about. "Dear housemates, one of us is host to nematodic parasites. Please examine your feces carefully" is just, so... well... I hate leaving notes anyway, but this would be especially awful. But it seems less awful than talking to everyone individually.

Having a monogamous, long-term relationship and raising children doesn't require a marriage though.  I mean, I can understand how it benefits you as far as tax breaks are concerned but having your commitment legally enforced is somewhat gay.  I'd guess most of the real pressure comes from parents or ministers if you're already in a happy relationship.

wrt children, they're actually not that hard to raise.  They're pretty damn hard to raise if you want both of you to have a career/education because you have to be around them 24 hours a day.  A lot of women get a college degree and then basically have to stay at home for a decade for the kid to grow up and that's giving up a lot of career opportunities.  Unless maybe if you could get the grandparents to do a significant portion of the baby-sitting.

A lot of people say they don't want kids when they're young. Not many people actually die childless though. I'm struggling to think of anyone I know of that did so, actually, that wasn't gay or mentally ill.

It's not that I don't want kids, I just don't feel emotionally prepared to have them right now.

Post by: Cormacaroni on August 19, 2009, 10:42:22 PM
what kind of process would emotionally prepare you for having kids? serious question. i don't think one exists. Everyone says that as kind of the stock excuse but I think if you ask the same people 5yrs later 'So hey, do you feel emotionally prepared for kids NOW?' the answer is usually still 'err, no'. That sure was the case with me.

If you want kids, you're ready. I wish to Christ we'd have kids 10 yrs earlier than we did, when we had more energy and didn't have any money anyway. I'm still changing nappies whereas my best friend from Ireland has kids in high school that are cooking dinner for her. She bitched about it at the time but now she's loving it. She has her freedom back when she's still young enough to do something with it AND she can do it all with the kids if she chooses.

I friend of mine who's nearly 50 doesn't want kids and an instructor at the gym and her husband won't be having kids.  They're in their 40s or so I guess.  Those are the people I know that I envy.  But yeah, most people end up with the little bastards eventually.

Vasectomies rule. Hopefully Obamacare covers their cost. In fact, you should get a 12 pack and 100 dollar bill for doing it as a bonus.

Getting snipped does more to fight global warming than any any e-douchebag vehicle or solar panel on your roof ever will.

Yes I mentioned the fact that it's basically a career.  My mom had a baby a couple years ago when I was 18, if she didn't already have two adult kids than I really don't know how she could raise it because old people get tired FAST.  The best way to raise a family I think is by having two working parents (no woman should have the torture staying at home all day long) and getting one of the grandmothers to live with you for a few years.  It is possible to not have your entire existence destroyed by having a child but it takes a lot of preparation.
