Does a genuinely nice guy ever end up marrying a mean lady?

If so, why?
reflectingmonkey · 51-55, M
everyone is sometimes very nice, even Ted Bundy or Hitler were nice sometimes, and sometimes someone falls in love with that nice side hoping that with lots of love their good side will win and take over and the bad side will dissapear. In reality, we all have good aspects and bad aspects and they are all part of us. My rule about this is dont base a decision to be with someone or not on how good their good side is, everyone's good side is good, but rather on how bad their bad side is.

@reflectingmonkey I appreciate that but I also want to stress. that you might not see the signs of that 'bad side' until a few years later, when, in their mind, 'a certain criteria is met'

@atlantic59 yes, i should have said "decision to stay" rather than "be" but the question is about marrying someone bad which implies usually that they know each other enough but i guess we should always be ready to reevaluate the pertinence of a relationship if new information pops up.

@reflectingmonkey Yes, an ongoing vigilance. Unless we are stabbed in our sleep.

Yes. It's all about luck. Because nice pretty girls don't marry poor or average looking guys. Money is important for them.

@atlantic59 I am sorry that you are a pathetic gambler.

@SW-User Thanks. It's not so bad lately, as venues have stopped. I also bought a house.

@atlantic59 wow! So you save alot of money lol

You should have purchased stocks.
My late husband, the best of the nice guys, explained his first marriage with, "My brain got cross-wired with my gonads."

@Mamapolo2016 that was a good explanation. As good as most of us men can give

@atlantic59 personally, I'd rather be with a dumb person who was nice

Typically desperation in both parties. One wants to finally get the girl, one wants to settle, so they both overlook red flags.
atlantic59 · 61-69, M
@raysam363 Oh, how true that is! In a rush of short-sighted 'love', ...,,,
Can put up with anything, that's the main reason.

@xichuwangwai Superman! Hey, wanna sell a few rocks of your Kryptonite
@atlantic59 Too bad my English is too bad, I barely know Superman, so I'll just take the rocks and the Kryptonite as a compliment.
atlantic59 · 61-69, M
@xichuwangwai you have the 'super-power' by being able to put with anything

And likewise woman marry Wife beaters every day..
Sadly, yes they do... and they don't always see their wife's behaviour as abuse, either.

I try to be nice but not let myself be bullied. Therefore, I'm single.
atlantic59 · 61-69, M
Of course! Happens all the time. I could cite examples but I'd start talking too much and crying in an unmanly way

@WendyLopez43 Relationships and their relation to one's own personality and upbringing has such a wide divide; and then, throw in tens of other things...
WendyLopez43 · 26-30, F
@atlantic59 oh, I think it was also because they both didn't want kids.
atlantic59 · 61-69, M
@WendyLopez43 Yes, there is often an easy answer
Poppies · 61-69, F
Yes. I wish I knew why, thinking of someone not-so-nice who married into my family.
