Is marriage like prostitution?

I've heard someone say this once. I'd like to hear your thoughts.

No it is worse. There is continuous emotional coercion disguised as love. They see you at your most naked and vulnerable and they can choose to use that against you if they wish to do so and whenever they may do so. They can convince you to change your entire life for them only to toss it away when they decide to do so. I know of no other profession that abuses ones dignity to that extend

@ianon ... That's not love ...
@ozgirl512 hence the use of the word disguised
That’s not the intention though. @ianon
@Spoiledbrat or maybe it is. How can you know for a certainty how calculated one may be .
Marriage is a legal combining of assets and companionship. @ianon

@ianon true... Definitely not what you need in your life ...
@Spoiledbrat thanks for giving me a constitutional description of what day to day life with someone may be. I wish I knew that before I got married
Your experience is not everyone’s. That’s not to say marriage easy because it’s not. @ianon
@Spoiledbrat no . And I never said it is. If you assumed so it sounds like a personal fault to me
