What is the brutal truth about life after marriage?

Convivial · 26-30, F
Women think the guy will change while men think the woman won't
The truth is that some people end up disappointed in their expectations of marriage and for some their spouse ends up more of an enemy than a friend and more a cause of grief than joy; it's all a matter of factors of respect and consideration and kindness and priorities, if a person and their partner don't agree on things and don't respect and have consideration for each other then it becomes a hostile relationship and hellish instead of happy. Happy marriages are ones where people love each other and have respect and consideration for their partner.. otherwise things will be ugly..

I would live with someone before marrying. My ex hardly ever worked or helped in the house once we married. Then when we did separate he had the cheek to say he was a "dependent" and got most of the little we had.

It isn't really just your life anymore.

A woman makes a big deal out of her wedding bc she thinks it'll be her happiest day ever.

A man will look forward to the marriage being a fact bc he looks forward to spending the rest of his life with his chosen one.

I read that somewhere, and it makes sense.
It takes two to make a marriage work and sing. Do not take the other for granted. Remember why you fell in love. Seek solutions to conflicts. Do not seek to win. Be respectful. Communicate. Love.if you cannot fix ir or improve it and you are unhappy, get out.
Apparently some think life after marriage means life after a divorce.
Hi initially saw it has life after you have become married. Could you perhaps read the comments below, and see how this may be reflected.
Those who enter in All Earnest continue leading the game of life together coz they are aware of each other completely.

Rest, struggle with their share of illusions separately, though still In the game of life.

Since there are two of you, there are twice the opportunities for job loss, sickness, and other problems, and you suffer with your spouse. On the positive side, you no longer suffer alone.

Differing options on child raising, money, getting along with the inlaws, your spouse's friends, choices on where you want to live, etc.

I was at a bachelor party in college and someone asked the only married guy what it was like. He said you still have to jack off a lot. There was a stunned silence.

That you suddenly feel like having a conjoined twin who gets involved in everything and that you have lost your individuality.

Everything costs and the pric£ for your release is having to start your new fr££ life a lot poorer than when you went into it.

What's the brutal truth to sleeping alone every night?

What's the brutal truth to casual sex?

This reminds me of an old joke. "How do you get your girlfriend to quit wanting sex all the time? You marry her!"

You share everything. Privacy is now a myth.
Bleak · 36-40, F
@GuyWithOpinions Not really.
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
@Bleak i guess it depends on the relationship. But with my ex there was no privacy. We did everything together or not at all. Being apart from eachother would causes paranoia. We had alot of shit going on though.

Marriage is where love and lust goes to die
(Not all. But far to often)

Awfully lonely after they are gone. 😔

Life is the brutal truth in any event.

Don’t marry someone who expects marriage is 50 50 slot or has firm expectations of what they do and they other person should do. A good relationship is both people putting in everything you’ve got and flexibility. Some days it’s 50-50. Some days its 70-30, some days it’s 30-70.
