Why are you married?

You should have put more options such as “I needed someone to do my laundry for me, run errands, buy & cook the groceries & tidy up my house” because if they are being honest some of them would choose that one.

@cherokeepatti I totally agree with you 😅. Was hoping they'd state the other. Oh and you forgot baby making machine 😭.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Thandeka yeah. There was someone at work in a higher position and was told by someone who knew his niece that worked there too that he was told by his father if he didn’t marry and produce an heir that he would be cut out of his will. So he married and had one daughter. He ended up getting Lou Gehrig’s disease which took his life rather quickly by the time he was 50 years old and he didn’t live long enough to receive the inheritance.

@cherokeepatti How sad. At least he had a kid perhaps the kid could have the inheritence.

Marriage can be a very raw deal for men. She can pull the plug for any reason and take your property, earnings and children (it's off to jail if you can't pay). And he'll get blamed for the breakup, too. More and more men are just saying no to marriage.

@Thandeka Nonsense. Lots of these men are simply blocked from seeing their kids by the mother. if this can happen to billionaire Kanye West, what chance does an average man have to overcome this?

@Thandeka Most men do act like dogs! Like working dogs. They go out and bust their asses all day, they stay loyal, they defend the ones they love, and then they get mistreated and forced to sleep outside.

@UnderLockDown And our western culture says men deserve this, defaulting to, "If she's throwing him out, she must've had a good reason. Shame on him!"
She was the only one that would have me.
@Thandeka She is strict with me sometimes LOl
Thandeka · 31-35, F
@nevergiveup As she should 🤭. It won't do her any good to baby you 😄
@Thandeka you have no idea LOL

Well there is no one else I want to spend my life with. I do try to make her happy, I hope I've done well. Only by having can you lose and I wanted to have her in my life. So I accept that one day there may be loss, it's a hard deal but i'll take it. The only ultimatum was from within my own heart. Other, yeah well 'other' is what makes it fun and interesting and painful and rewarding and true.
Thandeka · 31-35, F
@GerOttman Awww so sweet 🤗.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
I had nothing better to do that day. 🤔
Thandeka · 31-35, F
@Degbeme Still married? 😅
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@Thandeka Going on 48 years.
Thandeka · 31-35, F
@Degbeme I doubt your reasons now 🤭. I wouldn't be with someone I married because I had nothing better to do that long 😂.
Like debt .. its a lot harder to get out of than into. ;-)
Thandeka · 31-35, F
@Stillwaiting Marriage is like gluing your life to somebody else's. Of course it'll be hard to separate 😅.

@RogueLoner I think it's what they still do. When you reach a certain age and you're not married people start asking why 😅. How would I know when I'll met the [b]one 🤭.[/b]
