Yeah, and society lets you say that about men. Imagine if a man publicly said that about a woman in 2024? You’d have an army of “me too” grievance counselors on the scene in 5 minutes and that man would be publicly shamed on tik tok, nationally. |
No it isn’t. The saying is basic. You want to marry my daughter? The one thing to do is make sure she’s happy. What makes her happy? A good life partner who’s respectful and caring. Who runs most of life? Used to be women, needs to be both husband and wife. Is that true today? In some marriages but not the majority. If the person who drives >90% of the households and family’s functioning is unhappy, and their unhappy about something big & basic (absentee husband or father, abuse, conman no income, addict spouse, zero understanding or listening or emotional support), the whole family is in big trouble. |
My husband has no issues with me fully controlling everything. |
Running a family is like running a company.
Operations, forecasting, HR, strategy, scheduling & planning, finance, healthcare, training & education, taxes, etc. If you make the working wife the CEO, COO and CFO and all you do is wire your paycheck and pay your kids in the heads a few times a week….. Happy wife, happy life. Look inward boys! |
This is as far from the fruth as is possible. Society doesn't prioritize men. Men from an early age learn that society treats them as disposable and if they want to be valued they need to produce. The ones that produce get a chance to form families where they are expected to produce and provide. The ones that don't produce.. well.... those are invisible to both women and society at large. |
Happy wife, happy life at one point in time was correct. However, today, at least among folks my generation (we are both 28 married 3 years) we both seek to make each other happy. I keep him happy as best as I can and he does the same for me as well. |
Careful there.... a lot of folks in this board paid too dollar for their misandrist education. They'll fight tooth and nail against anything that challenges that worldview |
A cheating man has spent the family's resources (time, energy, probably money) elsewhere. Why keep him around? A cheating woman still has groceries to buy/put up/cook, kids to raise, housework to do, and if her man had been reliably responsible for those things, she wouldn't have cheated. |
💯 |
So we agree. Both men and women are emotional. |
If you're spouse is unhappy all of the time, it will be hard to have a happy life.
Also: You're only as happy as your least happy child. Trite cliches but have some truth in there |
Married women die sooner than married men and single men or single women, there is a reason for this! |
It is not about being emotional or emotive
It is not about making money. It’s about treating each other well, working as a team, and looking out for each other. All whilst accomplishing your family’s goals and values you set. |
No, men are sh*t and 50% of the population knows that for a fact. |
Goodness the men on this thread are so pouty. |
