Confession: I f^cking love this board! |
Counterpoint: Half of those marriages will end in divorce, resulting in a lot of broken families. |
I assume this is an issue for you because you're a woman...? |
I miss sex with you, too. |
Yes never envy those families. Most of the ones I thought were happy ended up in divorce. I still can't believe the one guy that got the AP pregnant. I would never have thought he was a cheating creep. At age 50 their family is destroyed and so are their finances. Realistically I believe the number of very happy marriages is small. Sad but true. |
Would you consider a widower with three kids? ![]() |
Love my kids but absolutely hate parenting. |
I think this is how most parents feel |
Counterpoint: they still have children and meanwhile her womb is as barren and desolate as the Sahara. |
I'm in a marriage where I still love the man, but I hate the sex (it's not that great) and I absolutely hate his job. He works nights and weekends.
At home. So I can't even masturbate after the kids go to sleep. |
Counterpoint: she may find the man of her dreams, with kids, tomorrow and live happily ever after. |
Your situation doesn’t seem sustainable. You need to get off! |
That's like the baby/toddler years where wife was stay-at-home & uninterested in sex. Furtive action in the bathroom/shower was the only "me time." |
Counterpoint: she has a 50% chance of later divorcing the "man of her dreams" rather than "living happily ever after". |
NP. Bottom line: it’s a coin flip in the air either way. The best thing you can control OP is your self-love, stop pretending to be happy and truly work harder at finding that happiness alone and not tied up in a role as a partner. If you do that, you’ll be surprised at the new options that become available to you. |
