All single women should have to read DCUM for a month before marrying

[Anonymous]

I wonder how many women would have made a different choice.

I would never have gotten married.

You too can be the permanent caretaker for another adult, one who essentially expects you to be his mother, and do all the chores and household duties without helping at all! Come on down ladies, don't be shy...

That sounds like a personal problem. You're not too smart if you take what is on DCUM as the norm. People come here to complain, all of the successfully married people don't need to post...they're happy.

I love how if a post defends men, one will pop up almost immediately for women.

Nothing will turn you off faster than reading the male posters here. I think it attracts a special subset of douche

+1. The whininess and self-importance...

Bah, men should read it, too -- then they'd probably never get married.

"Defends" men? Lol. You're delusional.

This is so true. It should be compulsory for all men considering marriage.

I don't know. I'm single and I feel weird and conflicted sometimes reading this board. On the one hand, it makes me wonder how many of the seemingly good marriages I know are actually not that great underneath. That makes me feel a bit better about being perpetually single, that I'm not the only one not in an ideal situation. It can feel a little lonely sometimes, wondering why you're solo in a world filled with couples.

On the other hand, it makes me even more annoyed when I get the "smug married" attitude. Because then I think, "b*tch, you hate your husband, but you still act like you "won" something by being married."

A lot of people are just putting up with abject misery. Especially women, because there's such social pressure for women to be married

Yeah women put up with "abject misery" because their husbands make great money and provide well for their wives and kids. Such a noble sacrifice!
