Is being married to a man being perpetually annoyed?

[Anonymous]

This is what my best gay friend just told me. I'm in my 20s and he says if I ever want to get married I will have to tolerate being annoyed because for some reason all men are annoying.

I wanted to hear people's thoughts on this. He said women arent as annoying but he doesn't know why. I guess I dont know whether I want to get married if that's what it will be

This is a joke, right?

With my husband for 20 years. Sometimes we annoy each other beyond belief, others we don’t. I think it could be similar no matter what genders are involved.

Yes, all men are annoying and your marriage would not last. Be gay and marry a woman. You will have no problems ever.

I could be at that 7 year itch, but yes, men are annoying. His favorite thing to do is teach our 4.5 year old son just how to push my buttons, so they're actually both annoying.

Yes. Plus you are expected to be dynamite in bed.

So is he never going to be in a relationship?

Well, to be fair he doesn’t know how annoying women are in relationships.

No he says you just have to learn to deal with it so long as they're doing what you want them to do. I dont know if I want to be perpetually annoyed though

He actually does. Both his parents got divorced and cycled though different stepparents. He said the women were okay to deal with but all the men were just annoying in some way or another. He said it's just a man thing.

This is all anecdotal. My gay best friend grew up in a family with three sisters and clearly cannot relate to women so it is lucky for everyone he is gay.

It’s the emotional differences that vary person to person. Hell, children are perpetually annoying and I would literally give my life for mine. That sacrificial attitude is much more common with women than men. Maybe that is what your bestie is alluding to.

That might be it. That and being aware of/empathetic to other people's feelings. Basically I was venting about my current boyfriend and how annoyed I was by something he did and he said every single man is annoying and I'll have to get used to it. I said I thought there must be men out there who aren't annoying and who will make a good partner and he said no, every man is annoying, and I'll have to deal with it if I want to get married.

I guess I'm not sure what to think. He's very insightful 99% of the time and I trust his judgment, even if it can be brutally honest at times

OP it really depends on you and it depends on the man.
