[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lolll at the men responding here who are completely NOT getting it. In the vast, vast majority of marriages with children: a) your "I don't get it, when I was single I did all my own laundry and just ate snacks at the gym!" (lol) straight up does not apply[/quote]

But it DOES apply when you're divorced and once again single...WHICH IS WHAT THIS THREAD IS ABOUT.

The whole idea of what a woman contributes to the household/marriage is COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC.[/quote]

No it's not, because the premise is that the very reason men jump right back into relationships and women don't is because on balance, being in the first relationship made the man's life much easier, and the woman's life much harder.  I hear you that you think because they're not explicitly looking for a workhorse this second time around, you think it's different, but you'd better believe he still expects her to cook and clean and "keep herself up" if the relationship becomes long term, and just because they might not have kids together so she won't have to do [i]as much[/i] work in aggregate as DW1 doesn't mean she's not going to be doing a greater share of labor in the relationship than X/DH.[/quote]

Yes this, a thousand times this.[/quote]

If marriage makes women's lives much harder, they're pretty fscking stupid for agreeing to it in the first place.

Men do not want a workhorse/household lackey. They don't need to get married for that. It is MUCH cheaper to hire a maid once a month than to get married. Stop doing all that other household bullshit and he won't care, so long as the sex keeps coming.[/quote]
