[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now that I’m in my 40s I have the opposite take.

I think marriage and kids is mostly a scam to convince women to provide unpaid labor.

My life would have been better staying single and keeping my high earning job. I’ve sacrificed my body, sanity, career and income for kids and a husband. Not worth it.

When women actually earn money and can live independently they don’t want to get married. [/quote]

I am a man and I agree with you. As a man though I also see marriage is a bad deal for us as well. I was married to a woman who did nothing for the the relationship. She didn't help raise the kids. She didn't help keep the house cleaned..she didn't help with cooking. She didn't want to take the kids to their activities. She didn't want to go to parents teachers conferences. She didn't want to take the kids to the doctors....I did all. I know it's rare for men to do it all but there are more and more of us out there in this situation.

True but it's interesting why you chose someone lazy verses someone who was a harder worker. Did you know you actively chose that? Was the marriage just based on looks? Because there are a lot of women who are very hard workers and still single. Women are employed at greater rates and do more childcare and eldercare. So why did you choose this type of woman?[/quote]
