We married because it was expected of us by family. And it felt like the right thing to do, but ultimately it was for everyone else not us. We were in love and committed to each other already, the marriage ceremony didn’t change any of that. But then again, I didn’t want my kids to be bastards. I did my homework and fully vetted my bride. It wasn’t hard, we both came from traditional families. She had every quality I had set in my mental application. No retards or mongoloids in the family, no known history of genetic defects. Wasn’t a whore, solid work ethic, good morals, light colored eyes, wasn’t stupid, would stand up to me and anyone else, wanted a family, and she was pretty.
More to the point, when I took the responsibility of being a husband and later a father, that meant being head of the household. It’s an important title. It meant their safety and well being fell on my shoulders. For my kids that was a lifetime commitment. For my wife I always figured she sacrificed the ability to go have a career and provide for herself because the deal was that was MY job, hers was to keep house and tend the kids. Even if she split now, I’d feel morally obligated to give her half what we have. Was a team effort to get where we are.

Some guys know how to be a real husband and father and make the effort required. They are the ones that can identify and attract a strong smart woman. Nothing is lamer than hearing some bozo whining about paying child support or getting divorced from a lazy slut. Man up or remain single and use birth control.

These jabronis dont want a smart, strong woman.
And vice versa. Hence the divorce rate. Too many guys marry their 1st steady lay and make little effort to actually be there for the family they accidentally produced. I don't know a single divorced guy that doesn't blame his wife even if caught in adultery.

I married up. After 26 years, I can highly recommend it. I can also say being a good spouse goes a long way toward having a good spouse.
F'in A Cotton.....F'in A.
Yup.
I was 20, wife was 18 when we met. 20+ years later I can’t imagine life without her.
The only reason you’re still married is because your wife has the patience of Job.
In all likely hood, the reason he's still married is that on a scale of 1-10, he's at least 2 points better than his wife and she knows it. If for one minute she thought she could trade up she'd leave him.
Nothing against his wife in particular, that's just the hypergamous, monkey-branching nature of women.

No offense taken.
I feel sorry for you if that is your cynical belief. Wife and I have both had plenty of opportunity to “trade up” over the years. But love and commitment still mean something to some people. But to be fair, I am an alpha and have not reneged on my obligations.
Edit to add she also knows if she did I’d cut his throat in front of her too. So there’s that.
I've got twin 14 year old girls. There mom left when they were 3. I've raised them almost single handed since they were 4. They go to see their mom every other weekend (one doesn't go there for the most part). There mom has three older children, all adults now; one is even a baby momma. In the scheme of things with their mom my daughters are 3rd after her older kids and her grand kids. Their mom has never bought a pair of shoes, even when I paid her child support several years after the girls lived with me.
Many women feel no responsibility to home, husband or children. Just reality.

Why were you paying their mom child support for several years after the two girls were living with you?
Females are now raised to be career women - the vast majority weren't raised to be a wife .
MSM brainwashed females 24/7/365 that they were being kept down by settling for a housewife life .
Make laws that give the female the house/kids/alimoney :)/child support/dog/suv/++ and they take it more often than not .
I never bought in to it so I have no horror stories of the big D & I don't mean dallas .
Most married folks I know pretend to be happy but aren't
Finally someone who's paying attention.
Gender roles have been obliterated. Women want to play at being a man, and too many cuck men are willing to abdicate their role.
You my friend, are in the right area.
Women are hypergamous, meaning they marry up. On average, they look for a man who's income is at least 40% higher then their own. So as women become more career oriented and make more money, there's fewer men who make 140%+ of their income. Additionally they want a man who's at least 6 feet tall (13% of U.S. men), athletic body (10% of men), College degree (25% of men) who isn't a white knighting, blue pill simp (20% of U.S. men)
Very few men meet all these criteria, and since modern women brainwashed Modern women into believing they don't need to settle, women are now sharing the few Chad's and Tyrone's out there. The latest studies indicate around 12% of single men are having 80% of the sex. There's more male virgins under 30 than ever, but no corresponding increase in female virginity.
Of course if you're one of the 12% spinning, on average, 6 plates, why would you settle down and get married to anything less than your ideal woman?
That's great for Miss 9 or 10, but for all the Miss 5 to 8 they are deluded into thinking they can marry one of they are banging on a slow Tuesday night. Unfortunately for them, they don't qualify, and every year past the age of 20 they looks deteriorate. They live the party life for too long, and their chances for marriage pass them by.
A new study shows that once a woman who's never married hits 30, he chances of ever getting married are 20%, these drop to 5% at 35 and by age 40 there's only a 2.5% chance she will ever get married.
It's so bad, women are literally dying from "Broken Heart Syndrome" and the number of these deaths is increasing each year.
Women are not men, and they shouldn't try to be men. It doesn't work, and we are seeing the results of this failed experiment.

If you were single later in life would you even think about it… most kids these days are waiting until they are nearly 30 or so, and divorce is so ugly money wise I don’t know if it’s worth it anymore.
Hard talking to kids about this kind of stuff if you haven’t thought about it in 30 plus years.
If they weren't so devoid of values and judgment, they wouldn't have to worry about divorce.

LOL, that's one way to set a solid frame with her.
I try not to be too cynical, just realistic.
You're way too humble good sir. In this day and age way too many men under estimate their value, and too many women over estimate theirs.
Best of luck to you and your family. You've made it past 20, so providing she's past her mid-life crisis, the data is on your side for the long run.

How are women in my age bracket like parking spots at a mall?
