So what you're saying is don't have kids and I should be okay.

No, having kids is very rewarding for the father as well. Just know that your wife will likely be a mom first and a wife second.

I find it somewhat funny all the married men seem positive in this thread about marriage and the only negative ones are single kids.

Not me, player. I think the concept of marriage is beautiful, and I hope that with the right person it gets better every day.

Maybe I didn't phrase that right. Not saying all the single folk are anti-marriage, just all the anti-marriage folk here so far seem single (of course, one of the anti's will jump in now and say they are married.) I know you're looking for Mrs. K-dub.

Yes, and you spend inordinate amounts of time listening to her intricately describe the dream she had last night - you feigning interest to keep the peace. And get ready to be chewed out for the most unimportant and mundane things you can imagine - keeping your keys in your right pocket, draining the tuna can in the sink, placing the ketchup to the left of the other condiments. It never ends.

This happens plenty before marriage. Trust me.

actually in that case you're the one changing. before you got married you were more than happy to listen to her boring stories now that you've landed the chick you think you no longer have to give a ****

The thought pattern of many ladies is I have him now!


And the dude never changes.

He's always the same PUA, Mr. Cool, suave, sweep-her-off-her-feet guy he was when he was attempting to woo her. He never leaves his ****-stained underwear laying about, nor does he loudly and dramatically break wind or belch.

Yeah; those ******* bitches change the minute they get a ring on their finger.

Personal observation has shown me that most women who allegedly change for the worse after that ring is on the finger displayed signs long before that there may be choppy waters ahead. As young lovebirds smitten with the idea that you've actually found someone you might want to spend the rest of your life with, you're probably more likely to rationalize those signs. That goes for both men and women. But once that new car smell goes away, those signs seemingly become more prominent.

Where most marriages seem to falter is when it becomes abundantly clear that the couple just isn't a good fit and probably never was for something as long-term as marriage. And it's silly to expect your partner NOT to change. Marriage shouldn't marsupial personal growth. Just hope that you and your partner's growth helps solidify the marriage, not strain it.

No, they don't change. Too many people just don't take the time to really get to know a partner before marriage. That's the real problem.

Sadly many people marry a person expecting they (the partner) will change.
