I don't know about the world at large, but my husband, I can tell you his issues. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26692909 Living with him is like living with a child most of the time. He never holds a job long and when he does make it past 6 months he starts self sabotaging it. I tried to be a homemaker as that role fulfills me completely but he won't allow it for long. He will bitch and complain that we need more money and when I've heard enough and go back to work he quits his job within a few weeks every time. Whether I am working or not I am still the one who cleans, cooks, takes care of him, of anything needed done, and takes care of our pets. He will spend all his time playing games, getting f*d up, porn, and sleeping. He never picks up after himself or does anything I ask him to. If he does it may be months later after asking and then it is done begrudgingly. Sex? Maybe once every 2-3 months if lucky. I'm sure his hand gets more sex than I do He has been like this since the day we met and when I was in my younger days that was fine but I grew up. We are now in our mid 30's and nothing much has changed. He lies to me and everyone else plus he steals from places he works and lies to me about that too. Then he gets caught and fired and places the blame on me as to why there is no money. I can tell you with 100% truthfulness that if the world don't end and our species continues on then the next time I marry it will be with an older man who is mature. In fact I would urge all women who are dating these man boys to please reconsider. Take it from me and learn from my mistakes that it will only bring you pain in the future. Marry someone who can and will take care of themselves not some boy who is only leaving one mamma for another. Why did you marry him? I don't understand the logic of some women. A friend of mine chases a guy who treats her like crap, admits he's sleeping around. Meanwhile another guy (her former obsession) is great to her and she "lost interest" I don't understand.... I married for love or what I thought was love while young then I grew up and he didn't as I had hoped he would. the question is - are you happy? happy with this "love", this man, this life you two have created? if the answer is no - or the percentage is 60 no/40 yes - Then my question to you is: who are you living for? Are you living for his happiness to the exclusion of yours? are you making his life more important than yours? if you are still in love - and not happy - then you need to find a way to make yourself happy inside your marriage - with or WITHOUT him. Sounds as if he has it quite cushy like a lot of men who find a woman to mommy them. No! A big resounding no and I haven't been happy in years. If it were a percentage I'd say 10/90 being the 10% happy. I have stayed in the marriage because I was serious about my vows when we wed and where I come form you don't leave a marriage just unless someone cheats on you or hits you. But over the years the love has left because quite frankly it's hard to be in love and feel intimate towards someone who acts like a child. I think in part I have stayed with him for his happiness because his whole family except for a sister who lives on the other side of the US is deceased. He literally has no one and has burned many bridges. I think that my fear of what will become of him has kept me here this long. I am leaving but it does suck that someone whom I care about with such charisma and intelligence should waste it away on nothing. |

It's freaking bizarre. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32895948 Interesting position . . . do parents coddle boys more than girls? i don't think its about coddling. its about the fear that parents live under these days of kids being kidnapped etc. so they don't let them go anywhere by themselves until theyre 15 - can you imagine? having to be at home or with an parent escort inside most of your life because of the fear of stupid men taking their kids! this is whats happend. so now kids stay at home, eat, play video games, watch tv and let their brains turn to mush.... i blame the illegal immigrants...on that front |

BTW, even as a woman I think men get a horrible deal in the case of divorce. My brother had to pay out $5,000 a month when his wife dumped him. Then as a self employed his business went up and down until after 10 years it was dead. She still hauled him into court, threatened with jail by the judge, and he did sell his house. But a man loses EVERYTHING, his children in the morning, most of his income..if I were a man I would lose my mind with that kind of pressure. When I left my husband I didn't want his paltry contribution or his rages because the thread of money is a tie that sometimes begs for trouble to the child. That was the case with me and did get full custody, and he relinquished it willingly because he didn't want the responsibility which served me for the first time in the decade we were together. I still love men. Just not the crazy ones who share billing with crazy women. |

I am afraid that is where we are headed. . . .many women are alone . . . I hope they can succeed without the support of most men. . . . men through our gov aND powers that be have been demonized.they are told we are all equal,so if they are told this all the time it makes them start to believe in it.then they give up because that coupled with how the women are given the leg up in damn near everything now'because we are all equal"so men stop caring.real men have been beaten down through the courts for atleast 30 years now. the lil boy back then grew up watching how beaten down their dad was by the system that they dare not tread where pops treaded before.the ones that do get shown real quick just how evil women are at their core.A lion has a bigger heart than a woman... Interesting thoughts . . . you think boys were not allowed to compete on a level ground ??? over the last 30 years? no they have been sucking hind tit to all women and non whites.notice how everyone is included in everything except the white male?yet we are all equal.why do you think that is?it's simple,they need a handy cap,they do this through school and propaganda. another part to it is this,back in the 80's the foundation was stripped from the homes"the father" in his place the single mother was promoted,they turned the father into dead beat dads.they promoted a single mother that can do no wrong.so alot of lil boys grew up 1 with out the foundation,2 with a mother that was to busy leaping from man to man rather than making a family and allowing the father to do his role"teach,instill morals,work ethic" while the mothers role is to back up what father does and also nurture.so instead since mommy could'nt fill dads shoes the gov ran school system,t.v,movies,and the thugs down the street raised them.... I don't disagree with your observations; however, I have found young men from stable two parent families with successful traditional fathers who are NOT Launching either. . . .how does one explain that ????

It means they are living in their parent's basement (or something like the basement) instead of living on their own and are not employed or are under employed because of a lack of motivation or fear of failure . . . they may or may not have a girlfriend and have no ambition or desire to get married and start a family of their own . . . etc. . . . the ones that are like that are in most cases raised in a father-less home...... what are you talking about? this country is full of excellent parents. you act as if we are a nation of dopers. you act like from the 60s on there was a hippie movement where people thought it cool to just get high maaaan, and the world will fix itself everythings so beautiful, and then these people had kids and raised them like that or did drugs around them. and then harder drugs came like herion, then cocaine, the crack, then meth, then bathsalts, you act like this is some vicious cycle. /sarcasm |
