Darth Mewling: mesmer242: Wow, that was horrible to read. And I don't just say that as someone who's getting married in two weeks.

I have no tolerance for people who whine "this doesn't work! I can't do this!" when it's really just that they've put zero effort into it, and haven't made it a priority at all.

You say that until you've done everything you can, and your partner is still whiney, pissed off all the time and never EVER wants to have sex.

You know, I offered to put in our wedding vows that I promise to have sex with my dude at least once a week for the rest of our lives until no longer physically possible, but he didn't think that'd be appropriate for a church wedding in front of our conservative families.

My lack of work spiel was directed at the writer, not the husband.

Though that Ian guy needs to put out or shut up.

Epossumondas: busy chillin': pnjunction

That cartoon is perfect. i was just talking to a coworker lady and asked her about her 4th of July plans. All of sudden she is telling me about some friends daughter that just got into pharmacy school...I'll stop...about 10 more useless details before she finally says she is going to a lake in Nebraska. Sheesh.


Gah! That's the way my mother and my female relatives all talk. I am too riddled with ADD to follow along, and I know I get that glazed over look in my eyes.

And my hubby has no idea how lucky he is that I'm not a chatterbox, considering I come from a looong line of them.

I sometimes think, with a chill, that I'll marry a woman like my dear old mum. Someone who just never shuts up.

Mnemia: I admit it's anecdotal, and maybe you're right. Maybe it's just a lot more unbecoming to hear a 47 year-old mother with young kids whine about her sex life and justify her cheating than it is a young single person.

It sure as hell is unbecoming. At that age she sure ought to know better. But we've always had stupid selfish people. No generation has cornered the market on being a complete asshole.

Mr Guy: Schagnasty: She's probably a biatch.

Son, I believe we can go way past "probably". Personally, I'm going with man-hating lesbian that won't admit it, constantly seeking the next dick to satisfy that vagina shaped hole in her sanity, never pleased because while each thrust brings her closer to satisfaction she never gets the fulfillment from a man she gets from her shrill harpy fan club who lavish her with me-too praise and affection yet lack the necessary hardware to give her the good deep dicking she'd get just as well from a fisher price toy or produce aisle.

My way's shorter, but yeah.

Far fewer than 50% of marriages end in divorce. Why do they keep spewing that ridiculous falsehood? Don't believe me? Here are some links.

Dude, if I said "Slumming in the miners" it would have been way, way worse.

Epossumondas: And my hubby has no idea how lucky he is that I'm not a chatterbox, considering I come from a looong line of them.

Your hubby is very lucky to have zombie tinkerbell for a daughter. So win/win, really.

Yes, eharmony, the bastian of non-religious facts...

LamOtter: People have been cheating since people have been farking. Some of them feel a need to justify it. Others just want to bone and can't help themselves!

At least the latter is honest and doesn't produce tedious whiny articles like this one.

bradkanus: So this woman by choice sat at home for years instead of going out a living the moments of life when her husband wasn't around and now it's his fault.

Oh yeah - her daddy "raged." Daddy issues - male issues. Men don't give her enough, but she does nothing to go out and get it.

Wait until she's 55 and one of her girly parts has cancer and she's alone. Flat ass farking alone. No guy having casual sex with a 55 year-old is going to sit around with woman while her hair falls out and she barfs on command. She pissed away the only guy that would do that for her.

On your death bed it's not the best sex you had that you remember - it's the people. This biatch deserves neither.

Nothing to add.

It just needed to be repeated.

PascalsGhost: wh0mprat: PJ_the_Barbarian: wh0mprat: Poohba: This is why it's much better to meet and date foreigners. Most women from Eastern Europe or Asia still have values such as loyalty, and wouldn't pull this kind of childish shiat.

And it's easier to exploit them economically.

But if enough people get into that business, demand will go up and they'll be able to command higher wages and better conditions, and the whole game's up.

/what? It works in sweatshops.

I'm always kind of appalled when I see a Dateline story on 'marriage tours' of Russia or East Graboslavia or wherever. Because those dudes are always fat. Without exception. And they go on about how American women are all biatchy princesses but that Graboslavian girls are all very sweet and loyal and love you for who you are. They arent' looking for wives, they're looking for daughters they can bone.

I look at them and think "Huh. Couldn't compete in the First World, so they're slumming in the minors".

You're just jealous you aren't banging a hot young Graboslavian wench.

I suffer from a rare form of elitism. I think of anybody whose great grandparents weren't born in this country as immigrants, and I couldn't shame my family by brining home one of 'those people'.

I gotta say, being a dude rocks.

When dudes cheat, it's because of our "overpowering" sexual drives and biology.

When chicks cheat, it's because they're opportunistic whore-bags.

paygun: No generation has cornered the market on being a complete asshole.

She sounds just like my mother and the exact same situation with my parents. If only they would divorce, they farking hate each other Why stay together anymore to put up with each others hatred and abuse? Oh yeah, because they hold a grudge against each other and it is never their fault, they will not admit that anything is they are ever wrong about anything and blame each other for every possible problem.

paygun: It sure as hell is unbecoming. At that age she sure ought to know better. But we've always had stupid selfish people. No generation has cornered the market on being a complete asshole.

I don't disagree. But I do think that the Boomers are a pretty uniquely narcissistic and self-centered generation, historically.

Basically she a cheating slut. But it's really not her fault, and here are 2000+ words to convince you.

I love this 'I dont usually even like men' thing.. yes well, you shouldnt be surprised your husband spends 20 weeks a year banging bar pickups across the nation if you unilaterally decided to keep your precious diamond encrusted vagina to yourself should you?

At 41 my wife decided "she didn't want to be married anymore". She spent the next year acting like a 5 year old. Finally I said to hell with it and moved out.

Women do it to themselves and they wonder why they can't meet a good man

Mnemia: I don't disagree. But I do think that the Boomers are a pretty uniquely narcissistic and self-centered generation, historically.

I think that has something to do with your perspective. Wait till someone says the same about your generation, and they will, and they'll be wrong too.

The_Gallant_Gallstone: When dudes cheat, it's because of our "overpowering" sexual drives and biology.

You must be new here. I don't really understand why, but for a group of people who pride themselves on being assholes, snarky, counter culture, anti-religious establishment, rebellious, pro-freedom, pro-drugs, etc etc, Fark rips the unfaithful a NEW one. There is absolutely NO mercy here for those who contemplate marital infidelity.

Takes all kinds.

I guess you didn't get my pic (it showed up on my page).

I was just trash talking the Greatest Generation.... that's all.

Old people are lame (and constantly complaining).

zabadu: Yes, eharmony, the bastian of non-religious facts...

He's actually correct. Also, divorces are not distributed very uniformly at all. In reality, the same people repeatedly get divorced and account for a disproportionate share of the statistics. That probably is more of a reflection on those people than anything else.

She look like Gilbert Godfrey with a weave.

Nukular Winter: FTA: Do you see? Given my staggering working mother's to-do list, I cannot take on yet another arduous home- and self-improvement project, that of rekindling our romance.

I hope you die alone, you selfish coontbag.

But there was enough time to hook up with someone else ?

Maybe the issue was you and your priorities.

If you wanted to end your marriage end it but do not claim some fictitious moral high ground while doing so.

douchebaggettes, that is all.

Soymilk: Babies with Rabies: Facts of life, loser.

"Oh, poor me - somehow everything around me went crazy and I accidentally slipped and fell on some random stranger's penis thirty or forty times. I'm not a whore - somehow this is society's fault. Probably men's."

Whore.

Wow, you're bitter.

It doesn't mean I'm wrong. I'm just sick and tired of people farking their own lives up and blaming it on everyone else.

She's a whore, and that's all there is to it. It's not her husband's fault for working so hard to buy her stuff. It's not her daddy's fault for being angry with her mother. It's not society's fault for not praising her like a goddess.

It's her own fault for falling on her back and spreading her legs for random men when she claims to be monogamous.

What's worse - it's her fault compounded for being unwilling to give up her extra man when that could have saved her marriage.

Ummon: I had a very hot GF 10 years younger than myself in under 2 weeks. and I'm not particularly attractive. the wife is still her own miserable self

While I agree that maybe the numbers are off, I still would not take eharmony's word for it. Lousy source.

bradkanus: On your death bed it's not the best sex you had that you remember - it's the people.

I'd rather enjoy all of my life than have one meaningful moment on my deathbed.

I don't need to get married. I love every minute of my life. I have lots of sex with multiple partners. Outside of my job, no one in the world can tell me where to be or what to do. I spend my weekends relaxing and partying instead of cleaning up poop and falling asleep at 9:30.

Want to get married? Knock yourself out. I don't envy you. Don't pity me for being a bachelor. I don't need it.

The_Gallant_Gallstone: Old people are lame (and constantly complaining).

They stop complaining if you'll ever get off their damn lawn!

there their theyre: She sounds just like my mother and the exact same situation with my parents.

Oh yeah, because they hold a grudge against each other and it is never their fault, they will not admit that anything is they are ever wrong about anything and blame each other for every possible problem.

Oh good lord, I am sorry for you to have to live with that.

I have actually counseled an unhappy friend to divorce her husband. They despised each other, had not had sex for a decade, and constantly fought in front of the kids. I'm sure the "Marriage is a SACRED COMMITMENT OMG Think of the Children" crowd would hurl stones at me, but it's true. My friend and her equally miserable husband had gotten into an ongoing competition to see which one can torment the other more while remaining faithfully married. Thank God they got a divorce before one of them picked up a knife or a packet of poison.

The_Gallant_Gallstone: Old people are lame

Dude, that's why they use "walkers".

The_Gallant_Gallstone: I gotta say, being a dude rocks.

When dudes cheat, it's because of our "overpowering" sexual drives and biology.

When chicks cheat, it's because they're opportunistic whore-bags.

I don't know many people that would subscribe to that logic. Whenever I've discussed the topic of cheating with people, men and women, there seems to be a general consensus that regardless of the gender of the cheater, you're pretty much a scumbag if you do it.

Mr Guy: You must be new here.

There is absolutely NO mercy here for those who contemplate marital infidelity.

I don't think that any of that stuff would imply approval for cheating. It's the lying and dishonesty that I have a problem with, personally. If you want to have an open marriage, or be a swinger, or whatever, go for it - as long as you're married to someone who is cool with that. I'm all for that kind of freedom if people want to do that with like-minded people.

My fave was the one that left claiming I was holding her back and then did nothing.

I have been a great deal happier in my life since that relationship ended, (After the 8 months of crippling depression that is)

I wish her ex all the happiness in the world, and that her next boyfriend/husband does to her what she did to him.

Ummon: I had a very hot GF 10 years younger than myself in under 2 weeks. and I'm not particularly attractive. the wife is still her own miserable self

What he neglects to mention is that he's 94. :D

Sounds like a post-modern feminist essay. Filled with rosy language but lacking any substance.

zabadu: While I agree that maybe the numbers are off, I still would not take eharmony's word for it. Lousy source.

So find a better one. There are plenty of legitimate research articles showing exactly the same thing.

She'll probably end up alone and bitter with that attitude.

Hope the husband picks up some nice strange in the next couple of years and then settles down with a chick 10 to 20 years his junior.

/browsers is screwing up, this might have gotten posted twice.

Clearly the issue here isn't that marriage is "outdated" its that the author of the article is bitter.

shes bitter because shes been forced to think that she is a failure because she sets some standard for herself that she can't achieve, so naturally, she will hate the thought of marriage, because thinking of marriage makes her think of how she messed up in life.

However, had things gone a little differently, say for example, she tried to go out on the road with her 'musician husband' every now and then, tried to initiate more time with him when he wasn't on the road, etc. this could, and probably would be, a very different article.

Theres nothing wrong with wanting more, but because you screwed up, which really is subjective, she hates the thought of it. Quite frankly its absurd and wrong to just blame "the insitution of marriage" on her own issues.
