I don't necessarily promote #GMB, but this pictogram story should be required viewing for those contemplating matrimony.

Eh...

Although funny, I think it is still fear mongering..

Yes, there is a good chance marriages will end in divorce, but what about the marriages that do work?

90% of them cheat

90% of them cheat

Idk about that. I think a significant amount of people cheat on both sides, but not 90%. If that is the case, then there would be no need to get into any type of committed relationship, let alone a marriage.

Marriage ain't never been about love and fidelity. Always a business agreement.

Marriage ain't never been about love and fidelity. Always a business agreement.

I agree. I think the business aspect is correct. Some people would say that love and fidelity is also apart of it as well.

I don't think people would get married, if they knew for certain that their spouse would step out on them, so many people go into marriage assuming they love and fidelity is a part of the agreement.

But then again, I suspect that many people don't discuss these types of things beforehand. People treat marriage like they treat love courtships in middle/high school hence the reason why many marriages fail...

For me?? I understand that no relationship is a guaranteed success. Also, I don't put infidelity past anyone I deal with, but I do believe in communication and transparency. So, I hope my lady keep it a buck and let me know if she in this ten toes down or not. I have confidence that she would and that's where faith comes into play...

The upcoming global Recession will probably cause Divorce rates to spike also. Without some kind of government intervention I don't see the trend reversing anytime soon.

Breh, the trend already reversed 35 years ago.

I already pointed out that couples who got married in the 1980s had the worst divorce rates and it's been dropping ever since. That didn't change with the 2008 recession, why would it suddenly change now?

Y'all have literally made up the trend in your head and are now just making up reasons to defend it even though it isn't even reality. Why not just admit that you personally don't want to associate with women? You can choose that on your own without desperately trying to get everyone else to join you.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Stop quoting me fakkit

You're the one obsessed with avoiding women but I'm the fakkit?

Marriage is a good thing. If you can't handle someone disagreeing with you on that on the internet, then just avert your eyes and look at the ground like you would if I confronted you in real life.

You sound like the only person trying to get people to follow you. I'm strictly speaking for myself. And I don't really care what you or other dudes do with their life.

Either use the ignore feature or quit quoting me. The choice is yours.

Hmm not really. I think what happens to most people is you meet someone, fall in love, then we do what's expected of us. Which is get engaged, get a house together, get married and have kids.

I will say my marriage was mostly good. But familiarity and getting too comfortable usually slowly erodes things. I also feel me and her grew apart in what we wanted in life. And that happens a lot as well. I'm sure most of us think back to things we used to be into that no longer excite us. It can be that way with relationships.

If I had to do it again. One thing I would do is actually discuss how I was feeling with her. A lot of times I would bite my tongue to keep the peace. A hell of a lot of resentment can build up from that.

Thinking on it more. Me and her discussed things a little after we separated. We were both people scared of the world who found one another. So in terms of attachment styles I would have been avoidant-insecure.

People, who because of usually childhood trauma feel they don't deserve love. It's only in the aftermath that I've worked on those issues. Same as her.

This is why I would say, especially to the brehs, go to therapy. Helped me deal with a lot of issues I had kept inside since childhood that bleed into your romantic relationships

That was very insightful breh, thanks.

You're right, passion and excitement fade over time, which is why you're not supposed to build your entire relationship on that as a foundation.

From my observation, couples who stick together for a long time build their marriages on a more solid foundation. It requires a lot more work, and sadly most of us were never taught how to go about it.

Once ol girl got BLACKED I knew this was some cac nightmare fantasy shyt lmao

Anyway, there’s tons of oblivious husbands that threw dating out the window once marriage, and especially kids, entered the pictured. Then they wonder why their wife got the wandering eye.

Go out, have fun, put her ankles behind her neck, and keep the peace. shyt ain’t rocket science, especially if you properly vetted your partner.
