There are happy young, black & married folks that debunk GMB everyday. You can't expect positive results when you choose to view marriage in a negative light.
Ppl kill me with this

So because some ppl r happy, we all should? But it doesn't count the same way for the unhappy maarried ppl that exist?

U can use that logic but he can't? :dry:

On the other side of the specterum theres a 6Cert6Figz6SeriesBenz dude who has lived the "lifestyle" for years and years and woke up with nothing to show for it but regret. Probably looking at a family man like your friend and wishing he/she had settled down and started a home but is now too late
And on the other other side there a family with a child they take to the cancer center every week for chemotherapy, and another family that lost their child right before the holidays. They wish their life was so simple.There's a family that works hard but can't afford a car or anything good for the kids. There's a child finding their dads fb page seeing pics of his absent father with different women and wondering why he isn't more important than some ass and boobs. He needs to count his blessings for real.

Secure the bag first, and never compromise. Love don't pay the bills. Neither is living check to check a feasible option either.

lmaooooooooooo you came up

i guess :manny: i make 50k and my wife makes 55k. we have separate bank accounts but we also share a household savings account. everything we do we do for each other and for our daughter. i hate my job and she's not too happy with hers either but outside that i'm pretty happy. we have a house, we travel, we both drive the cars we wanted, and our daughter is happy. my life is not without it's ups and down, but as long as you treat your partner like an actual partner then it'll work out if you put in the work :manny:

I saw a video of a Syrian man who was blocked from entering the us because of trumps executive order. He had three kids under the age of six, all with the same deadly disease that's treatable in the USA. The six year old actually died a week later after they were denied entry. He actually waved "bye bye" to his dad before closing his eyes forever. The video ended with the dad bawling over his two living children.

Fukk the op's dumbass friend. Western generation is trash.

I'm Hard Like D-Block Readin The Book Of Enoch...
this is why i know guap doesn't equate to happiness in a leading sense,cause you're either working so hard for it you can't spend it/sacrifice for familia or you're so rich you're a soulless automaton that has no joy cause you ain't have to strive/scrape by and never earn anything in life..eeen in my fukked up state i still realize i fukkin tried,i got hood stripes,higher intelligence,a BA,six figure friends who believe i'm a prophet/baylien,i'm an empath(as much as it hurts mostly the intuition you build is immaculate),still real enough to be an existentialist,and can read like every library is being burned down in the world,like rˁ-ḳṭy.t,/Alexandria..

taken by themselves,all empty accolades,but they make up the alkhemist formula...:manny:

True.

I have an uncle who tried the family thing for 20+ years. Kids grew up and he got divorced. Now he's 60+ dating an old ratchet to keep from being lonely.


To be honest their aren't men happy endings for men, unless you have a lot of money with a wife that lets you cheat on the low. :yeshrug:

My wife makes over 100k more than me and I make more than 100k. :ehh: Marry the right one breh's. :win:
Brehs don't get it. In this generation, you marry up and she marries talented, skilled and up. For now, she will make bank, in 20 years, I'll make millions and billions and she can ride with me and the kids to creating a vital legacy. This is a long term process with short term check points

Marriage is a business partnership. Only a stupid person would do it just for love. That is why mines gives me business minded goals.

Was talking to one of my best friends today. Met dude in 2007, we started in the IT field together making 40-50k. He was married then and I was ripping and running. We both have made good money since, he's had 2 kids, Ive been single for most part. So he's kind of lived vicariously thru me. I always send him pics of my chicks, cars and tell him stories. We both love cars. Had not saw my boy in about 5 years up until 2 weeks ago, when we hungout and had an AWESOME time. With him being married and living far away. Dude told me today....

"bruh you gave me life that day, I really needed that. . I'm not happy, i'm not living. We all were fed that be a good man, be a good family man BS, but never get married dude. If I would have known I was going to be making this type of money, I wouldve never got married. I took a major L getting married, I make 150k and I'm broke. Everything I do is for my family. Sacrifice after sacrifice, bill after bill. I make 150k and drive a compact car so my wife and kids can have it all. And they dont really appreciate me or my work and sacrifice. I have to beg my wife for sex and rarely get it. You going to be the same way if you get married."


I take this as a real wake up call. Dude always keep it real about how horrible marriage is, but today I heard what sounds like him giving up on it all. Kind of scared me str8.














I have a great girl, pretty, cooks and cleans, doesn't go out, stays home and do what I say for most part but......

GMB for Life!!!:whew:

:yeshrug:

he could always divorce her and start his life over...

you friend chose badly....

ive done it myself....you can shake back
