Some mistakes that I made during my marriage. Learn from them brehs.
1. If pleasing your wife requires you to be miserable or do something you don't like, do not do it. It is not worth. You will hear people, especially married people, tell you that it's all about sacrifice, but it's more significant than that. The first time you bend, she will continue to bend you back until you either snap (and become her bytch) or bounce back really hard (in which will cause drama in your household). Be firm with a woman. Tell her "yes" or "no". No maybes, we will see. If you are undecided, you tell her either "I will give you an answer on such and such date" or "I will give you an answer once I have all of the facts".
2. Don't listen to other married people, especially men. Most of them are the biggest simps. The reason being is that because they live with their wives, they've been domesticated. Let me explain. Imagine having to argue with a woman everyday, over simple stuff or stuff you shouldn't have to argue about, like your freedom. Women don't lose arguments. They can go for days or months. These men eventually get tired of arguing and give in to the woman's demands. They become more concerned with keeping the peace than being genuinely happy. Their happiness is now whenever their wife isn't complaining. So the advice they would give you may be beneficial in keeping your wife from complaining, but they can't give you advice on how to maintain a balance or happiness in a relationship. And those who can, they're either divorced or found a woman who submitted. Sad to say, you'll see this is domestic violence relationships. Women with violent husbands are less likely to start arguments and fight for what they want.
3. Keep her consistent. Sex, cooking, cleaning, looking good, keeping a job... none of this should stop. Remind your woman that you don't provide security, you provide incentive. Security means "no matter what", incentive means "only if". I'll only remain with you if you continue to sex me, cook, clean, look good, and stay employed. My love, time, and dedication is not a right, it is a privilege. Gotta keep these women on their toes. Dudes that provide security are the ones that get screwed. THink about it like this. If you were a teacher, you don't give all of your students an A right? They have to earn that A. If the students knew that they would get an A regardless, why would they bother to do the work or show up to class for that matter? Let that be your mindset with these women. Everything you do for her is a privilege, not an entitlement.
