I am so tired of hearing women say marriage doesn’t work anymore, all men are narcissists, and the only reason marriages lasted in the past was because women were basically hostages. They didn’t have their own money. They couldn’t leave. They were trapped.
Maybe some of those people actually loved each other. Maybe they respected each other. Maybe they respected the marriage.
And maybe marriages aren’t lasting now because you girls do shit like this.
Your mother didn’t put her ass on the Internet for 40,000 strange men to look at and then tell your dad he was “insecure” because he didn’t like it.
She wasn’t constantly looking for attention from every man with Wi-Fi. Now somebody posts the most sexually suggestive shit imaginable and then acts shocked that men are looking. “I’m just working out!” Okay. And Hooters was just selling chicken wings.
Maybe every guy you’ve ever dated isn’t a narcissist. Maybe sometimes YOU’RE the problem. Maybe you can’t expect a man to make you feel special while you’re online begging thousands of other men to tell you how special you are. Maybe some marriages lasted because people had self-respect, respect for each other, and understood that once you got married, you quit advertising like the store was still open.
Your mother didn’t do this shit. Your grandmother damn sure didn’t. And somehow they managed to get through the day without 8,000 strangers telling them they were hot. Maybe there’s something to that.
