No disrespect to anyone, but God please don't send me another partner who doesn't know how to communicate, take accountability, or emotionally show up. I don't want a partner who's still battling their own issues, avoiding healing, depressed, or emotionally unavailable and refusing help. I don't want a partner who can't stand firm, speak with clarity, or take control of their own life.
Men want a bunch of babies theoretically because they aren’t thinking through all the implications yet, and think the implications (pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding) will mostly affect her and not him
Once they see how much babies radically change your entire life - relationship, sex life, household dynamics, finances, free time, hobbies, friendships, etc. - they start to rethink
Whereas before babies, women see the upfront implications for their bodies and health and are hesitant, but once they actually have held their baby in their arms, they get addicted and want more regardless of the implications
On the internets every man wants to settle down early and have 6+ kids and when I say I haven’t encountered this irl I am told I don’t understand how to read studies
If you’re getting married because you think it will get you limitless access to sex with no consequences, stop right there. Marriage is the last place you will find limitless sex with no consequences.
This is one of the weirdest things to be (fake) offended over.
The comments in here are like “women are having fun in their 20s and not having babies until they get older” 😡 like, what’s wrong with that?
And that’s really what these men are complaining about.
It’s not the women’s age that’s the problem. It’s the fact that women are having fun, successful, enjoying their lives but they’re supposed to be miserable like these people-because misery needs company.
These people should be shamed but perhaps their misery is enough. You do not have to have sympathy for these people-I don’t!
We often get what we deserve & nothing makes miserable people more angry than the happiness of others!
I’m so sick of this nonsense, which reduces marriage to prostitution
My husband and I don’t “put up with” each other. We genuinely love each other. He’s my best friend. There is no one I would prefer to spend time with. And he feels the same way
And even if you hate your wife (why did you marry someone you hate…?), men generally want children, which women only can provide. Reducing women only to sex dispensers is so base and gross
boomers cheated on their wives like crazy, ball and chain jokes, gen X & millennial men had fight club "domestication sucks, we want to be free and sow our wild oats". gen z men would be the same,they just have no friends or sex bc of the internet & think marriage would fix both
If I had asked ANY man 18-40 to marry me at 18-25 to marry me he would have absolutely choked on his drink and say “I think you’re a bit young for that”. This new fetish for “why didn’t you marry before 30” is crazy revisionism, even 5 years ago.
The devil will try to fill your heart with fear about your life, your plans, and your future. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, knowing that God's plans for you are good. He is faithful to lead you into the future and hope He has prepared for you. Jeremiah 29:11.
I feel incredibly gaslit by a lot of Millennial men. As if I don't remember being in my early to mid-20s and listening to them laugh about the idea of marriage and kids being MAYBE 5-10 years off. Now all I see are Millennial men my age blaming women for not being married, not having kids, and calling me too old to date because they still want 4-6 kids of their own and they're pushing 40. Dude, no. You wanted NONE 10-15 years ago. You wasted your own time as much as everyone else's. (This is not directed at Skeletor, just the Millennial men I keep encountering b*tching about women.)
