What is wrong with men today? Has it come to this? This is crazy.
You've got to let your balls drop, put some base in your voice, and be a man. This is bizarre to me.
Listen man, just because the TV or whatever you are watching or listening to gives you girl the type of "empowerment" to go around and bang other dudes, doesn't mean you got to stand for it. At the end of the day, you're the man. You need to start acting like a real dude.
Honestly, she has to respect you on a different level than the level you're at now. Unfortunately, you may not be able to get this respect back. You already let it go. I think you have to get rid of this one, re-evaluate and change up your methods.
I don't really know what to tell you.
Actually I disagree. Has nothing to do with men specifically. This goes for both men and women.
I find it how sad and how much suffering and torture people go through just to be in a relationship and not alone.
I don't what's happened, but it's like people have no self-respect for themselves. A woman like that I would have left her ages ago and would have never reproduced. Instead, I would wait til I find a more quality woman that is worthy of starting a family with.

I completely agree with you. But it also seems like men do not notice or want the quality women.

Problem is men think we their penis instead of their brain. I am actually gay, it this type of behavior is even worse in the gay community.
Looks are so important to gay guys, that many are willing to put with so much crap just because of a guy's looks. I know I went through this. Dated a lot of hot guys, who had major red flags from the get go, which I chose to ignore because I found them so attractive and followed my penis's desire, but not my heart or brain. I then didn't realize I had an amazing guy in front of me, who showed me nothing but respect, but I never thought of him that way.
Now? I have learned my lesson. I don't follow my penis's desire anymore (unless it's just a hookup) and it's faired much better for me on an emotional level.

I'd rather be alone and happy, than together and miserable.
Fortunately, I am neither, I am together and happy, BEYOND happy, for 8 years now.
Too many people just settle, DON'T settle. Know what you are looking for, and want out of a relationship and I guarantee that it's out there.
of course there is compromise, but that's not the same as settling.
Desperate people find desperate people. That is not a good foundation for a long lasting healthy relationship.

Totally agree. I have been single for about three years and so happy. I am ready to be in a relationship, could happen as early as next week could happen for another two years, but I let it happen organically, don't force it, and only commit myself to someone I truly share that connection with, I never settle.
The funny is thing, last year I was dating, and dating a lot, and I found dating around actually made me unhappier. It felt more empty. I decided to take a 6 month break from dating and I realized I was so much happier not doing it.
As others have stated, and I agree, that what you and your wife have is not an open marriage. If divorce is not an option, and I totally understand that, then work on saving your marriage. Both of you need to drop the side pieces and go to counseling.
Curious--how old are both of you? Are you each other's "firsts"? I ask because I often see that young couples who are together a long time from a young age tend to want to "explore" what's out there and realize maybe the person they married isn't the most compatible.
