old timers say that mostly women, like most other stuff, people dont listen.
depends on how you define "work" if she walks away with a 1/2 million divorce settlement in 2 years
marriage failure did work.

Default why men are so selfish?

I have been dating this guy for almost nine years. I have one child by him and for the first five years thing where pretty good .Then he lost his job and i started to notice how messy he really was he does not like to clean cook or do anything!! He cant keep a job he has had so many jobs but can never seems to keep them.We moved in together and things just seem to go down hill from there, i work more then forthy hours a week take care of my daughter and go to school.

Sometimes i just get mad because all he does is sit at home eat play video games watch tv and go on the computer. Its just not fair one night i had came home from work and notice that he had ate almost of all the food in the house and when i asked him about it he got mad at me like i did something wrong. He is not even trying to get a job or even trying to help me i love him but sometimes i want to let him go its not fair iam all ready struggling i do not have alot money to keep replacing everything thing he messes up!!

per OP
always--- is a dangerous word, but speaking generally it is true.
at some point-- we must realize that we did not, in fact, know better than our grandparents and their domestic success was based upon the principles they practiced --which we feel so strongly are hogwash. in a word-- we loathed their methods and have strived to replace them with our own. we have failed.

Didn't I just see the same thread a few months ago, except it was a relationship can only work if the man loves the woman more.



I really need to start to think about that Ginkgo bola.

I'm marrying a man that loves me way more than I love him. This may deem me as a bit self-centered and that's cool, he knows it and I fearlessly admit. It is what it is. I have tried and tested him 1001 different ways and somehow he falls more in love with my twisted mystique. It works exceptionally well for us based on our own needs and wants.

Works both ways but its fundamental social psychology that whoever loves less has more power in the relationship. I would say that stability is achieved in such relationships where the one with such power has a good nature.

I don't know about that, but I think it's def true that a woman has to be a little smarter than her man in order for their relationship to really click and have true, long lasting intensity.

I'm sure lots of people disagree, it's ok, I'm prepared for the tomatoes.

Jeep, I already made a disclaimer I hit on my buddy Johnnie , so please excuse my bluntness. What makes you think the tables won't turn once the deal is sealed? Granted, there is an iron-clad pre-nup...
