We've known each other since college and she actually works for me now (I bought her company from her and she now runs a division of mine), so knows that it isn't a "her" thing, but a "me" thing.
She sees that I'm not doing it "to her", but I'm doing it to the whole world and there's no malice in it. Sometimes she will give me a look in a professional setting that says "you are missing the hooks" and I will slow down.
If we hadn't known each other for so long and she wasn't so successful/accomplished herself, we wouldn't work, as I'm a "big" personality and can unconsciously steamroll people. But it's water off a duck's back to her.Screw nature; my body will do what I DAMN WELL tell it to do!

I think Spermwhale is right. As women age their bio clock is going towards the finish line and the libido speeds up trying to get the last eggs fertilized in record time before they spoil. Excuse the non scientific language.
In the 1800's (Victorian era) doctors were onto this and would give their patients orgasms in the office to temper what they labeled "hysteria" (It wasn't until the 1980s when the term was no longer considered a psychological condition).
“In the Western medical tradition, genital massage to orgasm by a physician or a midwife was a standard treatment for hysteria,”

Then some azshole invented the vibrator, which was sent home with the patient instead, and fuk'd it up for everyone.Last edited by redmelly; 09-26-2023 at 10:20 AM.

I cannot stand this..... What is even the point of being out together
I've been with my wife for almost 20 years. I don't know if it's just our situation of being "high school sweethearts" but when i'm around anyone else, I think about being at home with my family. We are married because we wanted to be with each other, and our family/relationship reflects that bond.
I think there is a greater problem with how media portrays marriages. Husband is a dope, and the wife is never happy. People either assume all marriages must be like that or their relationship begin to reflect with what they are bombarded with because it is what they see every day

Marriage is not wonderful unless you have not only put the work in for it to be so... but continue to do the work to maintain it.
But there is that 4 letter word that people avoid like the aids... WORK!!! .. and I am not talking about the Magic Johnson "gonna live forever" aids... straight up "you gone in 6 months" Eazy- muthafkn - E aids.
As soon as people realize there is work involved they give up and think its easier to just move on to the next one but soon realize that 4 letter word simply cannot be avoided if you ever expect to have any sort of long lasting relationship thats worth anything.6'2" @ 247lbs

I did end up communicating quite a bit. I'm not really sure how I could have communicated better to him, though, because it always seemed like a double edged sword. If I brought up cutting down on gaming and hanging out, he'd do it for a few days then go back to it because he "needed something to unwind". If I asked for help with laundry or dishes, he'd either say that it wasn't him who made the mess, so he shouldn't have to deal with it, or he'd do it, then start a huge fight over something he discovered while he was cleaning that wasn't done. If I asked him to watch the kids while I was doing a project or something, he'd throw on the TV and go back to his game room. What finally made me leave was my toddler telling the daycare provider that he didn't have a dad.

I don't think she would. Not saying it's impossible, just not likely. If I'm wrong, I'll just deal with it if it happens.

As bad as that sounds, life has taught me to take most divorce/bad breakup stories I hear with a grain of salt. Because you'll never hear a divorce/bad breakup stories where the person telling it was/is anything but a poor helpless victim with the whole divorce. They never did anything wrong, and everything was always the other person's fault, especially if the person telling the story was the one to initiate the breakup.

The assumption those folks make is part of their coping mechanism, usually based on trauma they have suffered.
One guy in college I knew was cheated on and spent years going "all women are sluts". He eventually met a woman he fell for, now has kids and does well, and admits he spent years embittered because of that experience. You can see it on this forum too.
Women do this too - many think all husbands cheat, or will. It is an assumption based on their own experience that they mistakenly extrapolate and apply to all marriages. You can see it on this forum too.
It applies to personal finances as well, hence why some Miscers cry "fraud!" if a man who works and lives in NYC says he is a millionaire, which is easy in this city. Not once on bogleheads has anyone doubted me, lol. So I speak in more detail about finance and investment there.

ITT people are missing a huge element: self selection bias.
The guys that you hear talking about their wives are the ones who are unhappy. The ones that are happy don't go around spending all day telling everybody about their wives. The result is that the majority of conversations you hear are negative.
This isn't the same as the majority of relationships being negative.Screw nature; my body will do what I DAMN WELL tell it to do!
