Is anyone on cc even married? I can’t speak from experience, but I’m curious if anyone else has anything positive to say about marriage. There’s a lot of negativity about it online, but it could be due to the bias people have for outrageous content

>>272627
no but i remember some nona saying that she was married and didn't have to work since her nigel made a lot of money and took good care of her and didn't have kids. i was so jealous

The only "thing" about marriage is the promise that you'll be ok if it ends. Historically a wedding ring was a security deposit.

It's weird to me that men seethe so much about the very purpose of marriage. Many men want a woman to sacrifice her youth, health and career raising his progeny and then they get mad about the idea that they can't just dump her and leave her in the street.

It's OK not to marry but never compromise on your career for a guy unless he's willing to make a legal promise of financial support in return. Divorced men rarely end up with no money, no house, no career, no job experience, and several mouths to feed, but you don't want to stick with someone who doesn't understand the risks you're taking or outright sees financial commitment as an inconvenience or a scam.

You're a complete idiot if you compromise your income for a moid.

Best? Having a partner who's always at your back and in your corner.
Worst? Over-familiarity. It's deeply frustrating to know someone's flaws on the level which you know your own.

Virtually everything. Still not married to this day and happier then most people i know who are married because of it. I do not want to be a moid slave.

See i could not live with this. I could not live for 30 years knowing i have to share the house with some moid who will end up hating me and farting all over my room and my cat and my couch

hard mode:
what are the pros of marriage if you're already rich af and financially stable yourself

>>272595
Marriage made me happier, less-stressed, richer, higher status and more independent. It feels like my partner is hoisting me up on his shoulders. The problem is that you can never really know someone. At any moment some fatal flaw or hidden agenda could topple me from a great height, and take any children we have with me. It's terrifying, but the same kind of low-level fear I had towards oncoming cars on the freeway or low-flying planes. All up, it's a net-positive and worth it.

>>274738
That is literally the opposite of independant.

>Best
Having someone to fix your car, water heater and dish washer

>>274748
Why can't you do that yourself? Do you think women are incapable of repairing machines?

>>274691
The same. Promising your partner financial security so that he can raise your children without worrying about going bankrupt if you have a change of heart.

If you're both rich then it's just a friendly gesture and a fun party.

I'm married. No kids thankfully.

Best: Splitting finances and housework.
Worst: Having someone constantly around to remind me that some of my interests and opinions that I'm particularly passionate about supposedly aren't very interesting.

Best: A best friend to do literally everything with. Sometimes my husband and I are having a conversation and we genuinely enjoy talking to each other so much that if I need to go to the bathroom, he will follow me to continue the conversation and vice versa. He also wakes up earlier than me for work, goes to starbucks and leaves a my favourite coffee on my bedside table before I even wake up. This happens at least once a week but sometimes more.

Worst: I miss when life was just about chilling with your friends and doing everything & nothing together. I didn't experience this THAT much, never had too many friends to begin with, but there were 1 or 2 that I spent a lot of time with just shooting the shit in our pjs quite often and this doesn't happen as much anymore.

off-topic but i wonder what a lot of money entails. like 100k? 200k? 500k?

it doesnt seem too uncommon to earn around 100k in a lot of professions but i wonder if its enough for a man to provide for his gf/wife and still have a comfortable lifestyle

I have no idea. My mother never married. My aunt's husband died 3 years into it and she never remarried. My grandmother had literal demonic possesions foaming at mouth and screeching in unknown languages when she was married and that shit got fixed when she divorced, obviously never remarried.
I am probably never marrying either I have no idea why I should give a fuck about marriage. I actually regret even just living with my nigels, the dating phase is so sweet and passionate and all of this domestic shit ruins it.

Sounds like she faked it to get out of her marriage

>>272638
See this sounds awful to me having to rely on anyone else for something when I can have it myself. Different strokes I guess.

kek that or he was actually that much of a detriment on her mental health. Men will slowly kill women in so many ways.
